Just traded my '06 FZ for a new Daytona 675. I was headed to the track more and more often, and I needed a sharper tool. Just wanted to say thanks to all here who's posts I have enjoyed over the last few years and have learned a heck of a lot from. Your guidance has been key. I'll be checking in...
Thought I'd put the word out about a new group I formed over the Xmas holiday. There has been a serious lull in the number of organized rides available to sport riders in the Tucson area so I decided to take it upon myself to bring them back...
With the exception of this forum :thumbup:, what else are you reading for info and moto-tainment?
I spend 2-4 hrs. daily reading anything and everything motorcycle related. RideApart, Superbike School, ADV Rider, Motorcyclist/CycleWorld/Fast Bikes etc. Not to mention the Vids on YouTube...
By some act of heavenly grace I managed an "extended" demo ride on the big gun Beemer today. Forgive me for uttering this here: I am ruined for any other bike now. I may be forced to defect.
It is everything that all of the magazines, video blogs and forums say it is. Absolutely perfect...
Didn't want to be the one to post this up, but this news shocked me today while I was taking lunch.
Simon Andrews Has Died After a Horrible NW200 Crash
RIP Simon Andrews
Had an interesting experience this weekend...
Met up with a group of BMW riders (mostly on ADV bikes) at the start of one of my favorite local rides. They barely acknowledged my presence, and I assumed this was because I was on a Yamaha, but oh well. I set off ahead of them wanting to get...
Hit up quite a loop this weekend on the FZ...
My buddy (VStrom 650) and I managed to get out of town Friday morning from Tucson for a couple of days of quality riding in the pines of east/central Arizona. I just threw on a set of Pilot Road 3's, and I needed to give them a good scrub. We took...
You've probably all seen this a hundred times, but man, I just really get a kick out of watching that R6 turn mountain goat... If only for a few seconds.
File this under:
Good God-I hope I never experience anything like that.

"Maybe you should've spent that money on an MSF course...
Just casting a line here... Doing my first real tour in about 6 weeks, and need a set of bags. After a new set of tires, getting a little tight on cash for the road.
Bummed I missed the MotoCentric bags for sale here a few weeks ago.
Got some you want to part with, lemme know!
Enjoy! This is a vid I put together of a Tucson Sport Bikes group ride. I am chasing down Rob, our ride organizer on a BMW S1000RR. Not much luck there.
Thanks for the views!

Ok, I may be a noob to bikes, but not to engines. Should I be concerned about this? I realize that there are several tubes that exit at this location, and that from what I can see in the service manual, none of them are a crankcase breather tube.
If I've missed something, let me know.
Ordered a pair of mild-mannered SIDI Cobra Airs and guess what showed up on my doorstep? A brand new pair of $475 Vortices instead. The order was way late, so I am wondering if Motosport.com only had these and shipped them in place of the cheaper boots. There was no communication in the...
A friend of mine insists that downshifting to a stop is a waste of energy and your clutch. I maintain that when it is safe to do so, utilizing engine braking is a good thing. Certainly the cost of a clutch is more expensive than the cost of brake pads. Any thoughts?
Hello all... Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, or if I am just doing something wrong.
Sometimes when rolling to a stop in a higher gear (say third or fourth) with the clutch in I have trouble getting the bike to shift into first once I'm completely stopped. I can...
Hey all. Just wanted to say thanks for the great info offered up here, and the positive nature of the site. Looking forward to reading and posting more often here. This site was influential in my first bike purchase: an '06 FZ6. Couldn't be happier with the decision. What a kick-ass machine!
