    Gsxs1000 vs s1000r

    I've narrowed down my next bike purchase to either the BMW S1000R or Suzuki GSXS1000. I've been set on the BMW since it was released but I'm starting to have some reservations. I'm actually starting to think the GSXS1000 might be better than the S1000R. The differences are seemingly minor...

    MotoGP Sepang 2015 - Rossi vs Marquez

    “To be honest I just hear the decision and I don't think it is a good decision, because he take out Marc and Marc crash and get zero points, but Valentino keeps 16 points,” “I think it is unfair and maybe because [of] his name, he can get no points [deducted] this time. I saw [the incident]...

    MotoGP Sepang 2015 - Rossi vs Marquez

    I think Rossi messed up, but Marquez didn't have to crash. Crashing out was MM93's own damn fault. Rossi basically gave him three options, 1.) run off into the weeds, 2.) slow down and fall back a bit, or 3.) crash. Marquez ego picked #3. Not saying what Rossi did was correct, but clearly...

    100,000 miles fz6

    I see, I do about 15,000 miles by car every year, plus 7,000 or so on my bike. My commute is just as long as yours, I just can't handle sitting on the bike on the highway. It's not fun for me.

    My first track day

    I don't think so, however, it helps me to gauge my lean angle when my knee hits the ground. I usually touch my knee to the ground and then bring my knee a little closer to the bike and lean in some more.

    Bought a New Bike!

    I just follow the maintenance schedules and also replace things when they're wearing out. I don't wait for **** to break before I replace or fix it.

    FZ6 Puig Fly Screen (FZ6-N)

    Yup same with mine! It's hard to say if the S2 screen would fit the S1 though. It would be close so you would have to just try.

    Bought a New Bike!

    1998 Grand Prix GT 1991 Silverado 1500 2006 Cobalt All have easily hit 200,000 miles with far fewer repairs than my Civic required to hit 175,000 miles. Silverado is at almost 300,000 miles right now and we traded in the Grand Prix at 250,000 miles while it was still running like a champ.

    FZ6 Rearset Set Back Plates For Sale

    Man... I'm loving your setup. I have this nasty bend in my shift linkage right now. I may have to go your route. You can see it in this photo, I don't even have the proper 90 degree angle where it attaches to transmission rod thing.

    Did you buy new? If so I'm curious what you did for break-in.
