I recently attended the 2012 Vintage Festival at Barber's Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL & had a wonderful time. It was sponsered by Triumph & was the best festival yet! Triumphs everywhere, along with booths by Motus & EBR (Erik Buell Racing) all showing off their new bikes. The EBRs were...
I took this pic of my 14 y/o Siamese yesterday. He was cleaning himself & when he was finished, forgot to pull his tongue back in. He left it hanging out like that for about 15 minutes! It was hilarious!
We can mostly all agree that our FZ's factory seats are crap for comfort. I've been using a no-name gel pad that was given to me used for about 4 months & it's helped alot, but still had room for improvement. An AirHawk was my 1st choice, but way more than I wanted to pay (I know the AirHawk2 is...
Have any of you seen this commercial? It's a Ducati 848 EVO if I'm not mistaken. It appears she is starting the engine by depressing a button with her foot. I've tried to Google this & can't come up with anything. Surely this isn't OEM, is it? I've never seen this on any motorcycle. If they made...
I was looking for some decent in-ear headphones to keep wind noise to a minimum while getting decent sound quality while listening to my iPod while riding. I didn't want to spend $100, or $50 or even $30 for a set, so when I ran across these at Wal-Mart, I decided to try them. The price was...
A couple of rednecks pulled beside me today in a "hopped-up" C4 Corvette sporting Cragar S/S wheels (Why did they have antique Cragars on a wedge-nose 'vette? I don't know, they're rednecks). Anyway, they were revving their unmuffled Cross-Fire injected engine like they wanted a piece of the 600...
Well boys & girls, I've changed my screen name from "BadBikerBob" to "Darth Fazer". I used BadBikerBob on the RoadStarClinic back when I rode cruisers. I'm back to my roots now & wanted to reflect that (& also my love for Star Wars). I'd like your opinions on my new screen pic.
a) keep the...
Ok, so maybe it wasn't so much an official "blow out" as it was an "instant deflation". I was riding back from Lake Hill Motors in Corinth, MS, the Yamaha dealer 60 miles from home that I purchased my FZ6 new from last year when all of a sudden the back end felt "wiggley". I was right in from of...
Just curious what everyone was riding before falling for the FZ6? My last bike was a '00 Road Star 1600 (the 1st pic was set up for touring with my nephew, Frank at the helm. The 2nd was after I set it up as sporty as I could get it). My previous bikes have also included (in chronological order)...
What do y'all think of my home made skid plate? I wanted one to protect the exhaust from rocks & such & couldn't find a company that made one so I did out of a scrap piece of diamond-plate aluminum. I've always liked the "adventure bike" look, so I guess I'm trying to turn my FZ6 into a...
I don't want to start a war here but I'd like some advice on what kind of oil & filters you guys like the best. I have used Shell Rotella Synthetic 5W-40 & a Purolator PureOne oil filter in my last 3 bikes. I'm kind of apprehensive about using the diesel in my new FZ6 with the catakytic...
