    Agonizing choice of touring windscreens: GIVI ??

    I read some comments from the guys at Cal Sci. They tried and tried to make one for the '04-06 FZ6. With the design of the fairing they couldn't get it to work to their high standards. They would rather not make one at all then put out a product that they were not satified with/proud of. I can...

    Why do we mod our bikes?

    The poster who said "improvment" got it right in a nutshell. We all seek to improve the bike in some manner. For some it would be an increase in preformance-Speed, braking, handling For some-increase in comfort For some-practicality for daily use For some-a long distance tourer. For...

    Ride To Work Day

    I escort funeral processions. I have a former CHP BMW. The company I work for contracts with funeral homes and we provide the escorts. Interesting work and fun. We don't deal with the grieving families much, so that sadness is not part of my day to day life. I've been doing it part time since...

    Ride To Work Day

    Pretty much a moot point for me. I ride for a living. If I'm not riding, I'm not working.

    So who wants one of these?

    Now that's funny. As to the law, probably something similar to shouting "Fire" in a crowded theater.

    Fz6 Down

    Is it legal to lane-split in Texas?

    As far as I know CA is still the only state where it is legal. I understand AZ had some pending legislation that was a "trial period" of some sort and also was limited to the population centers.

    $100 Stop light--divine intervention?

    The Stop light thread got me thinking of an incident that happened to me very early in my riding life. I was at a stoplight on my way home from work at about 11:00 PM. I was in neutral (I know I know, I did say I was a new rider at the time.) I'm looking around and I see what appears to be a...

    Horn-y

    I use my horn constantly. Better to piss someone off than be a hood ornament. I put the PIAA Sprot horn on the FZ and it is a huge improvement over the stock horn. However on the BMW the CHP left the siren on the bike when they sold it. It has two switches, on for the siren and one for an...

    The BMW R----GS bikes tend to be to heavy for serious off road. Although they make great on road touring bikes.If more than fire roads are in your off road plans and you want a Beemer look at the F and G series GS bikes. KTM's look awsome but I have no experience with them. People really seem...

    Just recieved from the AMA.

    The earlier versions of the bill that required emmisions testing went back to 2000 model year. That was bad enough. Trying to go back nearly 30 years is insane. That said this is California, land of the fruits and nuts.
