    What would you choose?

    there are only a few bikes that make me really look. - fz1 - for the obvious reasons. but i think if i really had the choice i'd stick with the 6 for gas reasons. - buell xb12scg - sadly not made anymore. dang you harley! - street triple - never ridden one but i love everything i see out...

    looking for parts

    a lot of people on here tend to check out ron ayers. and as you know, ebay can often be a good place to check. also, post in the "wanted" section. there are guys who go naked every now and then and need to get rid of their fairings.

    hot butt

    thanks for the lesson. always interested in learning. :thumbup: i would have thought simply by the fact that you now have two pipes with more surface area for air to hit that they would remain cooler as well. guess i should have been more clear in my first response. i was mainly meaning...

    hot butt

    i'd take that post with a grain of salt. it might be true, but in my 2 or so years here, and all the reading i've done on this forum, that's the first that i've read of someone stating what people on this forum prefer in the way of an exhaust. and i've never heard someone mention taking out...

    Quick Newb Question.

    i have nothing to add other than to say... sorry to hear about that. i'm assuming you're ok since you didn't go into any details about your injuries.

    the deal that could have been...

    yeah, i'm continuing to look around. i'm in no hurry though. i just wish i would have started looking a little sooner. i would have been able to sell off everything i didn't need and come out ahead if i would have seen that post when he still had it all. oh well. just wish the guy would...

    the deal that could have been...

    a few weeks ago i posted that i realized that because of finances i'd be keeping the fz6 for a long time. i won't be doing any fun mods (again because of finances) but i have wondered about doing things like upgrading the front end and such. so i've recently been shopping around for a set of...

    What is the license procedure where you live?

    some of y'all's states are crazy. i think it's pretty simple here in north carolina. 1 and 2a/2b in no particular order 1 - written test at DMV. if done first this gives you your learners permit. restrictions are no passengers and you can't leave the state. to the best of my knowledge you...

    New bike...lots of shame...and fear

    hmmm. that's interesting. mine could also be different because i took the "riders edge" course through the harley dealership because i could get in in two weeks verses 2.5 months. but i think it's the same material.

    Michelin Pilot Road 3 are here!!!!!!

    you can. you can do it without some sort of tire changer but i've never tried that route. you can also get a tire changing machine (which is what i did). they're pretty expensive but worth it in the long run. i don't have time to find it, but there's at least one really good thread with...

    New bike...lots of shame...and fear

    the class will start with friday being a lot of book/video work. you'll be presented situations and told to think through them. going back to erci's comment about how you can't ride a bike like you drive a car... this will even change the way you drive. saturday you'll start off on the...

    New bike...lots of shame...and fear

    there are plenty of people that ride with no license at all. again, licensing is different for each state. specifically the learners permit is different from state to state. when i got mine in nc i asked what my restrictions were. i was told that i couldn't carry a passenger and i couldn't...

    what do you do to keep your hands and feet dry

    that's where i've been leaning. what have you found as far as sizing? new enough says to pick a size smaller than you wear unless it's for gauntlet gloves, in which case you pick the size of the glove. what have you found from experience?
