Go Vale!!!!!!! Go Marco!!!!!!! Go Andrea (Iannone)!!!!!!! Go Simone!!!!!!! :)

Holy ****. I run these on my VFR and had some fun in the twisties the other day and I loved how they handled but wtf is this?!?! I'll be extra careful when the temps climb up around here too. Call Michelin for sure.

OP: thanks for that - that was awesome! And many speculate BMW maybe one of those new teams :) Hopefully they are right

Watch Twist of the Wrist II - DVD. Reading all those riding books would be very beneficial too but I honestly think this DVD is a great and very efficient tool to get a good grasp of the basics in no time. In a nutshell, this just takes what they taught you in MSF a step further. Yes, you...

Well I know you can't really tell but most of those turns were limited to 25-35mph and I was doing double that most of the time so I'd rather shift my body rather than relying on the grip that my sport touring tires provide (Michelin power road 3s - I LOVE THEM). I did get my knee down a couple...

Honestly, as much as I hate it when cagers are not paying attention, the guy on the bike got in the way of the car. If it was me doing this turn I would have crossed the lanes the same way the biker did but I would have stopped right in front of the crosswalk and I would have waited for the...

No sir! I know the jeans are very frowned upon but I'm pretty well geared otherwise. I use my knee/shin guards as knee pucks for now till I find a pair of leather pants that fit my long legs (I'm 6'6") and don't impede my movement on the bike. As I said earlier, my 1-piece is just too...

I LOVE the V1. I never ever go out without. I've had it for a few months now and it's already paid for itself multiple times :rockon: I made a detailed thread on another board about how I mounted it: The 2 mods I did to my bike this season :) - Sportbikes.net Hope it helps :cheer: Yeah...

Yeah I think I'll finally invest in some comfortable riding pants. I was thinking to start wearing my 1-piece on the street whenever I plan to go for a spirited ride but the damn thing doesn't fit me too well so I avoid wearing it unless I'm @ the track :/ When I was taking the measurements for...

I pass where it's safe to do so. Couldn't care less what the markings are. I can show you countless spots on my local roads where it's ok to pass from legal perspective but I would never do it because it's unsafe (not enough visibility + driveway and side streets) and I can also show you...

I'm glad you made it out relatively ok and I hope the stupid rat with horns is dead and rots in hell. I hate deer ... So what bike are you getting next? :)

The FZ was my first bike too. I'm not saying I ever pushed that thing to its limits before a blind cager took it away from me but I thought the power was very manageable. If I were you I'd ride it for a week or two, put a few thousand miles on it and see how you feel. Just take it slow and don't...

Glad you guys enjoyed it! Well, to me it feels very similar to the powerband on any other motorcycle. The VFR pulls very gently below 7500 rpm but once it goes above that it pulls pretty hard if you give it some gas. To me the V4 engine on the VFR feels like a mix between a twin and an I4...

Lol. Don't wanna be an ******* but forget about the tiny little scratch and focus on riding the wheels off that thing! :) P.S. Just read your update - you've got a great brother indeed. My advice still applies tho :)

Well I don't have my FZ any more so I figured this vid doesn't belong in the FZ6 videos forum so here it is in here :) YouTube - ‪Sunday ride‬‏ I know most of you prefer the original sound but for some reason my go pro didn't record any sound in all the vids from today. It's either busted...

Yeap. I wear all this stuff 100% of the time. I feel naked without it. I don't know why but the lack of riding pants never really bothers me.

Guilty of riding in jeans ... I wear boots, knee and shin guards, back protector, gloves, jacket and a helmet. Only thing I never wear are riding pants and I know I'll bitterly regret this sooner or later.

It's not that I'm more aggressive - it's just that 100mph seems like absolutely normal cruising speed and the corners are just never tight enough to justify going slower than double the speed limit (when there are no people around) :)

The one thing that bothers me about the rain is that I'm basically blind. I can't see anything through my helmet.

Yeap. On regular basis at that. Hahah and +1 on the pat on the bike after a good ride!!! I always tell her I had fun and pat her tank and can't help but smile as I do it :) I love my bike!!!
