Hi peeps! Been a while and im trying to bring life back into my FZ6. Have not rode her this year so I was doing all the fluids and a battery change. My memory is failing me and I dont recall what I should expect. Mainly I need to know what the bike should do when you put in the key and push...

Well my beloved FZ6 betrayed me last night. She must have known I was winterizing her for storage. I just washed it like I have done easily a dozen times before. Waxed her up and was taking her for a quick spin back to my garage. Low pressure hand wash, very careful. That is when I started...

Found this article about a motorcycle made in 1917 that know one knows who made it(according to the article). Figured peeps here might enjoy the read. Mystery of the Traub Motorcycle | HEAVY

Last two times I have commuted to work on my bike have almost ended badly for me. First time a lady cut me off and i almost drove straight into the side of her car, went from 55 MPH to 0 faster than i thought i could. Did lock my back wheel up though, aside from a near crash it was kind of...

140 Mile range. Quiet. I bet its crazy to ride, having no engine creating vibrations. Now i just need a extra 60k. Riding the Mission RS Is Like Driving a Two-Wheeled Tesla | Autopia | Wired.com

Id do a ton more mountain biking with this beauty.

So i was in need of some summer gloves and I wanted something that had good protection and still breathed well. I was looking at the Astars SMx-2 air carbon glove, but my other pair of Astars really didnt hold up very well. The soft synthetic suede wore out in about 100 miles or less...

Title says it all. Will I regret washing a hot bike and more so with a pressure washer? First off let me say I prefer to hand wash my bike. However I moved and I dont have a hose where I live. Two main questions here. Will I damage the bike if I use a pressure washer? And can you wash a...

Went for a wondeful ride up to Morgan and Henefer Utah this weekend. Tad more exciting than I would prefer. We were on the way home just a little past half way on our loop. Suddenly there was a largish bug on my visor, I quickly realized it was on the inside. Tried to remain calm, pretty...

Interesting read..... FZ-09 compared to the FZ8

Blue Alpinestars SMX-4 gloves size large for sale. Gently used, in great almost brand new shape. Realized they were too big for me and I bought them in a medium. Since I wore them (3 times less than 50 miles total) i could not return them. Perfect for summer, they have some nice airflow to them...

Not sure if this is old news here but it sure made me excited. Ive wanted a triumph 675 but always felt guilty leaving the Yamaha brand....now I wont have to. looks like the R1 and R6 will have a triple engine. :rockon: Next Yamaha R6 and R1 will be triples - Motorcycle news: New bikes -...

Who remembers Road Rash the game? Well they are trying to make a comeback. This game was one of the reasons I fell in love with motorcyles. That and excite bike. Guess they are trying to do a kickstarter to raise funds and I thought id share this with everyone. Road Redemption by...

Bit the bullet and bought some Olympia airglid 3 textile pants. I was in a rush and after i got home I was wondering if I bought them too big. With all the liners in they fit over my jeans with a tiny bit of room to spare in the waist, probably will wear a belt. Without the liners and...

what does everyone wear when they commute? I was looking at something like the astar Joey WP shoe for a little more casual look Alpinestars Joey All Weather Casual Shoe | Alpinestars or maybe even the non water proof one. However Im not sure if I should just go with more protection...

Who has frame sliders? My mentality was "Just dont drop the bike". However I have seen and heard many horror stories. Garage tip overs, or coming back to a tipped bike. I cant help to think that $50 bucks might save a lot during a mishap thats in or out of your control.

People seem to LOVE to tell me what they think with gestures and words while riding...some nice things, some not so nice and then some odd things. Other night I had some dad(kids and wife in the car) yell to me "I would have been at fault, but you would have been dead" WTF? Guy was...

I have been trying to decide if a battery tender is somethig I want and so i asked a buddy who races and works on bikes and owns a zillion of them....he told me to totally use a tender for the winter because the bikes wont charge the battery at idle so starting it in the garage would do more...

So before I take my bike to a mechanic I thought id get everyones input here. My bike keeps randomly dieing when I come up to a stop light. Some times I am in 2nd, or 3rd, etc which gear i am in does not seem to matter. Sometimes it doesnt even die. I clutch in to down shift or stop quickly...

So whos helmet? :BLAA:
