    Stopped by the stealership yesterday...

    If it were me and I didn't have to worry about insurance, my choice would be N1, K1, GSX1250FA, then the FJR. I am too young for the FJR. The N1 would suit me just fine. Now, how to pay for the insurance?:eek:

    Replacement bulb for two bros turn signal.

    TO THE OP, I have found the Two Bros turn bulbs to blow fairly frequently. I have three I would be glad to send your way. However, as already mentioned, as you'll be blowing bulbs at least once a month, you might as well pony up and go LED. Just remember to buy the rely to slow down the...

    Just my luck....

    I'm just wondering, your going down the road at 80 mph. Where are your eyes? That's half the fun, spotting road debris and swearving out of the way. That's what I love about our bikes. They're highly flickable. Next time ride around the large shiny thing in the middle of your path. J/K:BLAA:

    Bought the FZ6!

    Glad to see you went with the FZ6. Nice color. Swap out the rubber and feel the difference. Then you can work on improving your leaning, turning, once your confident on your tires.

    Why we are doomed to fail...

    Dave, TX - I agree with you completely. Responsibility for one's actions is huge and there is a huge lack of it in today's youth. That scares me more but I'll be dead by then. GTPAddict - That was a most fitting video. Trees is an awesome song. Big Rush fan, thanks. CobaltFZ1 - It's...

    Why we are doomed to fail...

    Sorry in advance for this long rant. I am having a harder and harder time with just how greedy we are in the US. I mean everywhere I look, someone is trying to squeeze the last red cent out of someone else. It goes on almost unnoticed by most and it is starting to make me serious consider the...

    2 Test Drives today: F4i & FZ6

    First off, as you're buying a used bike, you may want to consider not carrying full coverage, depending on where you live and where the bike will be kept. As to which bike, only you can make that call. I recently sold my FZ6 and have been tooling around on a friends Honda 919. I like the...

    New idea for cars - Let's call it "turn warners"

    +1 This is a great idea. Like you said, I'd rather know late than not at all. Do what I do, stay away from cars all the time. It ain't the car that'll kill you, it's the driver. They never see motorcycles.

    Advice needed...Shipping Hornet from UK

    I thought about that, but having such a rare bike in an even rarer color appeals to me. Then again, if the cost of pulling this off is too high, I'll probably go with the S3R instead.

    F Atlanta Traffic!!!!

    The traffic between the bridges is bumper to bumper. The Verrazano is roughly seven miles from the Goethals. It's bumper to bumper from one toll plaza to the other during rush hour. I have to split the lanes or I'd go crazy. I figure if I were ever stopped, I'd be honest and hope the cop...

    Advice needed...Shipping Hornet from UK

    I've been back and forth with a Honda dealer in UK who has a 2009 CB900F in a burnt orange color with a blacked out engine. As I haven't seen this color combo, I am thinking it's only on 2009's as they stopped production. Here's the thing. I can ship it here, no problem. However, my fear...

    I think I've fallen in love...but don't tell the seller

    Got him down to $5,600 seeming as how it will cost $800 to ship it to me. But shhhh. Don't want anyone else to steal it from me. ;)

    I think I've fallen in love...but don't tell the seller

    2009 Cobalt blue 961 miles, bike is out in the NW. 52 year old owner. His friend gave up riding so he did also. I think I can get a decent deal. What do you think? Any questions I should be asking as I won't be there in person to check it out. Has all service records. Original bill of...

    This is very interesting...FZ8 for $6,400

    The FZ1 at the same dealer is $8,200. That's for a new 2011. Let's see what the insurance prices look like between the two.

    This is very interesting...FZ8 for $6,400

    As I am in the market, I saw this ad on cycletrader. I know Island Powersport and wonder if they are willing to do the FZ8 OTD for $6,400 plus tax. FZ8 That is a fantastic price, unless I am missing something. FZ8 is the new FZ6. FZ6R is junk, IMO.

    My heated grips no longer work, so...

    Had the tank off yesterday for spring cleaning. Fuses were in good order, there was power where it should be. I'm guessing the Oxford box is bad as I get no resistance when I push down on the buttons. Took it out, rewired it properly and plugged in the GiPro. After riding around with the...

    What would you do...just came into some money

    And come to think of it, a good friend was side-swiped by a BMW making a right turn from the middle lane on Madison Ave. A police report was filed, the case was turned over to the court system, and almost two years later, he was awarded a similar sum of money. Only difference, he kept 2/3's of...

    What would you do...just came into some money

    Exactly. We simply settled out of court. Without the expense of having to hire legal aid. Without getting into a discussion of the justice system in this country, the end result was the same. One party was injured, the other party was responsible, and a small monetary award was received for...
