    Plasti Dip / Tank Removal

    It's really not that thick -you'll have good coverage after 5 - no real reason to go for more if you like the looks - I don't think you'll feel like the edges get smoothed out too much.

    50 mph crash

    A few welds, some bolts and creative vinyls and he can get that roadworthy again :-P

    Plasti Dip / Tank Removal

    Front Fender: Allen keys and a philips head screw driver - 4 bolts and one snap/clip for the brake line. Tank: Undoing the fuel line won't leak (much), it requires the fuel pump to push fuel through, just be careful with anything that may already be in the line, but it won't be much. It's...

    Pikes Peak Rider Bobby Goodin Reportedly Airlifted To Hospital

    First fatality of the race since 1982 (not sure if that figure was just for MC riders or all)- which is actually really surprising. An unfortunate turn of events, but lytehouse said it.

    Blipping the throttle (Rev matching)

    The point of this is so that you can get full braking power and downshifting at the same time. Try two finger braking, while holding the throttle with your ring and pinky finger. As you're gently braking to slow down for the turn, combine the downshift/blipping with your braking. It doesn't...

    Close call last Sunday

    So the same thing just happened to me Friday, except it was with an elderly man (handicapped sticker in the windshield) and resulted in quite a bit of road rage directed at me. He tried to race ahead and merge into my space ahead of a construction zone - I honked and evaded as he bumped my...

    POS kickstands...

    I'm creative - my tag holder is actually bolted to the top rear of the subframe (where the stock exhaust holder bolted on) so I figured any sort of standard setup you had wouldn't work form. Since my bike is naked, wet roads mean that my chest/helmet already get covered in grime, so if I...

    POS kickstands...

    I got a puck from Mike after taking the ARC with MSF Ohio - Haven't had to use it much, I like the idea of keeping it out from under the seat, I'll try to find a place to tuck mine :)

    cycle magazines

    Look carefully, if he's anything like I would hope, he's hidden some of his dirty mags in there too.

    Close call last Sunday

    This! I almost never honked my horn (in my cage) until I spent 4 months living in West Africa - horns are used there so much more than here, and it worked. When I got back I found myself using my horn a lot more, and I continue to - If I do something stupid I want someone to honk at me -...

    Close call last Sunday

    Almost every day I want to kick a cage with my boot - but I'm glad it hasn't come to that yet. Sounds pretty sketchy - glad you kicked the fender and not the wheel itself!

    Destroyed My FZ6

    I noticed the batman forearm blades - do you wear those all the time? They're awesome!

    Plasti Dip / Tank Removal

    Okay - you're convincing me - I need to do an actual thread about how to plastidip a bike the right way. In the meantime: Step one - Cleaning/Prep Clean everything well - you can do this better with parts off the bike, so empty your tank by riding as much as you're comfortable, it'll be...

    NYC's Motorcycle Checkpoints= where is the lube when I need it?

    It's the NYPD, he's probably going to get a hospital bill for the scratches the plainclothes LEO without a helmet incurred when he dropped the bike.

    Summer mode (no screen vs tall screen)

    I love naked - for all of Eric's reasons! The bugs aren't that bad, every once in a while you catch a cicada or junebug on the adams apple, but hey - if you have a clean visor people will think that your bike just lives in the garage year round and never gets ridden.

    FZ6 Rearset Set Back Plates For Sale

    Just installed mine today - I flipped it and threw on a new ball joint - Easy, just drill/punch out the old one. Simple, solid, looks good - going to coat the linkage in black at some point - for now, I'm enjoying the new position - combined with my clip ons - it's a much more aggressive feel...

    Ohio : Saturday 06-13 - Route 555

    I've driven past it probably 30 times on 77 over the last 8 years and never stopped. I guess I should probably check it out one of these years, that is a big bucket.
