    I wanted to share my touring-oriented Fz6 and see other people's touring bikes (forgive me if such a thread already exists. If so maybe we can use this as an opportunity to parade new modifications). Anyway it's not pretty and it needs a good washing but it's my abomination and I love it...

    Had my first accident, hope to gain insights into cornering

    I was taking a left turn at very low speed yesterday morning. The double yellow lines were wet with morning dew. Now the stupid begins. I leaned my body off the bike, and when my rear tire crossed the double yellows it immediately slid out -- suddenly I was leaned way over, and the next...

    FZ-09 Article in this month's Cycle World

    Maybe this is isn't worth posting, but there's a fresh article on the FZ-09 in the latest CW and it's a pretty informative read. Evidently Kevin Cameron is of the opinion that "...the chassis attaches to the forward-inclined cylinder head via four "spider legs." The lateral flex of this kind...
