Has everyone heard the new Snell 2010 standard comes out this month in the US? It appears the new 2010 standard produces a helmet which doesn't transmit as much force and is more comparable to the European ECE 22-05 standard. I read an article (linked at bottom of message) several months ago...

Bummer... I just picked up a nail in the rear tire. Probably have about 500 miles on Pilot Road 2. Went over 8000 miles on original Bridgestones without a hitch. None of the local places will patch it, so will replace. How about you... which tire catches the nails?

No, I don't mean my suspension is talking to me. I cruise the "pre-owned" bikes at my local dealers periodically and for a while was fixated on a BMW K1200S. I've always been interested by it's Duolever front end, which turns out was originally designed by Norman Hossack. Norm's patent ran...

Oh yeah! Today was a perfect example of spring in Colorado, clear blue and 70! Starting from home in Denver, rode about 50 miles north to Horsetooth Reservoir. Got a bit lost and found some great twisties heading up into mountains. Roads were good, but still some sand in spots and had to be...

Article on CNN regarding (US) NFL players who have suffered concussions and their long term health issues. It's a good read and if you're borderline about wearing your helmet, I think this will help motivate you: Dead athletes' brains show damage from concussions Some of these guys have...

I have a friend interested in a Ducati Monster 696... can't talk him into an FZ6... says the Duc just "fits" him better... whatever! Anyway, was looking up info on the Ducati valve system. It's an interesting design and is supposed to overcome valve float at high RPM. My question is, then...

Picked up some Motopak saddle bags and figured I should road test them before heading out on a "real" trip. Headed to Rocky Mountain National Park, then northwest to nowhere (Walden) and finally looped back east. Bags did great! I was concerned wind blast would blow them out, so fabricated a...

After WhirlyGirl's and others trip reports, I've decided to try a long distance FZ6 tour. Trip will be about 1300 miles depending on routes chosen, so fair amount of saddle time; Denver, Co to Eugene, Or. Any feedback or even here-say from the group on use of interstate (aka the 'slab')...

Went to visit some friends near Colorado Springs this morning. Great weather and left early enough to miss most traffic. Rode a few miles on a gravel road to get to their place. Had a few dicey moments, but kept the rubber side down. The skinny front tire seems to dig into the gravel...

I'm a new bike owner with an '07 FZ6. Have put about 400 miles on bike and while no major cage drama yet, thinking of adding headlight modulator. What are your thoughts are regarding headlight/taillight modulators? Anyone with significant before and after experience?
