    How *not* to clean and lube your chain

    Re: How to Safely, and VERY easily clean and lube your chain +1 on the Dupont Teflon lube. I use it on mine as well thanks to advice from other members here.

    Top box recommendations

    I know you're asking about top boxes, but thought I'd throw this in anyway. Have you considered going with saddlebags instead? I've always thought that the top-boxes cover entirely too much of the brake light on the FZ6. I went with this setup on my bike: Givi Tubular Sidecase Racks...

    Riding while carrying coffee

    I've found that you can fit a few gallon jugs of McD's sweet tea in each of the Givi V35 saddle bags. If I must get a beverage to go, I grab a gallon and an empty cup and throw the food and beverage in the saddlebags. I gave very brief consideration to sitting a bag of food on the tank of my...

    Reactions?

    I have had a few non-riding coworkers be surprised by me riding in the cold. Most of them are more concerned than condescending. "Is your car broke down? Do you need a ride?" etc. Now, the guys that ride, they always seem quite impressed. "Dang, I don't see how you ride when it's this cold."...

    Gallery uploads are working again

    Am I possibly doing something wrong? I've tried to upload a picture to Dec 2009 for BOTM and it looks like everything is going through ok, but the picture isn't showing up in the gallery.

    Paragliding

    That really looks like a blast. I'd say that parachuting out of a plane on wii sports resort is about the closest I'll come to doing that though. ;) Ride [or fly] safe, ~Scott

    FZ6 vs. Triumph Street Triple R

    I looked heavily at the Street triple, but decided my wife would be much more comfy on the FZ6. I also looked at the Triumph Sprint ST, but just didn't want a bike with that much oomph yet. I pretty much like them all. :-) I'm thinking about a Kawaski Concours 14 ABS for the next bike...

    I hate fedora core!!!

    I run Fedora 10 on my work PC. I was about to upgrade to Fedora 12 but decided (appropriately) to let my boss try it out first. He's had a heck of a time out of it. Lots of problems with avhi screwing up DNS for him amongst other things. You may want to disable Network Manager and kinda...

    Wonder what that FZ-6r Crowd has been up to?

    That looks like great fun. I was actually impressed up until they left the relatively private 2 lane road and hopped on the expressway... If you want to do stupid things and hurt yourself, cool, but keep it away from other people.

    No road rash!!!

    Wow... Just... Wow. All the way through the video, I was thinking "He's going pretty fast" and then at the end he's passing motorcycles and cars... That's pretty crazy stuff.
