I hate to admit this, but when I was young, my buddy and I would get drunk then go out riding at night. Always fast and with no caution. I don't know how I am alive today after that behavior. Stupidity, lack of concern for others, and the ever-present belief of invincibility when you are at...

This is true. I joined a grape picking crew in the vineyards once just for the experience. We started at first light. I worked my *** off to keep up with these men and women. They get paid by the amount they pick, so most of the crews decide not to take breaks so they can pick more tonnage...

Someone on a ride recently pointed out to me that my bars were mounted quite a bit more toward the tank that on their FZ6s. It is the way that the dealership mounted it. I moved the bars up (rotated toward the front of the bike). This made an amazing difference to me in how comfortable...

That all depends on why you buy the cans. The FZ6 has plenty of power for me. I'm just looking for more noise. So does the PC with no cans give you that? No, I didn't think so :Flip:

I think the general consensus (based on my own search for this answer) is that if you remove the cat then it is more necessary than if you only replace the cans. High flow air filter or air box mod also suggests need for PC. Just replacing the cans should not effect things so greatly that...

Yes, I have noticed the bouncing, and riders behind me have pointed it out to me. One of the guys on my last ride suggested I drill a small hole in the front part of the license plate light housing so that I can zip tie the bottom of the black plastic piece to it. This should help stabilize...

Thanks to cyclone I have a nice picture of me on my bike :Flash:

What kind of bees make milk.................. Boo Bees :p

Hang in there. Sorry it happened. :(

Words to live by my friend! :thumbup:

LOL! When I was in college, I worked in a lab and had to go in on a Saturday to collect some E.Coli cultures I was cloning DNA in. Spin them down, lyse them for DNA extraction. Well I was really hung over! I kept having to run to the bathroom to puke every 5 min. because the smell would...

I think the logic is solid - except for the fact that for some reason, everybody is riding cruisers now that weigh more than a super tanker. I used to ride a Kawi Vulcan 750cc (it had plenty of spunk) and I don't understand why the jap cruisers are all 1300 & 1500 cc now. Not to mention what...

This is a great bike to own! It will be forgiving to a new rider. It will satisfy a veteran rider. What more do you want? Hope you make it happen. People constantly ask me "How fast does that bike go?" I always reply "As fast as I want it to!" ;)

Yep, just plugs in. There are some pictures somewhere in this thread.

I have never tried speed shifting, I know it can be done. I just have this bad dream in my head about trying it for the first time, and breaking teeth off of a gear or something :eek:

Interestingly, I just checked my chain last night, 3,100+ miles on the bike and the chain has just stretched outside of the 55 mm tolerance for chain slack. I don't have the right tools to tighten it, and am short on time, so I called a local mom&pop that is on the way home from work (been in...

Yeah, Shaggy is right! If my bread and butter season at work wasn't starting now - I would take a week and ride out to KY from CA and pick-axe that pipe up till my hands bled. Like Shaggy said, as long as there was some beer at the end :D $1,800 is a hardship cash quantity. Asking for a...

If you PM me with your telephone number, I will idle and red line my bike over the phone for you, so you can hear the Scorpion exhaust. Offer stands for anyone, as long as you live in the US (sorry others, my cell phone minutes don't count outside of the US). I will of course choose a...

It's really hard to find good neighbors in some areas......;)
