    Boise motorcyclist wins against dog owner

    Nice for rider to win on Judge Judy. However, sounds as riders were following too close to avoid collisions after SUV emergency stop. Next time, animal may not have an owner. I hate irresponsible pet owners.

    2014 start off in a crash

    1984: one doctor wanted to intervene, said I could never regain full usability on me knee w/o surgery (miniscus anterior). A second said to just work it off, wait for it to get better by itself, not mess with the integrity. I had to go with 2nd doctor's opinion (public assistance) but I'm...

    Isn't the Yamaha FZ6 a diesel engine anyway?

    replaced the clutch cable!

    Funny, I think you and I might have been on the same page regarding that clutch cable retainer business. I wound up leaving it disconnected because I didn't want to remove the airbox, etc., for necessary access to properly attach it around cable after my cable replacement. As you said, there's...

    You should also try mud wrestling with chicks. ;)

    Heated glove burns

    I wish my First Gear heated gloves would work so well. I always use the highest setting on the controller and kinda wish they would heat up still more...but not too much as yours! My best advice: move to SoCal

    .

    Keep in mind, if you are replacing and would have a shop doing the tire change, you can always keep the old tire, inside patch it when you get around to it. Then, when your new tire needs replacing, you already have a just-as-good-as-new tire to replace it. BTW, I would rather have to plug the...

    SoCal Veterans Day Ride Nov 11?

    We (er, or Hoon Gods) should think about pulling off a historic bucket ride sometime summer, 2014, no?. In the meantime, may the Hoon Gods be with you for the upcoming Veterans Day Ride.

    SoCal Veterans Day Ride Nov 11?

    Oklahoma? Did you get kicked out (just kidding) of Texas? Maybe one of these summers there, somehow, could be a So Cal and environs Hoon ride drawing FZ6-Forum riders, etc., from all over the map. It would be interesting...but probably not possible: too many puzzle pieces.

    Hoonigan or Hoon-again? Nov 3 ride

    So Cal might well be the center of the FZ6-Forum universe. It's maybe similar to a 24hr, 7 days a week full service bank. No deposit required. About the only time they don't ride is when bike is down for new rubber. Most of the time when I'm go down there (7 hour ride from NorCal) for a Hoon...

    Updates on the NYC Rider vs SUV

    I think one's entitled to opinion. I think readers understand that others may not agree even if one doesn't provide a rebuttal. :noworries:

    Updates on the NYC Rider vs SUV

    This brings up something: I notice sometimes vehicles with very dark tinted wiindows, even the driver's side. How does one get away with it? I imagine that cops must be very wary of walking up to a vehicle of which one can't even see what passengers/driver are/is doing. I guess they try to order...

    gas gauge not reading correctly!!

    You need to get your eyesight checked or pull back on drinking. You said 6K miles on a 2005? Alright, I guess it's possible. You're not reading trip mileage, right? There are several mileage settings...at least on a 2007 model. Also, I've noticed that sometimes the fuel bars don't adjust...

    SoCal Octoberfest ride Sunday Oct. 13th

    I'm jealous, you guys (this includes you, Jen) enjoying instant two/three-way Sena com while riding. And, yeah, that ride was great except Motogiro (and VEGASRIDER) was absent. Betty's got it all: looks, personality, charm, vibes, ECU, gusto... (too much to list). :thumbup:

    Too far to ride for a fill-up..., er maybe not (good excuse to ride to NJ?).

    ATGATT: I'm a paramedic student, this is my story.

    Try posting on a Harley forum? You'd probably get laughed at. I say that because many HD riders wear helmets that don't look like they provide much protection.

    SoCal Octoberfest ride Sunday Oct. 13th

    Thanks motojoe. Did make it home safe next day (Caliifer, Lefty and I) despite a cross-over blown turn (Mulholland Drive). How many might one get in a lifetime? I got lucky (no oncoming). It was a great tour/ride on Sunday (many thanks to Calirider and Lefty for the idea/planning) with...
