A bike going down with frame sliders and the frame breaking just behind the sliders has been known to happen. However, think about what parts of your beautiful bike will hit the ground. Your frame is going to hit the ground for sure without sliders. I have sho-gun sliders and I had a low side...
my 05 is at about 19K miles, and she seems happiest when she gets a good hard ride that just borders on abusive. I am on my third set of tires, need new chain, need new plugs, need coolant flush over the winter. I do regular oil changes. I honestly can say that she ran like a top the day i...
I am running amsoil MC specific that i bought from the dealership only 1k miles on the change after the trip. As was mentioned I think I was between gears. Had a go thought the bike today chain needed a little tightening, teeth on both sprockets looked normal, and she rode/ shifted regularly...
I went on a trip the other day. We had been riding for about 18 hours off and on with fuel and coffee stops. Rode the bike across the Mackinaw Bridge for the first, and second time. Anyway at about hour 14 we got behind some dumb traffic that kept feeling the need to mash their brakes, then...
I like the hidden kill switch idea. maybe a switch that interrupts the spark unless turned off? that way if somebody bypasses the ignition they still wont get a running bike. That and you could always slap a couple NRA stickers on the bike. They might think twice if they think the owner of the...
I was the only faired yellow FZ I know of. But the bike went down thanks to a soccer mom in a mini van. Now My bike mentioned by Xavias looks like the second two pictures. If you want to get your parts painted like this PM me and I can tell you the color combo.
Though any accident is tragic, I get the same thing quite often. A lot of times it is somebody that has never ridden but has heard a story from somebody else about somebody else. I feel like they have to try and justify there own fear of riding.
Like I said before it is normally a story from...
I would actually be interested in shooting those. Of course I would like to shoot just about every gun I come across as long as it is well maintained and in proper working order. Thanks for the pics.
P.S. I had a fifty cal/ M2 on my truck when i was in Iraq. It was awesome and often times a...
I am glad to here that everybody that you know is okay, relatively. However, I want to make sure that you know that your brother should get checked out for a concussion, if he did not already. I have spent 11 years in the army and the effects of a blast can cause mild traumatic brain injuries...

two explosives detonated today at the Boston Marathon. As of now they are reporting two dead and 22 wounded. I hope that these numbers do not climb as more information is released, or as the wounded are cared for. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. I fail to see...
The speedo is the original round one. took a little work but it fits in there. will work on more pics. I plan on doing a "how I did it tread" as well once I finish up reworking the wire harness and putting in a relay to operate the high/low beams separately.
My brother in law knew Vivi and thus I knew him through my brother in law. We road together a couple times, he is a good guy, but he was always gone for school. PM me we will figure out some times that work.
So a while ago I posted a thread when my bike went down:( just before I left for Afghanistan. So then I had to wait till I came home to put her back together. Now I think she is prettier than ever. Just wondering what you guys think? FZ8 headlight, r6s forks and caliper, bar end mirrors, and...
