    3 walking miles in Sidi boots

    I suppose they were racing boots. 3 miles?? Is there any sole left? :D Seriously, if they are anything like the B2 or the vertigos, the sole is VERY soft and tends to wear fast. I would take a pair of shoes with me next time. Your feet and wallet will thank you too :)

    ABS or Non-ABS

    Definitely the ABS version. ABS should only be unwanted for track bikes. Even then you can simply remove the ABS fuse and have a non-abs version :) A google search also showed that the weight difference is only 5kg.

    How hard can the fz6 countersteer?

    I have to agree with others. Half day with an instructor gave me much more than a year of riding both safety wise and performance wise. On the subject, you have to practise a few things like: 1) Braking before turn (use of rear and front brake with correct timing is crucial for late...

    Leventia! I've always wanted spend a couple of weeks touring in Greece. Within the next two years, maybe.

    FZ6 seat - help

    It does have the shape of the OE seat, but I have never seen one before in a colour other than black! I guess it has to be an aftermarket one, or some extra cushion was added by someone. Seller doesn't know?

    Tyres

    Here's my opinion on the ones I tried: - BT020: Annoyingly hard, bad grip, great mileage - Conti Road attacks: Good grip and good mileage, get in temp rather soon but the new dual compounds available in other brands are a better choice IMO - Pirelli Strada: Good for what the BT21s lack. Get...

    What kind of riding do you do mostly? Fun? Commute?

    It finally happened. It's gone

    Of course I did... :D Before he even decided to get the bike. He didn't strike me as a "computers' guy" though

    It finally happened. It's gone

    Thanks for the support:thumbup: No, I never really left the forum, just lurking around having a peek every now and then. I am not so active any more on posting but I do read through the subjects.

    It finally happened. It's gone

    I had a thread going a few months back. I decided to sell it for my own good, and wait for a year or two before I get on a bike again.Along the way I realized that I learned to control my urges and be a better rider. So, I changed my mind about selling it. But I already promised I would sell...

    It finally happened. It's gone

    I was forced to sell due to family (along with other) reasons. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't give in but I really had to. I can only remember good times on the bike. Do I even make sense?

    It finally happened. It's gone

    The FZ is gone for good. Sold it yesterday. I used to have the habit to check on the bike every time I get in the garage with my car and, for a second or two, I am still panicking every time I don't find it there. It will not be missed :liar: I just knew I'll miss it, but I didn't know that it...

    Acura RSX S-Type vs Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

    I would definitely go for a turbo car. You may miss the beautiful sound of a V6 but it's got more performance to give without adding too much weight. Different kind of turbo engines out there though. For example the Subaru kicks in after (I think) 3.5k rpm. Too much fun :) The EvoX is much more...

    Back on the saddle

    Well, I've been off the saddle and off the forum for around 2 months and I really miss this place. I am taking the FZ for a long ride on Friday and I just can't wait. Excited, I feel like a complete noob all over again. Just like the 'old' days :mikebike: I only hope the suit still fits me...

    Sidi Boots?

    Tall boots: - better protection - better ankle support -bad for walking long distances Lower boots -more comfortable -less protection I have a pair of sidis and couldn't be happier. I also own a pair of Daytona Shorties for short trips. They are pretty good too.
