The paper towel is pretty much what I do. I do have a 2x3' sheet metal "drip pan" that my landlord gave me to prevent oil drips from the car from disturbing his polished garage floor, and usually put that under the bike when I'm doing any work just in case. My car does not drip anything other...

North America is heavily forested to this day and the soil and climate are ideal for relatively fast-growing trees used in most construction. Clay to make bricks is relatively rare compared to the UK and Europe in general. The Romans built with granite, marble and other types of stone...

FYI, really no need to lube the underside. Lube from the inside before a ride, and the spinning forces will suck that lube to the outside of the chain, with any excess thrown off in the process.

Yeah, be careful with the names, because they've meant different things at different times. F650GS up until 2008 - Single cylinder 650. Most of them came with wire wheels, but you see both wire and aluminum. Many of them came with the lowered suspension. G650GS 2009-present - Same single...

I was going to say that the fast ones only appear to be red, and only after they've passed you. They appear to be blue as they approach you in the rear view mirror. You either get it or you don't. :)

Thinking about it. Would be tough to protect the idea though, since it's already become pretty common in cars for backup purposes and is soon going to be mandatory. Often uses a small LCD built in to the rear view mirror.

People like to joke that their color is "fastest." Reality is that everything from the same generation is pretty comparable to everything else in most ways. It's all in good fun.

Ultimately the solution to seeing what's behind you is a tiny camera facing back and a small LCD screen mounted in front of you where you won't have to do any more than glance down quickly. The technology is at the point where it's really not that expensive and I'm kind of surprised nobody's...

Tons of information about this at the FZ6R forum that others have referenced. You can't do a store-bought slip-on for the FZ6R, as the exhaust is one piece. One of the members there and here (Marthy) has an exhaust solution for the FZ6R that allows you to add a slip on by reworking the...

I've seen two situations where the shoes were pulled off in the crash, but the guy survived. At least one foot was pretty mangled in each of the cases though. In both cases, they were pulled off during the slide, or by getting caught on something.

It's not just that he was looking down. From the start he was more interested in narrating his video than anything else. Cameras are a good thing. Doing your narration in real-time, not so much.
