    Honda 919

    I sat on a Buell once and had the same sensation that my face was sitting directly over the front wheel. Made me feel like I was going to go over the bars really easily! I am 6' 1" but didn't really think it was my height but rather the very short wheel base that caused this feeling. It...

    Not sure what to make of it.......

    It wasn't organized on this forum. pchbreeze mentioned it here though and posted a link to the sbn forum where it was planned. I think some of them are planning to ride again this weekend, is that right pch?

    Is your FZ6 Perfect?

    Thanks, it's taking much longer to recover than the doctor told me it would. I have the use of both, but can put no real pressure or effort with them. The worst part is twisting. When I rotate my hands, that seems to have the least desirable sensation. I am sure riding doesn't help the...

    Anyone ever seen or used this website?

    I have not shopped there. For I have no hair! (or very little anyway) :p But I have looked also, they seem to have quite a few nice bodywork pieces for the FZ6.

    Not sure what to make of it.......

    Well, it wasn't me that did the video. I think Wavex (the author/director/producer/editor) checks this board occasionally so maybe he will answer. I think it was a sony digital camcorder but I don't know the model. One cool thing is that he made a camera mount that bolts into the gas cap...

    Not sure what to make of it.......

    I think it's a GPS unit. His naked conversion looks really good. And I agree, he has excellent video production skills. Oh yeah, he's a really nice guy too. Met pchbreeze too, also a very nice guy! I think the FZ6 must just attract good people. Haven't met an owner yet that I...

    Is your FZ6 Perfect?

    I have damaged the tendons in both wrists saving my bike from it's attempts to fall at little or no speed in both directions on two separate occassions. Unfortunately they seem to be taking an extremely long time to heal. Guess that's what happens when you're not as young as shaggystyle...

    New Guy

    That stuff is scary. I was travelling through Arizona once in July and experienced this type of rain. There was a semi upside down in the dirt space between the two direction of highway. There was a trench maybe a couple hundred yards long that it had dug up to it's resting spot. The driver...

    Do You Like To Ride With Others?

    Well, it is my answer. The question mark implies that others may disagree. I figure why hurry up and get somewhere, you then have to get off of the bike. The whole point of owning the bike is to enjoy the ride as opposed to reaching the destination. Pretty much the same concept as the...

    Do You Like To Ride With Others?

    Yes. The journey is the reward, right? :Sport:

    Gearing It Deep

    No, it was not a sat nav thingy (I'm way too cheap to buy one of those :p) this was one of those trailers they set up, it has radar on it and displays the clocked speed as you pass by. But the same question applies. I have no way of knowing if their equipment is accurate.

    Gearing It Deep

    I rode past a Highway Patrol radar trailer on Sat. My speedo said 83, it said 73. I can tell it's off considerably at these speeds just based on the flow of traffic. This could be different of course on the european models.

    Frame Sliders "How To"

    I think I paid something like $70 for these same Uncaged sliders. That's with tax and shipping. Oh yeah and these black ones are a little more expensive than the silver.

    How much safety gear do you wear?

    I have to say, as dumb as this guy is, at least he was wearing a helmet! Really though, I think he deserved to lose a lot more skin than he did :Im With Stupid:
