Looks Great! Did you do the FE mod yourself?

I am honestly sorry. I did not mean to offend or leave anyone out. I really wanted to see if my head was really as much of a problem to fit as the shops are leading me to believe. You know how these dealerships and bike shops are. Every shop wants me to believe that I am special and therefore...

I have actually hit a big stone in a really sharp turn one time. It was really odd. I had just cranked my shock from 3 to 5 as well so it was terrifying to have the back tire come off the ground for a split second. I have pondered this for a while now as to why I didn't go down. It happened so...

Welcome!!!!!

Most riders I know that buy from this company ride cruisers but my first helmet was a Fulmer Modus. It is a modular helmet which seems to turn a lot of people off but now that I am borrowing a KBC full face regular helmet I really miss being able to flip the front up. My Fulmer was matte black...

I wish I had people to ride with period! My neighbor has a cruiser and we have been riding together a few times but because of work schedules it has only been at night. Happy to see you are riding. Have fun, congratulations, and stay safe.

I meant to mention in my poll but I am wondering about the reality of the widely known saying of " Throw away a helmet after it has hit the ground in an accident no matter how hard." Many of you saw some of my pictures of my leg after my wreck but that is healing. If not feel free to check them...

I have a HUGE noggin and I am trying to find a new helmet as I hit my head when I wrecked my bike. I know there are a lot of helmet threads but no one lists the size they are wearing. GEICO is paying for it so cost does not matter. I have tried on every full faced and nodular helmet at...

I have not had anyone trying to take the exit at the last second! Thank you! I never really thought about it- I know, sounds like I am pretty dumb but it just never occurred to me. I got out today and went riding in Memorial Day traffic and it was a blast but man I REALLY had to keep on my toes-...

Exactly! Separation! What I meant was this- have you ever noticed that in traffic on the interstate (not bumper to bumper) but just lots of traffic everyone kinda going the same speed? There always seems to be a big pack of traffic maybe held up by a truck or slow drivers and then for a...

I was starting to clean my chain and lube it up and I saw these things. The last time I remember seeing one it was leaking coolant as I was bleeding and surrounded by police officers, firemen, and EMT's. The cops were picking up my bike when it started spilling it's green blood. Overflow...

Yes!!! Geico told the dealership to go Fthemselves with their crazy estimate totaling my bike and found a specialty shop to do the work. Go Go Geico! They are even buying me a new helmet. No cost limits!!!!!

I think it is the stock windshield. I do know that they put some parts on the bike that are FZ6 specific but were 06' models and even a couple of 08' model parts in order to save money. The place that did it didn't void the warranty and did it for $2000 less than the dealership.

Thanks Nelly. I actually am more careful on both highways and roadways now. I am over cautious when I am in the city and stay about 3 car lanes back which pisses people off but the area I live in is filled with lots of hills and turns and we are a " tree city " so in the spring you cannot see...

That has got to be the best one I have seen yet. I looked and looked at what others had done when I broke my bike because it may have been cheaper to go naked tham having to buy a whole new front but I didn't like most of what I saw- that thing is awesome. How in the world can you stand being...

I have been back on the bike now for a little while but I am finally back on it full time. The injuries to my knee and leg made it so it hurt and caused swelling whenever I rode my bike! It is weird but my bike seems to ride better now that it has been fixed. The mechanics did an awesome job and...

What is your rpm when idling?

I would have broken my ankle if it had not already been broken before and had lots of titanium in it. Motorcycle (pictures) I actually landed on my knee first I think. I have been laid up for a month now. I bruised my spleen, ribs, lung, and separated some cartilage in my ribs and did...

Warning a little graphic below This happened when my front wheel locked up @ 40 mph due to an over aggressive bit of braking on my part. I would rethink your ideas about knee protection.!!!!!

I agree with madmanmaigret and blue monday. I have a Moto GP mesh jacket with a removable liner in a nice blue that matches my bike. In the winter I just throw on a bottom layer of polypro/ a middle layer of cotton** thermal uppers, and my jacket. This year I rode in 19 degree weather and 75...
