    06 FZ1 VS 07 FZ6 Which one???????

    I do have and 04 FZ6 and an 07 FJR. They do compliment each other very well. I get tired of a large bike around town due to the extra weight and parking hassel. The FZ6 is much more maneuverable, and more fun in the winding roads. However the FJR is way more comfortable on rides longer than...

    FZ6 slower with premium fuel?

    I know several engine builders and engineering brainiacs, here's what they say: (1) Regular, MidGrade and Premium are all Unleaded gas (no lead in any of them) (2) Any given engine will perform it's best by using the LOWEST octane rating that does not cause harm to the engine from...

    First outing, went down.

    I call the tipping point of, when you are able to save the fall and lift your bike back up, and the tipping point of where you are unable to lift your bike back up, the "Point of No Return". All bikes have this "Point of No Return", but they are different on different bikes. Learn yours, and...

    FZ1 bars installed

    So.....would the effect be to lean over more with the FZ1 bars? More like a cafe or race bike. The new bars look cool, can't wait to see them on the bike. Thanks for doing this post too!

    Insurance

    did anyone else's insurance rate drop ?

    I have done quite a bit of checking, because I do insurance in Texas right now. (will retire 3-31-09) Yes!!! Seems like Foremost and Progressive have very good rates, if you have good credit. Credit scoring works like this. Most generally people with poor credit, pay their bills slowly...

    Why I don't Like Cats (Slight Gore)

    Man if you would have cornered Big Morris like that.....you would be shredded. Scared animals do not like to be cornered. Corner a Pit Bull? No thanks Those bite and scratch wounds always get infected, stay after it as it can get serious if left unattended. Hope you get well soon. Watch out...
