haha yup, Dainese Held and Sidi already in my closet. And as I mentioned, looking for a single (or two) higher priced items to spend my money on, I will be dablling with all the little stuff when I dont have any spending money LOL Keep em comin!

Even keeping it below 7k you can still get very illegal very fast. its not pull your eyeballs back into your head off every red light, but its still enough to get in front of all the traffic

forgot to mention, frame sliders are already on, and already saved the bike when I dropped it on my first day with it hahaha already got a to-do list of the more-or-less freebies, just looking for suggestions on things to buy

Well, my budget leaves me with a few dollars left over every month so there isnt much spending money to go around now that Ive got my own place. However, I sold an old guitar amp for $200 today and am trying to decide where to invest it on my currently (brand new) stock FZ6. Im just an average...

Im a fan of the "go faster" mentality. Not by much, but enough that I dont have to worry too much about whats going on behind me if im just cruising and never have to worry about getting boxed in.

I love the earplugs. They seem to make everything much more calm and less distracting. Even the wind thrashing my head seems to disappear.

light gravel in 1st gear doing about 5km/h and I turned right off a road into a cul-de-sac and the rear still stepped out. practised a couple times, didnt seem to matter whether i had throttle open closed or even in neutral. Gotta hit it as straight as possible.

I own a dainese perforated leather jacket (in white with black accents) and I honestly do not find it too hot. With the liner in ive ridden in -5*C comfortably Its a lil warmer than perf. textile jackets but its only noticeable when sitting in traffic. keep it cruising, avoid traffic and enjoy...

Not to attack you or anything, or sound condescending as im extremely new to motorcycling; just wanted to bring up one point from Proficient Motorcycling. It doesnt matter who is in the wrong, or who has right of way.. The fact of the matter is that motorcyclists will get the short end of the...

I stuck to secondary main roads that runs through communities for 2 weeks. Usually only went out late at night when there were few cars out. A friend usually went with me and stayed in front to give me something to "chase" I found I kept feeling like I was going to fast and would be going 20km/h...

I got a question for you guys with the levers; I notice a HUGE difference in braking power/control when using a full hand on the front brake as compared to how I normally cruise (index,middle resting on the brake) and It made me wonder, Does switching to a shorty brake lever give you the same...

Held Thrux are what I have. They are good down to about 8*C and wonderful up to mid 30s. AMAZING comfort, perfect ventilation system, yet gauntlet for full protection. very nimble to use to get the DD strap done on the helmet

I bought my dainese jacket at Blackfoot Motosports in Calgary. Yes it cost $779 Yes it smells, feels and looks good enough to be worth it. simply the best there is for leather jackets. period.

mmm, I forgot to mention in my post; Up here in Calgary bikes dont lose value. Ninja 250s still cost 5-7gs unless its run down and beat, then its about 4 grand. I bought my FZ6 for 7100 OTD delivered to my body shop. If I lived in the states where the stories seem to tell that they are very...

I bought an FZ as my first bike. I took the Canadian MSF course and bombed around on a CBR125 before, but other than that no experience. I have already dropped it at a stand-still in a parking lot, but some $15 frame sliders saved that from being a big deal at all. For me it was either this...

I would just buy a cheap one as long as its calibrated. after you use it a couple times youll understand what the difference is between 30 and 40 ftlbs and I just hand tighten everything now, a little chapped I spent 220 on a Snap-on one

a week has passed now, foot is still discolored but not a whole lot of pain anymore. Got my B2's today! I cant wait to get back out.

solution: Buy a second crampbuster and put it on the clutch side.

The salesman gave me a nice slogan when I was deciding between a QUALITY vented/lined leather jacked and a textile.. "Id rather sweat than bleed." The protective qualities of leather IMO will make it worth it. Besides, most people say as long as your moving you dont notice a whole lot of a...

On the left. my post is in the "What I Learned Today" foot was too close to the bike when I put it down, lost all leverage on a slight lefthand slope. Couldnt dig for the muscle to keep it up and gravity kicked my butt. One thing that really worries me is what has already been posted: Stalling...
