FZ6 = $$ FZ8 = $$$$ This applies to pretty much everything. For me, I just didn't want to pay the premium for the much newer bike. I got an FZ6 that was 6 years old and had 4k miles for $3500. FZ8's tend to go for nearly twice that with 15-20k. They do have a better suspension and a...

I have a Scorpion EXO 1000 and I don't care for it at all. I get a hot spot on my forehead after an hour even though it's fitted correctly everywhere else. It's pretty noisy. I've already had to replace the quick release on the right side and the round covers are different than any other...

How many MI people do we even have on here?

You might also be able to add an inline fuel filter. They are usually dirt cheap and used on lawnmowers and such. I'd do this in addition to the pebbles and a good long kerosine soak. At least that's one of the cheapest options, but I haven't done it on a FI bike before.

It does not make you a bad person. No worries. Every time I ride the bike to my parent's house I hear from my Mom all about how her cousin is a quadriplegic from a motorcycle. He was drunk and slammed his Harley into a light pole. That's like saying the gun was to blame rather than the...

The reason not many of the good folks on here where aware of this is because this is a Harley rider's concern.:tard: This has come up twice before and Jenny From the Block knocked it down both times. Synder will probably let it pass just because he doesn't care one way or the other. I am...

This came up on a website I frequent for cool "Guy's stuff". I clicked on it because it said Diesel Motorcycle and I got a major Don Ready. Then I found out it was a fashion designer. I had to get over to the EU Yamaha site and stare at the MT-01 for a while just to get back in the mood.

I got this today from a total stranger as I was "Gearing down" when I arrived at the book store. He was on a Road King with the half helmet and t shirt combo. He chuckled at me when he simply parked and started to walk into a Panera Bread. A real badass right there.

I went out today around 9am and rode until 3pm with a couple of stops for food and fun. There was hardly a soul out in the morning. I guess everyone was still asleep or too hung over.

Any others avoiding the road for St. Patty's drunk driver fest? I've been working all day and I really want to go for a spin when I get home, but I just don't think it's worth it.

I'll bite. I work in advertising/digital displays for the Detroit Red Wings. 2 Years. I love it and never look back, except when I look back. Blackhawk fans need not apply.

+1 for wanting the crash bars. I wasted a lot of time at work today looking for anything like them online to no avail.

I've always been a fan of something more like this. The only problem with it on a sport bike is tank clearance. Anyone with one of the bar end mirrors ever consider flipping them under and is there enough room? The ones already posted look fairly small and like they might work.

So I'm thinking of picking up a older style Ninja 250 as a guest bike and beater. Anyone else keep one of the cheap wonders around or is it slightly perverse to chose the 250 over the FZ6 for a quick ride? Anyone ever created a "Mad Max" bike of sorts from this platform with custom crash...

It would have been much more interesting to see a 45mph/75kmh head on with a average sedan heading at a similar rate. It's a much more likely scenario and immensely scary. I'll still take my "Small" 08 VW Rabbit that most countries other than the US see as a mid size.

Here is a gallery from my time as a photographer for the Journal Of Emergency Medicine. First one was the cover for January and one of the others was used in a story, but I can't remember which. Police, Fire & Paramedic - Mike Langford I can't wait for good weather to get some pics of...

What fairing kit is that?

I would take that trade any day. That's a beaut man.

Is that the polymer Phantom or just a straight SP-01? I didn't think anything other than the steel frame models were even available with a safety. Congrats by the way! I'll take some pics of my Tactical tomorrow and post them.

When you HIT a motorcyclist in your Yukon, please stop. They are probably too injured to kill you. It's happened to me before in a newly minted roundabout. :rant:
