I use my disc lock whenever I'm on an over night trip or take my bike to work. I recommend a Kryptonite. They're small and inexpensive, I stow mine under the seat next to the tool pouch (it fits nicely). Place the lock on the rear wheel for 2 reasons. The rear wheel is harder to remove...

Nice video, the music is fitting since it's riding porn :) "Heeeeeyyyy, I'm here to loosen up your chain...."

This was last weekend. It was warm in New Mexico and extra warm in Arizona. Clifton was 90 degrees. There was fire damage and some sections of the road were rough bu overall it was in very good shape.

devil_spine_2012.avi - YouTube Last weekend 4 friends and I rode 1760 miles over 3 days and 3 states (Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona). We went down to Alpine, AZ and looped through the devil's spine, aka the Coronado Trail. I got about 5 hours worth of video so I'll be making a few more, but...

I vaguely remember reading something about bikes having a RPM limiter if the rider is underage. I think it was one of the Nordic countries, maybe that's it?

I definitely want to go back! I'm planning to do the Devil's Spine trip on the last weekend of April depending on weather. There's also going to be a solar eclipse directly over Gallup, NM (the first over night stop on the spine trip) but it's going to be May 20th on a Sunday. As far as...

I'm the little guy. First motorcycle of my own. Bought a brand new 07 R1. Go big or go home right? =P A month and a half later I was doing my first over night touring ride with the CSC, hence the tail bag.

Can't here either. It's a careless driving ticket (4 points, same as a speeding ticket).

That's weird. It should go all the way to redline in every gear except maybe 6th depending on your altitude, weight, ect. Does the power hard cut off at 8k? Does it bog down? What happens exactly?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: It seems like everything in Australia is expensive! I've seen the Austrialian tyre threads and OMFG! Here in the states a set of Pilot Road 3s is under $300 US Dollars.

Wow, they had squids in the 1950s too. Eternal plague of motorcycle riders!

That's a good idea! My power outlets come out under from under my seat. I wish the cords were a tad longer since I unplug myself if I stand up on my pegs. They're long enough for normal riding.

That's a clever setup!

Haha! Yeah, the snow is a real jerk! I think I'm being punished for trying to ride in February! Everytime I check the weather it's either cold or snowy! I was strongly considering a day trip down to Taos but... snow! And considering I got my 4th speeding ticket of the year (3rd since October...

My 12v outlets each have a fuse in the line as well as the heated gear. As that what the fuseblock does or is it something else? Btw, I'm jealous of your Super Tenere!!

It's good to know that they still sell for that much! The wife and I have 32gb iPhone 4's. The 4s wasn't really worth it for us to upgrade but hopefully the iPhone 5 will be. That is another huge plus for iPhones is you get back what you paid for them by selling on Craigslist or eBay. Basically...

A friend of mine cleaned up the wiring while installing my HID lights. The 12v outlets are still direct power (powered on full time, not just when the bike is turned on as in a relay setup) but no longer hard wired onto the battery. I'll have to ask him what he connected them to. It's really...

I wrote a write up on a step by step install of a 12v power outlet, specific to the FZ6. Located here. I installed two 12v outlet one on each side as well as my heat controllers.

Temps on my 07 are about the same. In the summer the normal (moving) temp is 190ish and it jumps to 210-220 in traffic. If it's really hot and I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic (Denver) I'll slowly lane split to move up. Sitting in traffic for an extended period with the fans running can...

I decided to take the plunge and purchase heated gear for my FZ6. Dual mounted heat troller. 90w jacket liner. Comes in both men and women's cuts as well as a lower 65watt version. Carbon heated gloves. (knuckle protection) Non-carbon fiber gloves. (cheaper). It's awesome...
