:) Love it...I'm gonna have to ask the next girl who takes a ride w/me if she'd like some lube for her helmet :) Hehe Oh, dear.

PM Sent And thank you for doing the Q of the day :) Love it

Damn the luck!! *grumbles*

I really have no other ideas. :( It blows my mind. They weren't regular enough for them to be intentional cuts by someone. The tires were cupping noticeably enough and about a week or 2 before I replaced 'em I noticed the cupped up rubber had actually come off most of the treads. That's...

Ryan, my dad and I did change out the rubber on my Bandit's front wheel. Without some sort of dedicated tool / set up for it....it was a monumental pain. So much so that I just take 'em off the bike and have someone else do it from that point. I'm lazy ;) Not lazy enough tho. I lost a day...

I'm loving watching your progress! I'm impressed and inspired by watching what you do. :) :rockon: :thumbup:

I was totally surprised by those ruffles / cuts / whatever you want to call them on the rear tire. I had checked the tire over not 3 or 4 days before my new ones arrived. The last day I rode her to work I had a hard stop which included some chattering of the rear tire. I wouldn't quite call...

I have a vibration (or maybe it's in my head that I can slightly feel it) right around 7k rpms as well. It too will stop once you pass 8k or so on the tach. I became aware of it after I made my first video and posted it here. I wouldn't recommend using my video to try and hear it, cuz well...

At almost 8300 miles, it was time to change the stock tires. So I set out to do it myself. At least, remove the tires myself. I don't have the equipment to actually change the tires. You'd think I'd know by now to just let someone do it. It takes me too long to do these things. But then I...

I've been stung 3 times while riding. My dad's house is on that country-ish road in my video I posted. Since I'm mostly traveling around 30 mph sometimes I get hot and pop my shield up. I got tagged in the temple once on his driveway by a yellowjacket. I got tagged on the neck traveling the...

Ooof, I'd have to leave out here just before 6 AM to make it. Hmm...Do I want to get up that early on a Sunday :spank:

Gah, you guys are killing me. I'm putting new rubber on Betty and hopefully I can participate in this soon :) I'm enjoying the thread!! Your Fz6 with a crowd of at least 20 people.

I'm jealous. Makes the mountains here look like a large hill by comparison. :) I think the elevation of the nearby mountains is around 2,000 ft above sea level. I think I'll trade the riding season I get here tho for the smaller mountains :)

If I don't drop the ball and totally not get my tires put on this weekend, I may be good for it. Where are you guys plannin on meeting up? That way I can see my travel time vs time of departure and all that. I tend to be lazy on Sunday and sleep in :P :spank:

You know...no one ever said that to me. I did do BD's headlight mod however. I LOVE it. It was so easy (once I resolved myself to actually remove things as instructions told me) and the part is beautifully made.

Woo them with stories from the Dyno :P Works for me everytime :) Sounds like a good fit for you, man. Win 'em over :)

New tires got in today. I probably won't have her back on the road until midday Saturday at best. I'd risk it on these, but I'd better not. Gah! If I hadn't procrastinated I could have made this ride. :-\

When it's longer than 1/2" it's time to cut it again! :P Cheap haircuts for yours truly. I bought some clippers and yeeehaw! I still have both my ears too...thank goodness.

:( Man o Man...Good insurance I hope??

2008 with 8273 miles. I have had her just a shade over a year. I hope to ride more this winter than last ;)
