    Your Rider Resume

    I am 25 years old now and started riding when I was 18. My first bike was a 1981 Yamaha xs 400 special and special it was. It was mint condition until I decided to crash it in a turn full of gravel. Lesson learned. My next bike was a 2004 Suzuki SV 650 naked. Loved the bike and had it for...

    luggage pictures/problems

    So I just got off the phone with nate at newenough.com and he said not to run saddle bags or a tail bag on the fz6. He has a pile of bags that have been burnt by the undertail exhaust due to how they mount. He also said some of the bags were fine but the clothes inside started on fire from heat...

    Helped pickup another rider's bike the other night

    My guess is she was probably drinking and wanted to get out of there before the cops showed up and she got arrested for drinking and riding.

    Whats your mpg?

    I believe you should fill up the bike while sitting on it and keeping it vertical and stop once it hits the bottom of the neck. I have gotten 50 miles per gallon before and consistantly get 45 riding on the freeway. I would imagine in town only riding you should get at least 40 mpg. Maybe it...

    Just put money down today

    I put money down on a 2005 FZ6 today and can't wait to pick it up this week. Has 4,300 miles on it and a corbin seat installed. I had a 2004 sv 650 for 2 years and loved it so I hope this is half as fun. I just wanted to try something new.
