Right, so I'm officially moved to Northglenn Colorado! (Hooray!!!) Before I left, I sold my poor FZ6 to a good friend's dad.She'll get taken care of for sure. I thought when I got here I'd scrap the idea of having a bike, and get a sports car instead! I test rode a 2012 WRX Hatch and LOVED...

EDIT: SOLD SOLD SOLD Hey all, I've decided that I'm not going to worry about moving and storing most my stuff on my trip to colorado, so I'm just going to sell what I can and buy what I need when I get there. This means the bike has to go. The deets: 2008 FZ6 36k lovingly fun (and easy, I...

Luckily this isn't a "hindsight" post. (AKA Nothing went wrong!) But it's just a friendly reminder to clean your chain while you're lubing it. My chain and back tire was ridiculously caked with a bunch of road grime and junk to the point where a friend made a comment about it. My chain and...

Hey all! As of yesterday I accepted a new job (yay me!) in Boulder, CO and will be moving there in a couple weeks. After careful consideration I still think the FZ does everything I need her to and more so she's coming with me! :rockon: :rockon: My question is... Who else lives in the...

Hey all, so here's the story: I'm trying to get my wheels off for a little project I'm doing (and some deep cleaning ;) ) I was able to get the pinch bolt out of the front fork, then get the large nut off the rear for the axle.... but.... I tried removing the caliper bolts for the front...

Hey all, I'm going through the process of installing a heated grip kit (the kind that stick on underneath your grips) to my FZ6, and I'm just wondering what to do about the wires, specifically the throttle side... I feel like it would definitely turn with the throttle tube, and therefore would...

And where do I sign up for the next?!? ;) Seriously, though... I can't stop thinking about being out there... it was AMAZING! :D Here's some photos and videos of the fz6 in action! :) And video: http://sdrv.ms/133mOgs http://sdrv.ms/12cXk6v http://sdrv.ms/133njXC...

Hey all, I couldn't pass up the opportunity as one of our dealers is hosting a customer appreciation track day at Grattan Raceway next friday for $50!!!! (Including lunch!) I know, right? Anyway, I have a feeling I'll be pretty hooked on track days after this and I'm okay with that... but...

As of last night, this happened... Red Wings’ AHL Grand Rapids claims Calder Cup | ProHockeyTalk Congratulations Grand Rapids (and Michigan in general) on winning the 2013 Culder Cup! Really proud to be from this town right now!

Yesterday, our local yamaha dealer (who just became a triumph dealer this year) was having a demo day... So I went and test rode the Daytona 675.. OH MY I AM IN LOVE!!!! :D Seriously, though.. I want one. I'm now saving up for one... :D :D :D Oh, and gratuitous picture:

Well, I finally got there. :) Did about 215 miles on the bike yesterday and was able to take this picture: And the best part is that it happened here: Just thought I'd share it with you all! Happy (and safe) riding!

Hey guys, saw this on reddit, thought you might also might want to take a look. Long story short, this guy was going ~120mph, wearing leather boots/t-shirt/polyester coat/jeans. Tank slapper lead to a high side. Here's the gallery (Warning, don't continue if you have a weak stomach) Photo...

Hey all, I just "backed" these on kickstarter, and am hoping they hit the funded mark by April 13 so I can get them... I'm in for the $250 backing, which nets me a set of bar end signals as well as bolt on turn signals! :D Thought you guys might enjoy them too! MuzaMoto Motorcycle Turn...

Hey all, I've got an idea in my head of what I want to (over time) transform my FZ6 into :) (Good news is, I'm going naked!) So the plan for the front is to go with the new Triumph Speed triple headlights and flyscreen. Much like this: I would probably do an HID retrofit if...

Had some fun with iMovie last night and made this short film trailer. I'll be starting on the real film soon enough. :) Enjoy! P.S. Watch in 720p! :D 2012 Boersma Family Vacation Trailer - YouTube

Hey everyone, Long post ahead, grab some :popcorn: if you'd like, or skip the post altogether. But I'm sharing this with you guys because I feel connected to this community, and I'd like feedback, other's personal experiences, and just general advice. Thanks! Anyway, on to the story! As you...

It can be something specific or general. Aesthetically based or performance based. Cost based or what have you. What is your overall favorite thing about this bike. And/or why did you buy it? For me - The headlights. (specifically gen 2) They sold me on her. Just look so sleek and mean! I...

Hey all, ever since my low side on thanksgiving morning I've really been more "safety conscious". I was wearing my A* T-GP-R Air jacket, with my AGVsport Solare pants, but I feel like they wouldn't hold up in a crash again, so I decided to up my safety game. I had heard of Lionheart Moto...

So I've been searching around looking for a similar thread but can't find one. Basically here's my question. Apart from the obvious (sport vs supersport), is there a reason that handling on the R6 feels so much different from the FZ6? Let me explain. I have a 2008 FZ6, and my friend...

Well here's the story. I went on a little trip... by little I mean ~4,000 miles in about 10 days. So let's start this out with a picture of my trusty steed! Look at her! She's so ready to go! :) Started out on a bright thursday morning! Here we are at our first fillup, about ready to...
