    OFF OFFF Off topic; making a 79 F350 stop. Brake Booster???

    Any chance you could add a Hydroboost? My 2004 Tahoe came with a Hydroboost which mounts on your firewall. The master cylinder then mounts on the front face of the Hydroboost. A pressure and return line are connected to the power steering pump which provides substantially increased...

    Nice looking countryside! What's the approximate elevation?

    New Motorcycle Accident Study Released

    I'm willing to bet that motorcycle fatalities will increase as some states are repealing their helmet laws.

    Poor MPG: Things are not always as they appear to be...

    Great info! I'm getting ready to replace my sparkplugs and I was considering going the Iridium route. I think I'll just stick with the standard Copper plugs when I do the swap.

    Young squid taken out by a deer. Funny but sad

    Wow... what a puss! I clearly remember yelling "sonofabitch" and quite a few "mother$%&@#$%" when I hit a Turkey back in the Summer of 2010. I didn't go down after the hit, but I sure was pissed off! I certainly didn't scream "help, help, help" at the top of my lungs.

    The Dangers of Discount Taxidermy

    I would be seriously pissed off if I flew to Africa and spent at least $15,000 for a safari to come home and have the trophy animal destroyed with a botched taxidermy job. I guess you get what you pay for.

    Ask A Motorcycle thief

    I appreciate that thief's honesty, but I'd like to punch him in the throat if I ever met him in person. His advice is sound, and it makes me very thankful that I live out in the country and keep my bike in the garage here at the house.

    Would you give it up

    The cash alone wouldn't make me quit riding. I'm a cop and my wife is an ER nurse. I understand the dangers and try to protect myself accordingly. I'm an ATGATT rider and have taken the MSF classes to improve my riding. My parents don't like the idea of me having a bike, but they do...

    My battery suddenly become less power

    Sounds like a bad battery to me. Charge the battery and then put it on a load tester once the charging is done. The load test will determine how many CCA (cold cranking amps) the battery is able to produce while under a load. The battery is likely weak and has just enough residual juice...

    anyone serviced/changed the oil for the rear shock

    I don't think the rear shock from the FZ6 is a serviceable unit. I've looked at mine a few times and it appears to be gas charged and sealed.

    Oh No!!!

    Yeah... it was called Poseidon. I think the script was written by a group of Chimps.

    Oh No!!!

    Hopefully the Titanic II will have a double hull that extends higher than the waterline.

    Proud New Owner of a 2004 FZ6 I need Help!

    I used to have a 2003 Yamaha XT 225 that I foolishly sold to help pay for my 2008 FZ6. It was cheap to insure and got 65-70 mpg no matter how I rode it. I still miss that XT and would buy another one if the opportunity presented itself.

    power thirst!

    In the bass boat community, guys used to buy 200 hp outboards and slap a 150 decal on the cowling to remain legal in certain tournaments. Most guys could explain the extra speed by saying they've spent countless hours setting up their hulls, blueprinting the propeller and running light on...

    power thirst!

    When I clicked on your post, I thought this was the Power Thirst you were talking about:rof: Careful... NSFW!!! Powerthirst - YouTube To answer your question, I think the R1 motor likely WILL NOT bolt directly to the FZ6 frame. If memory serves me correctly, the 1000 cc motor is bigger and...

    Question for our law enforcement members!!!!

    Yes... you can, and should report reckless driving behavior to law enforcement. Not sure about Florida laws, but here in Michigan, the LEO must witness the violation to issue a citation. We've dealt with people in the past who have video recorded and taken photos of said violations...

    Minor speeding (probably a re-post)

    Wow... talk about the willful and wanton disregard to his safety and everyone around him.
