This should be reported to the police as hit and run- had you been in a car with less space to give, there would have been a collision and a police report, no? His vehicle struck you. This guy sholdn't get off scott free, and don't assume it wasn't intentional- big truck vs little bike thing...

Clunk, Putting a topcase over the pillion works very well and does give you a back rest, but you definately lose the ability to carry a passenger without a major undo. I don't know of any such set-ups for the FZ, but you could start with the standard Givi setup and fabricate a forward bracket...

I rode the dragon a week ago and, as Oogie mentioned earlier, the police were definately there. On the north end where it sweeps down to the lake, they had 3 cars and a radar set up. Probably because thats a place where you would be inclined to get on the gas after miles of slow and tight...

This is an '07 with a 35 litre Givi topcase and a 50 litre Givi. The sidecases are Givi E-21's. I prefer the smaller sidecases because they keep the bike slimmer and (better yet) they are top-opening. I've ridden in torrential rain with this setup and never had a drop leak in. They are...

I work in track service for a tire company supplying the tires to the "World of Outlaws" sprint car circuit (a traveling circus basically), so I get to see most of the US over the course of a year. Sometimes I am able to take the bike along and do some local touring, time permitting. Last...

I have traced the exhaust from front to back from the underside- which is fairly easy to do- and haven't found anything touching. I have ruled out chain grease and oil-change residue, etc. It smells more like burning rubber than burning plastic, although it is a mild odor. Is that what...

I've noticed that on my '07 many times. I thought some rubber or plastic part had gotten on something very hot (like the exhaust) but after looking several times I can't find the source. Finally quit worrying about it and just ride- but I still think it is unusual.

Go for #3- You know you want it. Move the GF in and get her to help with the payments (pay rent). Or co-buy the house with the GF. If you can survive the payments for a couple of years the purchase price will seem like a bargain soon as our country must be heading into a serious inflation...

The March issue of 'Motorcycle Consumer News' has a nice review of Pazzo and CRG levers. It basically says that both brands work just fine, but the CRG's seem to have a better finish level. It's worth a read.

Rain sucks I ride plenty in the rain but I don't like it; avoid snow as much as possible, but sometimes sheet happens. . . . . Who doesn't prefer good weather???

Get the 08 The day you buy anything new, it starts getting older . . . buy the 08 for sure. I don't agree with the advice about dropping it- be very careful and try to avoid drops and crashes (really). You should be able to control the price negotiation- after all, you're the one with the...
