    North Carolina visit

    I'm enjoying some of the local interest here in Waxhaw. Staying with the in-laws and kids enjoying the club amenities i.e. pools, exercise gym, walks around the neighborhood. Still undecided between OBX or other places, helping my in-law get settled in her new house. I promised to lay down a...

    North Carolina visit

    Just arrived this afternoon with the family. Planning in visiting a few choice places.... OBX, Myrtle beach and maybe several more. Will be hanging around until next Saturday so I got a week of site seeing. Any suggestions from locals for me to visit?

    North Carolina visit

    Heard so many nice places to visit and get lost riding, unfortunately my steed's back in Jersey. Not a complete loss though, Competition Accessories is only half an hour away from Waxhax.:rolleyes: I've been meaning to buy this half helmet with pop out shield for those hot days. Maybe I'll...

    Have you had your FZ6 stolen, attempted stolen or vandalized?

    :BLAA::BLAA: ^^^^I was thinking of the same thing^^^^ Texas, where everything is big according to a Geico commercial. Why deal with a 9mm when you got a SHOTGUN!!

    Throttle Meister Cruise Control

    I have this and like some I too find little use for it other than "taming" a little of that handlebar buzz :rolleyes: Great on long roads with little traffic, but there's cheaper alternatives like the crampbuster or vista cruise universal cruise control. I've read some reviews here about the...

    Heading west: NYC to CO & UT

    Riding in the city is an exercise in defensive riding, but to do well you must be able to be on the offensive sometimes. Yes, even on the bike. I moved to Jersey City when I was 13 and learned to ride the Path trains into the city then and practically lived there everyday after school. Drove...

    WTB: Belly Pan/Chin Fairing

    Here's one: http://www.600riders.com/forum/bikes-parts-sale/45746-fz6-cup-belly-pan.html Seller is from NY, belly pan looks nice. You only need to fab a piece to attached the front end, also you'll need to loose your center stand.

    Looking for '07 Cowling/Fairing Stay

    Thanks. I thought of doing just that (welding), but will that give me relatively acceptable results from the abuse it'll have to take all over again? :confused: Dealership is asking for $215 for the stay, bolt and washer and that's not installed. :( Figured plenty of guys did the naked...

    Looking for '07 Cowling/Fairing Stay

    I'm also willing to make a trade, I have a brand new, never installed crankcase cover for the '07 FZ6.

    Looking for '07 Cowling/Fairing Stay

    After 5 years of riding over bumps, potholes etc my cowling/fairing stay finally split clean in two pieces where it's bolted to the frame and I've also lost the bottom bolt and washer. I gerry rig it with a rope and wire to hold it in place and keep it from flopping and falling off all over the...

    Time frame 6:20 the house on the right as we all made that left turn is where Ed (LI) went down :( I was right behind Manny and waited for awhile before our fears was realized. Again, happy to hear Ed is fine. :thumbup:

    Highest mile sport touring tire

    Just had my BT023's changed before the group ride with Erci, 12,000+ miles on those both front and rear tires. I now have Continental ContiMotion as a replacement and liking it. I'm sure it's not as sticky on the road as many other brands but you also loose mileage with those. I'm not an...

    How many miles do you get out of your brake pads?

    Got 22,000+ miles on my '07 FZ6 before recently getting them changed. I originally brought my bike in to get new tires installed when the mechanic informed me it was overdue. Rear pads were as he described it "thin like potato chips". I was gonna ask Ruffle or plain :BLAA: Front pads were...

    Sunday - August 5th NJ/PA ride

    Thanks for the pics but damn.... that last one with me gobbling away on those drumsticks weren't flattering :eek: Next time give me a "Yo Dude, heads up!!" so I can at least put down the chicken, hahahaha :BLAA: Again thanks for the post, I'm sure there's more coming up.

    Sunday - August 5th NJ/PA ride

    Sorry for not staying to the finish after eating at the general store, I had to be back before my call starts at work (7pm). Got home at 6:27pm, peeled myself off my sticky gear from sweating all day plus the humidity :eek::eek::eek:. Nothing like a nice cold shower after a long day's ride...

    Sunday - August 5th NJ/PA ride

    For that, you don't need the helmet accessory. Easy to spot the sweeper.....just look for the rider with the busted headlight. :D:D
