    Most dangerous/stupid thing you've EVER done on a motorcycle?? Be honest....

    Fz6 gone, Hello M109R

    Only thing I would caution you on is not to expect the M109 to handle as well as the FZ6. That huge rear tire and overall weight and bulk make it unsuitable for aggressive riding in the twisties, and less likely recoverable if it gets "crossed-up" on you. Ride safe, have fun, just take a little...

    Full Faced Helmet

    I bought a new FF helmet,ride with visor down at speed, open when going slow. I hate wearing them,but after a freind went down wearing my Bell FF and I saw the damage to the front of it I know they will offer best protection. My Bell was trashed, but did it's job.
