    Flashing Lights and Unemployment

    ahhhhh, gps tracking. instant, verifyable data that SHOWS YOU WERE DEFINITELY NOT SPEEDING, and in their face. along with video evidence, which they really really really don't like you having when you're pulled oever. I LOVE VIDEOING COPS. absolutely love it. sorry about the ticket...

    Audio on the bike

    i buy 12 sets of KOSS earbuds when they're on woot.com for a cheap price (usually $4/pair free shipping) and just toss them if/when they get nasty. they're noise cancelling, fit well, and have very nice bass response. as far as mission control, just a HTC (tmobile) G2 running cyanogenmod...

    Honda DN-01

    before you judge it, ride it... they are very well composed, very smooth running, very nicely made machines. honda knows a thing or two about kickass bikes. :)))

    What causes cupping?

    i'd really like to see some pictures of your handlebars and guards, not to mention whole bike. this is the bestest long winded description of different types of tire wear i've ever found. hope you have a minute or 20 to read it. Motorcycle Tire Wear good stuff ! :)

    Tank Slapper!!

    my understanding is that allowing the rear (engine and brake) to slow and center the bike is prefered. sure, the last 10mph aren't realy applicable on the fz, but from higher speeds, its very helpful. try out stopping on loose surfaces on a bike you can drop and not worry about. the engine...

    Tank Slapper!!

    rolling without the engine and transmission engaged is bad, unsafe, unwise. there is no power if you need it, no engine braking if you need it, and very little speed control. msf should have taught you to always be in gear both bike and body.

    Tank Slapper!!

    i'm glad you posted the video, we can all learn from the mistakes and be safer because of it: 1) the light was a 3 second or less amber. in my neck of the woods that's a 30-35 MPH zone, not to mention surface streets- you were flying. i'm guessing 50-55MPH. 2) you're right, stopping on...

    Dashcam of fatal motorcycle chase, biker crashes into cop car

    agreed - there is absolutely NO NEED in chasing a suspect on a motorcycle. all he can do is crash, or cause innocent motorists to crash. car chases are just as deadly and unneeded. gather the information, and then do real police work and track the person down. nab them at work, or walking to...

    Chain "cracking" under load/take-off

    +1 on new chain n cogs, both cogs. you can look at it (warm) and see if any of the links are sticking or resistive to change. also, pull from the rear of the rear cog and see how much slack there is between the chain and the cog. i'll bet you see a bunch. ALIGNMENT!!! the chain could...

    VERY low mileage 2008 - Value?

    nothing on that bike is 'new', or like 'new'. it's used. period. sure, it has very few miles, but there is no reason to trust that one more than a bike that has 35,000 miles on it. in fact, there is reason to DISTRUST that lower milage bike as it's unproven yet, and hasn't seen one single...
