    Pilot Road vs Pilot Power 2ct?

    The Roads are more neutral, quite similar to the 020's in that respect but I found the roads to be MUCH more predictable and grippy than the 020's. The powers actually dive into corners VERY easily (the roads are pretty easy too) and both give excellent feel when leaned over. As for two up, no...

    Pilot Road vs Pilot Power 2ct?

    Both are dual compound, the power is aimed at more aggressive riding or track oriented work and the road is more touring focused. I road both last year and can not say enough good things about either for the FZ6! I wound up primarily using the Power as the year went on mostly because I was doing...

    2010 Dragons Tail FZ6RC Meet.

    i wish this were a week later. I am going to Barber Motorsports Park for a track weekend Aug 14-15 and would loved to have tied this all into one big fun trip. I actually planned a deals Gap trip and put down the 300 deposit on the ridge for a week in June when I had not seen an update on this...

    Those of you with multiple bikes

    The FZ6 for commuting and the Triumph Daytona 675 for spirited weekend tides and the track! As for Mods, the Triumph has been getting them as it is new and the FZ was about as modded as I was going to take it unless I was going to dedicated track bike setup.

    Hardest technique to master?

    Thanks for the feedback Misti! Sorry for the confusion, the reference to "one Control" was more mental for me. While not specifically referring to Trail braking which as you noted is rarely advised outside of track/racing environment (and a skill I am just now starting to develop on track) I...

    What other Bike?

    Got a new Triumph Daytona 675 a couple of months ago primarily for more agressive rides with friends and the track. Track plastics will be the next addition to the 675.

    Hardest technique to master?

    Throttle control is certainly the thing I tried (and continue to to try) to understand and get better at each time I ride, particularly at the track. It seems to me that good throttle control is having the knowledge to use the throttle appropriately in each circumstance you encounter. Each ride...

    What Magazines get you through the winter?

    I have found that I like the England based magazines. FastBikes, Super Bikes and Performance Bikes. More focused on sport bikes and I have little interest in cruisers so these tend to hit the things I'm looking for.

    2010 SoCal Track days - who/where/when?

    I managed to hit 3 of the TX tracks this year, would like to have hit TWS but never quite hit the timing right. Houston was blast and Cresson is great (both the 1.7mi and the 3.1mi). I'm looking to get up to Hallet in OK in 2010. Additionally RideSmart is going to Barber in AL for the weekend of...

    HyperPro Springs installed

    Economical and straightforward solution to the FZ6's only significant weakness, worth every penny. more predictable, more comfortable, more stable!!

    In town 2nd and 3rd gear speeds.

    Sure, this engine lives for revs. Very common on high paced rides and track days to be running quite high revs in 2nd >9-10k. 5,6,7K around town is no problem and may even get you out of a tight spot or two. Biggest issue is your comfort however. Higher revs can be a bit daunting, ride in the...
