    before the FZ there was the RZ- and I bought one to restore

    I've always wanted to ride a 2 stroke street bike. Only ridden 2stroke dirt and 3/4 wheelers. Looks light too! whats that thing weigh, and hows it pull when its on the pipe?

    Witnessed a crash - shaken up

    watched a riding buddy go down at 120ish. He survived but it was pretty bad. He panic braked too. It wouldn't quite as bad but it was a high side and after what looked like two good tumbles his bike caught up to him, and his right leg got tangled in it and then they started tumbling together...

    chain sling off

    Also, I wanted to note that I didn't realize how truly dirty and gummed up my chain was from the sticky lube products, and as a result the efficiency lost in my driveline. As previously mentioned I went way over what I usually do to clean my chain, then used the dupont. Clutched in and...

    chain sling off

    Thanks for all the replies......went with the dupont teflon chain saver and definitely like it. I spent much more time than normal cleaning my chain this time, and I believe that most of my issue wasn't the product, but the WD40. I paid great attention to detail while cleaning and even...

    chain sling off

    I touched on it on another thread, but thought I would start one just for it since that one died off. I have a terrible problem with chain sling off. No problem cleaning it off, but the process does suck and I would like to find a better way so that I'm not always cleaning it off. One...

    New Bike!

    nice! I wish you were selling that seat cowl off your old bike :( It would be an insanely hard choice for me if I were buying a new bike right now, between the fz1, z1k, and speed3. One thing about the z1k that kind of turns me off, and I know it will seem petty, but dang all the controls...

    Need a new helmet

    I have an exo-1000 mentioned and the drop down sun visor is handy......at first, but that helmet has grown on my bad side. Its heavy and noisy, and compared to my Bell it isn't nearly as comfortable. LOVE my Bell. I don't have one myself, but as also mentioned Bell makes a transition...

    What is it with people

    the "riding will kill you!" ones are usually the ones that rear end some poor old lady at a stop light because they were facebooking and driving

    So, who hunts?

    I can't speak for him, but I like 'em fried.....or fried then smothered in onions and gravy and cooked down until the meat is falling off the bone and served over rice or big old cat head biscuits :thumbup:

    Washing the gunk off

    I use PJ1....I think it is the blue label, I'll have to look when I get home.....but I know it is PJ1. My chain cleaning/lubing ritual goes like this.....clean chain thoroughly with wd-40 and let dry. Ride bike a few miles to make sure the wd-40 is out/chain is dry. As soon as I stop the...

    So, who hunts?

    you can pluck and clean and make it just like a store bought, but 90% of the good meat on the bird is the breast. Most just filet it off the breast bone, but I like to get some of the dark meat out too. Of course plucking is a chore, the easiest way is to flip the bird on its back and its...

    What would you do with a nail in your rear?

    the title made me LOL.....must....not.....make......jokes... :BLAA: not sure what advice to give you on whether to plug or patch though

    What happens when the rear tire loses traction...

    why did the dude on the motard put his leg down? it wasn't a reaction to the rear slipping because he put it down before it slipped? just because it looks like a dirt bike, doesn't mean he's in the dirt :confused:

    So, who hunts?

    raises hand :thumbup: I spend about 25 days in the woods during spring turkey season, a couple mornings in the fall killing a mess of squirrels, and drag my bow in the woods for archery deer season.....and a day here and there during rifle season.

    ban saw+ windscreen= not good

    i cut a spare (or two) :( with a dremel with no issues...... but I can tell you from my experience that I never saw any improvement in turbulence with any cut, even with wide slits cut to let the air vent in. I only cut an inch or two at a time until I was WAY down, and if there was any...
