    Po dropped it or something, punched the signal through on the RH side... I laid it down on both sides in the garage to test the crash cage. It 3 points nicely. :)

    Fuel Grade (regular, mid-range or premium)

    Someday, many years from now, you will stop to fill up your car/truck/boat (yes, boat, please boat!) at a gas station. An old man will approach you, hobbling, with a big, ugly grin of dentures. He will cackle a little, or maybe want to shake your hand. He will thank you for ensuring...

    Do you turn brights off in traffic?

    Brights are a ticket offense here in my state. Will it happen for a motorcyclist ? Most likely not. Yes, it will annoy drivers, but moreso at night, from behind them. Give them the courtesy of dimming your beams when you're directly behind them, and on two lane roads at night. FLASH HI LOW...

    FZ6 vs. Vstrom

    I love the fz, but the vstrom is a more practical and better fit for me. The fz handles great, great power, and comfortable. The vstrom does the same, but much more docile. Softer suspension, relaxed ergos, and the transmission is always better on a suzuki. Even my 30K+ miles gs500 shifted...

    I tried using ear plugs today on my ride to work

    +1 Earplugs are one of the single most important pieces I use for comfort and safety. At 50+ mph there is very little that can be heard over the road noise, wind, and bike's engine = no need in destroying your hearing by -not- wearing plugs. I like how the ear plugs bring everything down...

    Best RPM to shift!

    lol yep 1st to 2nd is crap, unless my bike is completely warmed, the planets align perfectly, and i've already committed 1,000 perfect crimes that day. otherwise, CA THRUNCH is what 1st to 2nd sounds like. i usually shift 1-2 at around 4,000 or so, occaionally i'll wind her up a little if...

    urban dictionary "like a boss": What you say to make things soud cooler/more exiting then it actually is. originated from the song like a boss, by the lonley island. yeah, i did my homework. like a boss -thankfully, the urban dictionary exists, otherwise i'd be lost.

    clutch problems

    easy test: 1) start and warm bike (around the block / whatever) 2) don't downshift to 1st as you're slowing to a parking curb/wall/whatever 3) assuming you're in 5th or 6th, rev to 3-4K and (not dump) release the clutch if the engine doesn't die, but revs and tries to push the bike, yes...

    Two steep hills and short legs = bad news :(

    this guy rocks ! ride with and learn from him more. just don't ding up his stuff :spank: the turn right to go left makes sense. uphill/downhill stuff is funny sometimes, even for us 6'4" weirdos. and yes, we drop bikes. it's just louder and more damage usually.

    Balancing issues

    +1 on finding another shop +1 on static balance no jigs needed, if two lawn chairs and your axle isn't enough for you to see where the weight needs to be, you need new bearings ! should begin to spin freely without moving the axle at all. you should see the looks on guys faces when they...
