With practice, it's possible to ride as good, or if not better than the cops! I'm not the one who's hitting the cones, I might have clipped one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaW0DyhgI0Y

Don't forget to hit the Old Spiral Hwy right outside of Lewiston. And you will love the Rattlesnake Grade between Enterprise Or and Lewiston Id. You should check out the Hells Canyon View Pt. if time allows, it's just a 2-3 mile detour off Hwy 3 on the way up to Lewiston. You should see the...

Ha! I was going to post the video but you beat me to it. Just illustrates that if you want to be proficient and excell in all areas of riding a motorcycle, it takes continued practice on a regular basis. This is a life saving skill, so it's important to maintain the highest level. Don't forget...

Yup, but I still have mine!

As Monica mentioned pre plan your fuel stops is a great idea but it's more important for us out west than the region you'll be in. A camelback that you start off freezing the night before is a great thing to have. Allows you to enjoy sipping ice cold water while you ride and keeps you hydrated...

Re: What Octane gas do you use? // w details as to why! Been running on regular 87 octane for 100k miles, no reason to change to premium. Just think how much money I have saved. I'm at 4500 feet and can reach up to 9000 feet on my rides.

Yup, after a long day in the saddle, the last thing I want to do is have to ride in order to eat. The only thing that would be worse is to get supplies and then cook, then clean up.

Why not just get the latest and greatest from Uclear. They have the best sounding bass Bluetooth helmet speakers in the industry now. Get a Ram Mount X Grip And then use a tank bag to store a Camelback. Although they are designed to be worn like a backpack since it allows you to drink while...

Sweet! You have room in your garage for both bikes? No excuse now, you must now head west and see what we have to offer in terms of twisties.

Congrats. I think the FZ6R is the perfect bike for a new rider. The tires look like they are the originals. Check and see if you can find a four digit date stamp. I know you're itching to get on the bike and ride it. Bad idea though. Stay disciplined.

How many miles on the bike? How old are the tires, are they still the stock tires? If yes they need to be replaced, 7 plus year tires are just flat out dangerous. Great attitude on your safety gear. The MSF requirements for you to take the class is very minimal as they don't want students to...

Yes, from about 40 mph max but on dry pavement. The instructor took out his laser gun to make sure we were at speed. LOL. He just wanted to make sure we were all capable of using both brakes and can stop within a reasonable distance. They are always surprised how many riders have very poor...

Don't be in a rush to purchase a bike, it should be the very last thing in terms of priority for a new rider. Save your money! Chances are, you will be wasting it. Start off by successfully completing your MSF Basic and earn your M endorsement. Purchase additional safety gear and then you...

I may not be a cop, but I can sure ride like one. The local Sheriff's Motors Unit offered an advanced Motor's class to us civilians. One day, 8 hours, mostly riding around a bunch of cones. The same patterns and dimensions that the officers must get certified in order for them to ride...

The fact that you've now been riding for almost 7 seasons in Long Island speaks for itself. LI, and the New York Burroughs and the entire NE region is a very challenging area to ride. So congested and the surface conditions are not the best. You might consider filming your rides. I recently...

Well if it makes you feel any better, I just stalled my bike after the light turned green after stopping for a red light, and I have 105,000 miles on my Fizzer. To be fair, I have been riding my Duc most of the time so I simply forgot how short that friction zone was.

So your fan is kicking in automatically?

Great. You just made me roll out the FZ out this morning, rode it to work. It's so small. Lol

My peg feelers have either worn down or broken off. I don't think it will cause you to crash but it is a good indicator where you're at as far a lean angle. Until you start dragging knee on a consistent basis, in my opinion I don't mind having them. Or at least had them in my case. I have...

I'm sitting just shy of 105k miles
