:welcome: Welcome aboard. I am in Grapevine. We do need to get a ride together. Maybe in September when it cools a bit.

:confused: What are Chicken Strips??

I would like to get some sidecases for the bike. I am leaning toward the Givi E21s. What is your opinion of that choice? I don't need a lot of room. Do I have to modify the turn signals? How easy is installation? Can you show a pic of your bike if you have these cases...

Tin pusher.... I tell pilots what to do all day in one of the busiest, most complex airspace in the US. Even though I am employed by the US Govt, it's a great job. 18 years in & 3 to go to retirement. I just hope I can make it before I burn out...:eek:

I am trying to remember the last time I was out on a 2 lane road. That's depressing. I need to get out more.... I think my patience would get the best of me & I would pass over a double yellow line. I usually ride the speed limit on surface streets. Once on the freeway, I am usually a...

I always wear the helmet & gloves. In direct violation of what I learned in my safety course, I have ridden in Shorts & t-shirt. Only a few miles to run an errand & not over 35 mph. I accept the risk at that speed. I ride bicycles with less on and at a higher speed at times. I NEVER hit the...

Just joined the forum this week. I have a red 2006 FZ6, purchased last November. It is my first moto. Being 46, you could call it a mid life crisis if you wish, it was I admit. Oh well, it was worth it. I didin't realize that the FZ6 had such a following. I am glad I found you all...
