    A little help, please

    Thank you very much. I was hoping someone would say it looked like about the time they changed it out. The center "strip" BTW Eric, is just a film of dirt/dust the tires always get when I park it in the garage. They're worn pretty evenly. Not that I scrape the pegs all the time but I do lean...

    A little help, please

    I bought the bike new 8/2008 and it's an '08 model but I don't know the tire's date of maufacture. I'll have to check that. Yea, I do about half my miles on the super slab. The problem is I've used up all my local rides so I usually ride the slab to get to some new rides and I also commute to my...

    A little help, please

    Well I've searched and read a few dozen tire threads but figured I'd come to the masters for some direct information on my tires. I'm closing in on 8000 miles. I've also asked a bunch of people to look at the tires and tell me if they think I should get new ones. I've gotten opinions all over...

    Maine

    lol on the windscreen. When I called the owner at Cal Sci and asked about the different sizes he asked how old I was. I said 51. He said "old guys like the bigger windscreen." He was right. If you're looking to throw the wind over your head this is an awesome screen.

    Maine

    and again: Mr. Fizz tried chasing this other big motorcycle onto the lake: Of course we had to fill up here: It was a gorgeous Saturday ride and everybody on a bike was waving like we were all long lost friends. Ed didn't bring his bike up so I rode alone which I love to do...

    Maine

    My friend Ed invited my son, Jake, and I up to his cottage in Norway, Maine. Boys weekend, that sort of thing. Well Jake drove the RAV4 but I rode the Fizz figuring I'd take a ride or two around the area. Before leaving I oiled the chain and shined him up. Here he is looking like...

    How many of you look for 7th gear?

    Yep, done it and still do now and then. Pisses my toes off: "Hey idiot, you're out of gears and you're crushing me."

    The Scene at Work

    For so long now I've been the only motorcycle at work. They even let me park in the front on the hash marks when they hadn't yet opened the "motorcycle parking." So this past Wednesday I had a nice surprise when I arrived. 2 other bikes and our spaces were open for business. A 1500 cc Gold...

    A Milestone

    A Milestone When I traded in my Silver Wing I had 6833 miles. I took about 13 months to put those miles on the bike. Us cold weather guys have got to make the most of about 7 or 8 months. When the winter finally moves out of town, the house, the yard, and the family start competing for my...

    Fz6 / fz1 / fjr1300 ?

    I've ridden my friends FJR1300AE. It's a fabulous bike and the automatic clutch is ingenious. That particular feature takes a little getting used to but once you get a feel for it (which takes all of about 5 minutes) you'll love it. From my point of view there is one thing you must understand...

    When should fan turn on?

    Not broken, just not all that bright...j/k

    When should fan turn on?

    Mine turns on at 210 F and then turns off as soon as it hits 199. Keep your eye on this. The FZ6 has a repuation as bulletproof and so far mine is. The one "issue" that has come up on this forum 3 or 4 times however is a small rock can get stuck behind the fan blades and "pin" them so that they...

    The Go To Ride

    My friend sent me a link for a small online company that makes sheets of rubber/neoprene? they sell for lining kayaks. I bought a couple of 1 foot square pads (1/4 inch thick I think) and it has a peel away self stick side so I stuck that to the Cortech bags to provide protection to the bags and...
