Nice review on the the FZ09 web site on how to convert the FZ09 into a long-distance touring beast or mule.

There's a little Tex-mex joint in Buda that has the best Mexican Shredded Brisket dinner that I've ever eaten. It is just amazingly delicious! And well worth driving down to Buda just for a taste. It's that good.
Also, I know some fantastic county roads in this part of the hill country that...

Hey Fizzers,
Are you interested in going up to the big TWT Pie Run in Hico, Texas?
If you want, let's plan on meeting at Seward Junction, Texas (just outside of Austin) at the gas station located at the intersection of 29 & 183 on January 30th. at 8:00 am.
I expect to meet quite a few...

Hiya,
I am curious as to what settings folks are using on the PC3 accelerator pump?
The doc's are quite vague and the dyno-adjustment process does not adjust this, I just wanted a feeling of the best results you have had for this feature.
The pump feature enabled on the Power Commande...

I am selling my custom Bill Mayer seat for $325 + shipping and handling.
The seat is vastly superior to Corbin and other canned aftermarket seat. My reason for selling is I plan to get a custom color version of the aftermarket seat. This seat will allow you and your passenger to...
Just finished a couple thousand miles touring and noticed that somewhere in New Mexico, the black RPM circular needle base was slightly melted.
This may have been caused by the aftermarket wind-screen (California Scientific) and perhaps parking at a slight angle that allowed the sun to focus...

Here are the winners of this year's Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition:

Hi Everyone,
I am planning on riding to New Ulm, Texas for meeting several other motorcycle riders in a typical pie run fashion. The round trip is about 230 miles of great back road fun following this possible route:
Let's meet at 8:00 am on next Saturday at the Starbuck's Coffee...
THE SEAT HAS BEEN SOLD
I am selling my black Corbin seat. I have another aftermarket seat, so I don't need two seats. The Corbin is firm but allows you to go well beyond the distance limits of the stock seat.
The seat is in excellent condition. It has been used for about four months...
Hey,
I think it might make an interesting "class" project to take a rider with a bag of goodies from the Eastern US and travel through the various states. The rider would then hand off the bag to the next rider along the way. He or she would eventually end up on somewhere on the west coast. It...
