Hey Guys & Gals, So I walk out to my bike this afternoon to do a walk-around and notice my back tire is flat on the rim. I grab my air pump and fill her up to ~30psi and start feeling for leaks, notice two small leaks 3/4 inch apart. There is a ton of construction going on in my area, so I...

Hey Guys & Gals, Wanted to take a minute to introduce the newest member of the FZ6 family and the youngest pillion rider ever, Lewis "Leo" Julian Winston. He was born about two weeks ago 8lbs 5ozs, 21 inches. Can't wait to get him a little helmet, boots, and jacket! I'm envisioning first day...

Enjoy... some of this is pretty brutal. You've been warned. LiveLeak.com - The most brutal car accidents in 2012

This is the second time I've gotten this kind of mileage out of this brand/model of tire, first on my Yamaha FZ6 and now on my Triumph Street Triple R. To be honest, there was plenty of tread left on the tires, but I picked up a nail in the rear tire, so I thought they didn't have enough tread...

Yes, you read that right. Was meeting a friend at his lake house in Northern NH that I had never been to, was getting dark, and was just following my GPS. Now he told me there would be a dirt road, but that it would be well packed and easy for me on my bike. As it would have it, my GPS took me...

Alright guys, I know some of us got our tax refund already. Question is, what did you decide to do with it!! Here are my purchases: 1. Sidi Cobra Boots http://www.motorcyclegear.com/street...cle_boots.html 2. Shoei RF 1100 in Pearl Grey to match my Matte Grey Striple R...

Okay guys. This may sound like a naive question given that I've been riding for several years now and logged 40k+ miles. I frequently read about people replacing their chains and going to a "520" chain. What does this mean exactly? After a quick google search, my Triumph takes a "525"...

Hey Guys, Just found this on CycleGear's website on a pretty big sale. Anyone who's ever needed to do a chain swap themselves knows you need one of these to do the job! Rob STOCKTON TOOL COMPANY Parts & Accessories - Chain Breaker and Rivet Tool Kit - Cycle Gear

As riding season is cranking back up here in New England... I'm looking to put some new tires on the bike. Currently riding on Michelin Pilot Road 2's and looking to stay with the same. Any good deals out there that you guys have seen? Best deal I've seen is $258.95 for the set on...

Hey guys, Being a long weekend, anyone feel like going for a nice long ride on Sunday? Thinking something into Vermont or New Hampshire, unless people further South have something better in mind ::cough Erci:: Rob

Hey, I passed a silver naked conversion FZ6 with two bro exhaust on today on my way to work on VFW Parkway right near the West Roxbury VA around 8:05am while on my Triumph. Was that anyone here?:BLAA:

I don't know why, but all of a sudden, after years of membership and never changing my password, the forum is prompting me that my password is 180 something days old and that I need to change it. Is there some new security policy around here and has anyone else been prompted to do the same...

While searching for some winter touring gloves, I decided upon some Alpinestars Storm Rider GoreTex gloves. Only one problem, they were discontinued this past year and aren't available in the US in my size anymore. I did however find an online distributor in England who had them, but he...

After almost 6 years and 40k+ miles of riding, I've managed to be a very alert and defensive driver, anticipating long before hand cars pulling out onto the street in front, thus avoiding close calls.... until tonight. On my way home from getting gas, a white Audi A6 made an illegal left turn...

Hey Guys, I've been having my eye on these Alpinestars Storm Rider gloves for a long time for the cooler late-Fall, early Spring riding we have here in Boston, but it looks like they've been discontinued by Alpinestars. After a ton of searching in the US, no website seems to be carrying my...

Hey Guys, Looks like the weather is going to be nice this weekend, at least on Saturday. Anyone interested in a mid-morning ride? Possibly considering a ride into NH since there are better roads out that way, but am totally open to suggestions from those more familiar with the roads in the...

Hey Guys, I know it's crazy last minute, but realized I have basically a day free tomorrow to go riding and the weather looks pretty ideal. Anyone in the Boston / New England area interested in going for a ride and showing me some of the better roads NE has to offer?:rockon: Rob

Finally got the bike out of winter storage today. We had an unusually warm day today in Boston. Man did it feel good to finally get back in the saddle. Any Bostonian's out there want to go riding soon?:rockon: Rob

Hey, Was on my way home today at noon after being on call 30 hrs straight and spotted a Red 2006 FZ6 parked on Mass Ave between Boston Medical Center and South Bay Shopping Center. Looked like the bike had aftermarket bar ends and some carbon fiber cans (cuoldn't see which ones). Is that...
