no, I won't affix a parking crapsticker to my bike.... here's why: if they're actually patrolling, and towing cars, they're used to seeing your bike. EVERY FREAKING DAY, IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA. if they have problems id'ing your bike they aren't paying enough attention, hence the parking...

I remember how the gs would allow cornering like this. its carbs are very forgiving, along with its geometry. the fuel injection of the fz and quicker throttle response is only making your improper cornering technique -feel- wrong now. try a lower gear, decelerating before the turn, then holding...

excellence in threes !

i had alot of trouble sourcing a p3, believe it or not. shipping was not free on the p3, and best delivery i could confirm was two weeks out. that is the only reason why. i'm running the pilot power on the front still. they feel excellent together dry, haven't had the bike wet yet. will...

i'm with you here, but: did he offer you pay your deductible for YOUR insurance ? your unpaid doctor bills ? your gear that insurance might forget about ? a buddy is a buddy, and being one means righting wrongs to -said- buddy. also, he should have immediately said "**** man...

82 in a 70, on I-75 heading north out of tampa.... why ? because everyone else moved RIGHT towards him on the shoulder, on a BMW. i moved LEFT towards the 'fast' lane and didn't lift. they almost caused a huge pile up slamming on their brakes. why'd i move left ? cause there was biker on...

OP- looks like you avoided the WHITE vehicle, as it accelerated pretty quick afer you started your turn, then the dark SUV blocked your path. wrongs: sitting in an intersection (sometimes we all get trapped there) not giving the dark SUV a bigger clearance turning left on green...

op - are you on gstwins ? how many miles did you abuse the gs ? how do you like the handling ? awesome huh ? enjoy !

i don't know if it's a javascript applet, or what, but the 'whos online' bar at the bottom of this and all pages doesn't render right on my current (up to date cyanogenmod'd) android devices. the bar gets stuck somewhere in the middle of the page, and scrolls -with- the page, occasionally...

could you pull some more info (and a source) for the bmw charger ? i've noticed my battery tender charges my drz's battery in 3-4 hours, then occasionally only 30 minutes. seems odd. tahnks , good info !

SOLID colors, like white helmet, red, yellow, whatever. anything mixed or graphic on a helmet makes it disappear. i've seen these locally, and they're great. i'll be upgrading to a high-vis riding suit/lid here soon. vanity ? eff that, black gear with a tiny bit of 3M piping is a black hole...

if the fz wasn't a 120< mph bike, sure, keep them, but it IS, so it's time for new ones.

from now on i'm only wearing silk gloves when i change my oil, and only putting my own brew of 105 octane gas with 'smart pills' in it. also, i'm only using my own bicycle pump air for the tires, cause gas stations are putting high H2O air in their compressors to lower your fuel milage...

holy mismatch oldnrusty batman ! didn't realize he meant the originals... standing corrected !:eek:

I just received 120/70/17 and 180/55/17 pirelli diablos from cyclegear for $220 shipped... in two days. I like the rear so far. plenty of reviews out there. all you need to change them are 32 and 29mm sockets, 3 tire levers, bike pump and a bucket. save urself $150 on mount n balance :)

why pairs if one is fine ?

i realized while adjusting my chain slack that the rear had a plug. how the hell i didn't notice that originally makes my stomach turn... the front ppower still looks fine, another 3-4K till the wear bars shine. i'll keep it, and have a front diablo waiting along with my MTB tires, kenda dual...

+2 black sharpies do a great job.

yepyep, just a little stained ;-) sounds good to me, not too loud, not to wifffy. the case guards are what was mentioned already, i haven't tried to 3-point them yet, guess it's a good idea to know beforehand though. will do in the morning when i'm fresh and ready to pick up the bike...

I love dropped bikes = yes buy it I hate financing toys = save your money and plunk cash, DO NOT FINANCE TOYS !
