Thanks for posting those photos Steve. I like to see some photos of riders and scenery in Europe.

We are all thankful that you are still here with us. Take care of yourself. Think positive thoughts.

Thanks for the long-term report on these. My new '09 BMW came with the Conti Attacks and I have no experience with them. Previous BMW came with Michelin Pilot Roads and, based on my good experience with these, I put them on my FZ. So I was a little unsure about BMW's decision to switch to...

Some guys just love to stir it up.

Gosh! Really? Thanks for pointing that out. I'll add 5 more miles to my long run this weekend and make an appt for a boob job and butt lift STAT. Don't you wish YOUR granny look like this?

Michael, now I know who to come to when I get stumped trying for a "look" or effect in PhotoShop. Thanks! I learned a couple of things from your post. I'm retired, but continue to do graphic design work, mostly gratis for non-profit groups and organizations, plus some consulting work for a...

No option, it comes standard on the "Custom" model, like the 883C or the 1200C.

I can speak to a few of your choices, since I have ridden some of them. If you like the relaxed, feet-in-front-of-you riding position, the Sportster is actually not a bad choice. A rider placed in the top ten in the Iron Butt Rally last year (11,000 miles in 11 days) on a Sportster so don't...

It all depends on your build and your butt, my friend. I have ridden multiple long days on the FZ (600-800 mile multiple back-to-back days) and can say that for MY particular butt, the stock seat is miserably hard, and the Yamaha comfort gel seat is even more miserably hard. Both create two...

No, my FZ has not been lowered. It's been made even taller by the Corbin saddle I recently bought for it. I've been riding tall bikes for a few years now (also ride BMW's) so have just learned to work around it. When I come to a stop, I slide slightly to the left, tip the bike slightly, and...

I've purchased 7 motorcycles over the years and at no time did I have to submit to a strip search to determine my gender in order to qualify, nor did I have to do so to earn my M endorsement on my license. I've put 160,000 miles on those motorcycles, none of them commuter miles, all of them on...

There is no mistaking the fact that I am a female rider (based on my size and shape) and very often will get thumbs-up signs from guys driving cars; sometimes they'll accidently start drifting into my lane as they "check me out," which is definitely not so cool. I posted a story here...

Thank you!!! I see more men drag their feet through parking lots and duck-walk their bikes than I do women.

Well, the solution to that is to ride with them more, not less. They may just need more riding experience and coaching.

It's a tough job but someone has to do it. Glad to hear you're the one.

Nope, I do, at 5'3", 115 lb. Plus, my FZ is red.

Most excellent idea! My submissions for the slide show:

Re: My christmas list Santa came early to my house. I'd better not ask him for anything else: My brand new 2009 BMW R1200R. Ordered it last July, it arrived at dealer last week.

That is a great looking motorcycle! I agree with the others...the exhaust is really sharp looking.

I do it too, just ever so slightly, and not just on the FZ6. Don't know why and, like you, I've tried to consciously realign myself, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm comfortable, and it doesn't disrupt anything, so I don't let it bother me.
