    Loud exhaust saves lives. Really?

    My experience has been that at slow speeds (1 to about 20 mph) when lane sharing people in front will hear me and move over. This almost never happened with the stock exhaust. At speed I would never rely on my exhaust to get me noticed that is what the horn and defensive riding are for. Now...

    "Carmageddon" So. Cal I-405 Closure

    It's not gonna be as big a deal as they are making it out to be. I live less than a mile from the 405 in the shutdown section on Sunset BLVD one of the major streets that cross the 405. I deal with this project everyday and it is not nearly as bad as they made it out to be when they started it...

    06' fz6 random die at stop and slight incline.

    I know I had a stalling issue with my old 04 FZ. I had done the TPS recall and after that it always read in the correct range and did not skip values when I would test it. However my bike after it warmed up would regularly drop the idle rpms from ~1260 to as low as ~650 then stall when I would...
