No, I don't have it in me. And really, I'm a big steaming pile of contradictions. I almost always use the term "ride" to describe what I do on my bike. Well said. And it got me thinking. There really are countless bikes out there that are better for the beginner. The FZ6 surely isn't the...

Looks good, man. Will you be road-ready Sunday? I know you'll be on call... maybe a local ride is in order?

I drive mine.. or least operate it. "Riding" is too passive a word. But, to get back on point here, I think the FZ6 has the potential to be a great first bike. It really depends on the individual's maturity level. A mid-weight, mid-power bike like this demands respect, but if operated...

Call a few experts. See what they say. I wouldn't let a few nay-sayers kill the Idea before it's even fully explored. Sure there are reasons not to do it. There are countless reasons not to do a lot of the $hit we do, but we do these things because they're different, fun, interesting...

I've daydreamed about it myself and would love to see somebody pursue it. I'd start with a DIY hack book. (Not that I can find one...)

Now, that is a fine question. I've never loaded them to capacity with beer alone so I don't know for sure, but I'd say at least a case of cans per side.

1. Riding it (except when the roads are too icy) 2. Working on some simple electrical mods now ---adding a power outlet and other connections ---hoping to do the dual headlight mod finally 3. Getting Givi racks for the temporary mounting of some ammo cases (aka: cheap side cases Here are the...

Yep. Twice I've stalled with people behind me because I failed to downshift out of 3rd or 4th. You end up feeling like such a dope. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah... Goop. That's the kind of thing I'm picturing. You could actually try a strip of tape (even masking tape) just for testing purposes. If the smooth surface suits you then you could apply Goop or some other adhesive/coating.

I might actually have something to add. Is the problem that the new, short (and therefore stiff) hairs are getting caught in the weave of the strap? If so then you need a material with a very tight "weave" or no weave at all, right? What about sealing the strap where it touches your...

Yes, I do believe you nailed it. Wow. That's rough.

Just picture the opposite of these guys

Oh c'mon. ADV bikes should be ugly. It's not a beauty contest. It's a travel the world contest. I dig it. Though on the whole, 1200 adventure bikes are too tall and heavy for my taste. I like the mid-weights. :thumbup:

Nice vid. Looks like an incredible location!

Hey. Sorry about your wreck. Hope you heal up quickly so we can ride. Where did it happen? 33? Not to kick man while he's down, but.. It's ATGATT not SoTGSoTT (Some of the gear some of the time.) Like Eric said it's black and white -- No gray area. As several others have said, get...

Wow. That's good to hear. Maybe I won't tear apart the rear hub to check the bearing this weekend. (I mistakenly had the chain too tight for about 15 miles and worried that it damaged the bearings or something else.)

+1 Simple, effective and already in most people's toolbox.

Tried to PM. Your mailbox is chock full. PM me with your thoughts on a fair price. Thanks

This is mesmerizing. YouTube - (Sungha Jung) Waterfall - Sungha Jung Seriously. Put on the biggest headphones you have and give that a listen. Out-friggin-standing song. It's a journey.

Thanks all! -I always cover the bike - year 'round. -That's cool about plugging the charger in to the powerlet. Makes perfect sense.. I just never thought about It before. -I am mounting the fuse block under the seat.. Nice and accessible. -I already planned on using the method that...
