No piece of mechanical machinary is immune to your modification mayhem is it:rolleyes: And so begins the next chapter in your cycle modification odyessy, good luck!!:rockon:

Nope, I'm with you on this one. I had a VERY similar thing happen about 2 months ago here in the No. Dallas area. Mine was actually a cut of sorts that sent the tire down while I was spinning through a corner at about 65. Not sure where you were riding but the Farm Roads around here a pretty...

I am heading out with some others on saturday 2/7 and thought I would see if any other FZ6's wanted to join. Heading from Mckinney west and then north to red river. Back road twistys most of the route. Weather should be great for a nice afternoon ride!! 12:00 Chevron at NE corner of 380 and...

Not quite June yet....Dammit! At least I can ride here in TX year round. Im still researching trailering options and routes in that area for the extra days I am going to be there. Would like to have the suspension (at least the forks) upgraded by that time.

6000+ wow I am way out, I am at about 1200 for January and put 160 on today on a fine No. Texas day. looking for something similar tomorrow. Have to admit that on a few of the 30 degree mornings this contest has encouraged me to tough out the cold morning commute on the bike.

PM'd you about the FE kit. I call dibs on that!! Thanks, Brian

4000-6500 around town (I commute on it) is comfortable and good for MPG and generally fine with power. Weekends and country twisties is more like 8-12K the whole trip. The power responsivness for those conditions requires those revs and the rev happy yam plant is more than willing!! This is one...

+1 on this!! Play hockey and skied most of life ans still play about 3 days a week. Ski boots and Ice skates are quite similar with regard to fitting and the best bet is to hit a real shop and spend a little more to get them fit right. Each Mfg has a little different type of fit and a shop will...

Thanks Pete, i have these along with the Ridesmart and lone star dates in my calendar as well. Definetly going to make it to 4-5 or this year :rockon: Hope you got out in the fine TX weather today, me and about 25 other sportbikes put in almost 200 miles of twisty FM roads around north dallas...

Nice weekend for sure, I am in SF quite often for work and have to stay over many weekends. Have thought about renting a bike and heading out for a weekend of riding when I am there. You have confrimed this is what I need to do on my next trip. I will be sure to keep you guys in mind as guides!

It is a little heavier than the 1 pieces I looked at but I am with you, it may only be piece of mind but the suit weight certainly inspires confidence that it will protect in the unfortunate event it is needed!

Ok so i'll update now that I have the suit and have tried it on. THe quality is excellent, perhaps a little on the heavy side but the seams and armor are great and the two pieces fit together nicely with the full circumference zipper. As for fit, the jacket is perfect, the pants are a little...

Like Anthony I am coming in pretty early to get in more time and am not familiar with the area that much so any thoughts on rides for wed and thursday would be appreciated!!!! Local knowledge is always best.

I put my Rizomas on about 2 months ago and have riden about 1500mi on them. Love them!! took a little getting used to as they are different but they are very comfortable and look great. I also have the same gap on the throttle side that is a little larger than I would like but the function is...

Planning to do a number of trackdays this year so I sprung for 2 piece from Joe Rocket that UPS is supposed to deliver to my home today. About 550.00 delivered. I get back to dallas from the bay area on Friday, i'll let you know about the fit and quality when I get a chance to see the final...

The joys of riding in TX, i'll take a close look to see if i picked up some local fauna!!!

Come to think of it mostly when I am riding with wind at back or little wind. I generally notice it more when I am cornering more aggressivly, I generally dont trail brake much rather lean in, crack on and roll the throttle all the way out. The sound hits right as I lean in, so I was thinking...

No, it seems to have been there the entire time as far as I can remember, thats probably why I thought it was Aero related kind of like a wing tip vortice. It has about 4000 miles on it and very little of it <80 miles of that in foul weather. It is going in for a 4000 mile check so I will be...

So i have noticed a hissing sound as I corner. This happens at all speeds, seems to be greater at higher lean angles however. At first I thought is was aero around the fairing tips but I have noticed at 30-35 mph relatively high lean angle turns as well. Perhaps a breather or vent hose...

+1 on that, I suspect we will get a few more as the date arrives. I am going to be there so count me in for sure, coming up from TX and I want to maxmize the ride time in the area. Rode with a guy yesterday that was saying at lunch how a trip to Deals Gap is on his wish list, only a little...
