    Challenged the law. Got $113 ticket for my trouble.

    hey at least the tickets are cheaper there than in SK. My last speeding ticket, was around the $220 mark and i wasn't over the limit as much as you were. Everyone speeds folks, don't say that you never do. Drive/ride within your limits and road conditions And lighten up

    Honda CBR600RR

    I know the guy who is selling the bike so he let me ride it yesterday for pretty much the whole day. The throttle response is amazing and it is a little smoother than my FZ6 was, but I am not sure about the riding position. That being said I was in a shop on wednesday and there was a 65 year...

    Honda CBR600RR

    So in my search for new wheels I came across a 2006 CBR600RR, nice black one. I have to say pretty nice bike, has anyone had any experience with them ? The riding position is different of course and that is my main concern, I am wondering how uncomfortable it will get on road trips. Being...

    FZ6R questions

    Does anyone on here have a FZ6R, i got back to Regina today and went to look at a new one. Kinda surprised to find out that it is a totally different bike, shares the name but thats about it. So a few quick questions, for the owners of them: How do you find the power on them ? Is...

    Hit and Run

    It is really amazing that drivers don't see bikes, parked or moving. The fact that most bikes are bright colours makes them highly visible and yet everyday there are reports of accidents. Are there really that many bad drivers out there ? Of course the answer is yes. BTW SueMC I like the red...

    Good bye FZ6 ... fun while it lasted

    So i looked at a few options today, I have to wait til i am back in Regina. Should be next weekend, i was a little surprised to find out that a FZ6-R is a completely different bike from the FZ6. Why do they have the same basic name, pay about the same for a slower, heavier bike. Still kinda...

    Good bye FZ6 ... fun while it lasted

    Yah it is trashed, fairing is destroyed, gas tank split, looked like part of the frame on the front gone also. I was just down in the parking area and found a frame slider ... so i have one thing left other than my key. The other bike was a really nice red shadow and his was just as bad...
