    dream bike?

    Money, Availability, and Practicality be damned! What two (or three) wheeled creature do you dream of at night? Vintage, custom, exotic, one-off, chopper, superbike, anything. Myself? Bimota DB6 Delirio - everything I love about the FZ6 taken to the next level. Also love Richard...

    Clear coat over tank decals?

    The simplest answers are usually best. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. 7 dollar sticker vs. tank repainting?? It's a no brainer. I used to be smart when I was younger. What happened?

    maybe it's just me...

    Good point Humperdink...I have indeed been over 8,000 rpm and she goes. Have had the new bike urge from time to time just not sure anything else will be as comfy, cool, fun, versatile, etc. The FZ just suits me.

    H1N1, Who's getting the vaccine?

    I work in a hospital and informally, it's pretty well split down the middle. Some think it's a no brainer to get it. Others feel there hasnt been enough research on side effects. I am in the latter group. Actually, I'm in the "This is a crock of sh1t, dreamt up by our government to...

    maybe it's just me...

    I actually LIKE most of my fz stock. I prefer the sound to most of the youtube vids of diff cans. I really like the look of the bike. And the performance. Sure, suspension could be better. Swingarm is straight vanilla. But there is an awful lot of bike there for around 7 grand US. If...

    Clear coat over tank decals?

    Bought some vinyl decals from Immortalgraphix.com, love them but concerned about wear. Anybody done a home clearcoating job on their tank? Thought about taping off around decals and spraying a few layers...would spare the rest of the tank if I screwed it up. Your thoughts? Will post pics...

    rocks pelting my pipes

    I live down a rocky dirt road and my pipe fronts are taking a beating. A front cowl would also take a beating. Thought about exhaust wrap or fender extender...any other ideas?? Black powdercoat maybe? And yes, I searched for exhaust wrap and fender extenders already!! Just wondering of...

    fenda extenda

    Has anyone used the Fenda Extenda front fender extension from Twistedthrottle.com? I live down a pebbly dirt road. Thought it might save me some dents on my pipes.

    So how hot is too hot?

    August in Louisiana is hellish. I ride anyway, but sometimes ATGATT goes out the window. I apologize profusely. Even the vented mesh jacket is a killer at 100+ degrees and 90 percent humidity. Still keep the full face lid though. Prefer mid-60's to mid-70's. With gear.

    fz6 or s2?

    Working on photo. I know about the fully faired fz6r. I have the half-faired fzr. OTD for 6600. Some nut traded this 2009 with 866 miles in for a suz gzx650f. I got the better end of that deal, I think. My other bike is a VStar 650 for when I'm feeling cruiser-y. Also got a YZ...

    fz6 or s2?

    Need some clarification...just bought a 2009 fzr in Louisiana...is this just an fz6 or is it a Fazer or an s2? What exactly have I got? Other than a beautiful, awesome bike? Differences between N. American and Euro versions?
