Well, it has been fairly hot for this summer. One of the quick, easy things that I like to do is make smoothies. I just buy a bag of mixed fruit, through it in the mixer with some kind of milk/almond milk/rice milk and protein powder. Clean up is simple and the drink cools things off.:thumbup:

Was just doing it as a joke. Did the exact same thing for my rims, except I just used black magic marker.:D

I agree with the communication perspective that Lonesoldier speaks of. Also, see a lot of good experience and wisdom in what CanadianFZ6 is saying.

Just gotta do it............:D :needpics:

It is amazing to read this thread and see the evidence of how much good really IS in this world. So easy to see the negative side of life. This has been a breath of fresh air to witness people actually caring about someone else. Oldfast, you have already made a positive impact on me by simply...

That is very irritating...have had similar experiences. If there was space to spare, I would love to get something like this: No-Mar: Scratch Proof Wheel Locking System, Beats Coats 220 - Safe for Carbon Fiber Wheels.

Dude!!!!!!! We don't know the dynamics of the situation. When someone shares their heart in a traumatic setting for them, it is a general best practice not to go apesh#t about it. :eek:

Its not called whining, it is sharing what is on your heart. Takes courage to do that. Sometimes one door closes and another one opens up. Hope things start looking more positive to you soon. 24 years is a long time and will take a while to work through, emotionally. Never stop believing in...

Glad you did not wreck. Having had the FZ6 and now the FZ1, noticing very little difference in the ergonomics. I did try some simple risers with the FZ6 and did not have to change any cables. Everything stayed safe and functional. It made a little bit of difference in comfort which may be what...

Thanks for the thumbs up. I think if Yamaha would have stayed consistent with the silver for forks and rims (and the SAME color silver, unlike the two different gold colors) like on the radiator, rearsets and passenger foot brackets - it would have looked sweet. For some reason, I just don't...

Thanks Brenda. I really like your new avatar.:thumbup: Been using Ubuntu for a long while now. Going to try the new Mint 13. I hear it is a fantastic OS. Long live Linux! Wait, maybe you just like penguins. :eek:

There were minor blemishes and I am a very particular, or is it peculiar individual.:BLAA: The tail section had chips in the paint from little rocks thrown from the back tire, I suppose. The right hand fairing had a discolored spot about the size of half a dime under the handlebar area.

Pretty cool stuff.

I wonder if the 35 MPH sign was obeyed?:BLAA:

The link shows the work I did to it......over a period of two months. Had in pieces alot during that time.:D

Thx!......the tires feel drastically different from the diablo's. I will be curious to see how they hold up over time.

Thanks for the comp. You are right about the oil level......need to drain a little bit out. Good eye!

There were a few of those moments where I thought......man, hope I remember where all these screws and bolts go!:eek:

Happy to go for a spin today. Yamaha sure does make some fun bikes. Posted a link in the FZ1 forum: Graphite raptor is back together - Yamaha FZ1 Forums - International FZ1 Motorcycle Community Forum Here are some comparison pictures of the before and after:

If you can swing it, the Evotech is a very good quality FE. Had one on my FZ6 with the Leo's and it looked/functioned nicely. I bought another one for my FZ1 and was not disappointed.
