Balls to that. Everyone knows pride is the greatest prize of all. Keep it up, OP. These guys just don't have their priorities straight. :Sport:

Bump and update. Price is 3000 firm. :thumbup:

I am really hoping those are kevlar jeans Zee is wearing... if not, what is he thinking riding with half the gear, on a bike like that? Speaking of which, that is one of my top 3 favorite bikes of all time. If he ever wants to sell it, let me know! :BLAA: Also, how in the world did he...

I reread your post, and I think that's exactly it. Also, you mentioned feeling like you could be able to take your hand off. The reason it could "feel" like less resistance on your left hand during a left turn is because obviously your hand is on the throttle, and you could be pulling on the...

I'm selling my red 2006 fz6 with 5000 miles on it. I am selling because I need to buy a new parachute for upcoming bridge day in West Virginia. Sadly, finances aren't great, and the fz6 is really where all my "fun" money is tied up in. It has a clear title, never been wrecked. Has a 0 mph...

First question: are you hanging off the bike, or not? You don't want to be applying hardly ANY pressure on the handlebars. They are not there to support your weight. You should be clenching the gas tank with your legs, and that is how you support yourself. That is why there are big grooves of...

Lots of decent advice, but somehow someone forgot to mention the most vital way to keep the temp down: Don't sit in traffic. Lanesplitting is legal in California, no? :thumbup:

More speed= more stability. While maybe not safer (perhaps in good conditions), riding a fast wheelie feels so much more solid.

I get that all the time. I do the same gesture back at them every time... look at them, make a gun with your hand, put it to your head, and pull the "trigger". I figure if they are suggesting I do something that could kill me, they would appreciate if I do the same. Somehow people don't...

It's very possible to shift from first to second while in a wheelie, the only problem is, like you said, it's very clunky. Usually when upshifting in a wheelie, the easiest thing to do is go clutchless. Like someone else said, it's just about finding the right balance, and technique. Do not...

I live really close to the palace. It's truly amazing how it is right in the middle of West Virginia. The first time I went I endulged in the guided tour, which was severely overpriced. The lady tour guide was a wannabe hippy, who really didn't know much about any of the beliefs, and couldn't...

No worries. That's normal. Would you be up for riding sometime? I am in Pittsburgh as well (South hills). We usually ride down into WV, but I could come to you if you know some cool routes. I'll PM you my number.

Also, highway riding is less scary than you would think. The very, very first bike I ever sat on I drove home 2 hours on the highway after I bought it. I had to have the guy explain every single control because I had no clue. I never felt uneasy on the trip back. Funny thing, though... Is...

I feel like your priorities are off. For one, 100 km drive is nothing. I do that almost every day for work. I drove 4 hours to get my fz6, and I would have gone further. A good deal on a safe/reliable bike should be worth the time. It sounds like even if the bike were flawless, the price isn't...

While that is hilarious and practical, I can't help but thinking it would get stolen.

I would think the bike could fall through on the center stand as well. All it is doing is doubling the points that hold the bike up. If it is hot enough, both could fall through. I do not know if the bike could then tip over, though. I have had this happen to me back when I road a 1100 ninja...

Why is it that whenever one of these videos surface, it's always a nutjob behind the camera. Do normal people not have video cameras and a zeal for justice? Nothing against this guy. But I feel the video would carry more weight if he didn't sound drunk, and didn't sound like a complete hippy.

Man gets jail time for smuggling 60 pounds of cocaine | KTKA.com That was just the first one I found. He got a few years for smuggling heaps of coke. I plead down to the misdemeaners, and got a greatly reduced sentence. But, the original charges added up to over 30 years in prison. Being...

As someone with three misdemeanor convictions in two states as a result of an all out motorcycle chase, I suggest you stop even seemingly easy chases. It can get out of hand very, very fast. You might think you can get away (as I did after 15 minutes backroads/highway driving followed by at...

Somehow you forgot to put the option "Until I blow a tire, then a few miles more" for us hardcore riders who like to get the most distance possible out of every tire. :thumbup:
