    Crashed this morning

    Glad you are OK buddy. It seriously ticks me off that the police wouldn't come. One time my car got hit in a parking lot (when I was in school) and it wrecked the bumber and tailight. The car (a big boat of a vehicle) that actually was parked right next to me had front end damage at the same...

    WOW! How do you decide which bike to ride when? I have my FZ6 and a TW200 (enduro) so when I need to go offroad, I take the Teeny Weeny (hee hee TW200). Jason

    Ok, what did you buy???

    I slurged on a bunch of RAM mounts.... one for my blackberry, one for my GPS, one that is a camera mount, and one that is a drink holder. Crazy. I also got a new pair of ginch since my last ones turned brown after I *almost* dropped my bike.;)

    Makes me feel lucky to still be riding. Carpe Diem.

    HOLY CRAP! 2" from the ground and I pulled it back!

    You know, I can't really explain it. To whoever said it is like slow motion, you are totally correct! I remember it feeling like I had a long time to decide what to do. And all I could think about was that I was not going to let my bike touch the ground. The bike was just about on the ground and...

    Riding Smooth, Not Necessarily Fast

    "There's Art to be found there". Wow, I love it. Thanks for sharing. The last line says it all. :wav:

    HOLY CRAP! 2" from the ground and I pulled it back!

    Ok, so add me to the ever-growing list of idiots who didn't buy frame sliders when they bought their bike. :spank: So I was out for a ride today, and just as I was backing into my driveway, my neighbor comes over. I had just turned the bike off. She started talking to me so I took my helmet off...

    Givi hard cases on order...

    I seem to have misplaced my receipt for this. :spank: However I do know for all three cases and required mounts I spent +/- $1100 (here in Canada).:canada: Not cheap given the whole bike was $7300 brand new here. But what great looking bags! The quality of the top box I do have is excellent...

    Givi hard cases on order...

    Thanks agmom! I received the top-mount case today, unfortunately not the side cases even though they were *supposed* to be shipped all together. I love the top-case though, I paid the extra for the "clear-coat" black so it matches the glossy black of my FZ6. Should look good once I get all the...

    1st Gear Launch..how to?

    Can you explain to me what you mean by "slip the clutch"? I am not familiar with that. J:D

    Givi hard cases on order...

    Hey everyone, about two weeks ago I ordered a complete set of hard-sided Givi bags for my 2008 FZ6 (in clear coat glossy black to match my "FASTER than BLUE" :eek: black FZ6). Of course this time of year they are back-ordered and they are telling me it will still be two weeks until they arrive...

    Look Ma...No Hands!

    I just bought a RAM camera mount so I can still keep one hand on the throttle and just press the shutter button to take the picture! Will post photos when it arrives.

    Double Yellows

    ALMOST NEVER! There is usually a good reason for them that I can't always see until it is too late. The only time I have is if it is a slow vehicle (farmer moving a tractor or something).

    FZ6 in Drive thru? - Surfboard on a bike?

    Awesome thanks! I have run in to the situation where I'd like to grab a latte on the way home and then I realize, "I'm on my bike, where the heck will I put it?" I just ordered the RAM mount cup holder (and while I was there picked up the blackberry holder and the camera mount). Thanks! Jason

    For you Krashers: what does the Sig-O say?

    Yeah, that's kind of what happened to me. I dumped a (large and heavy) Suzuki Intruder going 70 km/hr and the wife said NO MORE STREET BIKES. I was fine other than sore for a while (I had full riding gear on). The bike was a write off. So, I bought a Yamaha TW-200 and enjoyed that for 2 years...

    to mp3 or to not mp3

    I don't wear earphones (regardless of the sound levels) because I know how music gets my adrenalin going. I know that if I get a good song playing I am bound to turn the throttle a little harder and corner a little deeper than I normally would! Sounds like complete perfection I am sure, but it...

    Okay, it doesn't seem like an Axe-murderer anymore...

    I noticed the same thing on my 2008 FZ6, under about 4500 rpm the engine makes a clicking noise. Glad I am not the only one, I was wondering if I was having a problem.
