    Interesting traffic violation (STUPID)

    I would take it to court and show pictures of other stock bikes and show the court that this bike comes this way. Maybe if he has to keep going to court for chicken tickets he might start writing something worth while. Doc

    Synthetic vs. Black Gold...Texas Tea

    Go synthetic and change the oil yourself. It's really easy and should take no longer than a few minutes. There is a whole list of oil filters that are compatable with your bike on this site, and a boat load of opinions on what oil is best. Doc

    What would you do?

    I agree w/Geet. I have my EMT so I would at least stop and see if I could help. Most of the time the best help you can be is stay out of the way of people that can do something. I would be bad taste to take a picture, but I wouldn't diss anybody for doing it. Doc

    How long do tires last?

    It also depends on how hard you ride. I like the Pilot Power 2ct, I get 8 to 9 K, some people get more some less. I don't think that I ride hard, next set of tires will be different. Doc

    Winter Gear

    I use a Gerbings jacket liner and have had no perceivable power issues. I usually turn it on when I'm at freeway speeds. When I'm at home I plug in the battery tender, as far as I can tell everything works fine. I do however when I'm at a stop put both feet on the ground so as not to use the...

    Nail in rear tire

    I would replace the tire. I have been there so I know what your are going through. I just wouldn't trust my life to a patch or a plug unless all you do is in town driving and don't exceed 25 mph. Doc

    Do you know EXACTLY how far your FZ will go on the flashing fuel indicator?

    Thanks for the info. I have pushed it to about 25 miles on the fuel gauge. But if I run out of gas I can only blame my self. Doc

    My answer to your question is. What is normal? I guess as long as no one gets hurt and it bakes your cookies go for it. :cheer: :rockon: Doc

    battery help please

    Along with checking for loose terminals I would also clean them while you are at it. Getting to your battery is very easy. Un bolt your tank then just shift it back and it will swing right up. Put the hinge bolt back in and use bunge cords to hold it up like in BD43's head light mod. Be careful...

    Went on a protest against the wind and rain today!

    First things first. Glad to hear that you are ok, now sorry to see your bike with a few boo boo's. Money is a bit tight right now, I'd hate to have to ride my love around for a month untill I could get it fixed. Good luck and thanks for the photo's. Doc
