    Just joined the uncool kids club

    Taking the MSF next month and I want to have all my gear ready for the riding portion. I actually brought my bike first and just got my temp plate today. Not riding yet cause I don't know how. So anyway in my search for protective gear I decided to settle on hi viz. Here in Decatur, IL it seems...

    Thanks for the love guys. I did try looking for a date and there isn't one to be found on either tire. She sat for a long time from the looks and needs oil on the chain. Edit: I don't like the flush front signals how do I get a pair of the oem stalks without breaking the bank?

    I can wait to ride it, got her tucked in a corner in the garage while I get my act together. I've had my fill of having my cake and eating it too if you catch my drift. I've got my starter jacket but no helmet, gloves or boots and on top of that I have no skills. The only reason I have the bike...

    6,000 miles on the odometer and I'm proud to say that I own the bike now for $3000 out the door. Had a coworker ride it home for me. Not a bad score for me they go for $5000 before the man takes his cut around here.

    To my understanding someone that rides without the proper gear. I don't know if it's an honestly valid term as I've only heard it referenced on vlogs with regard to riders that are in the know or at least come off that way.

    Thanks for the advice Vegas. If I told you the price I was offered on it you may not be quick to pass up the deal. I'm a newbie not a squid. I've got my gear lined up and wouldn't even consider riding without it. I've been doing some serious research on all the gear I would need and I plan on...

    My name is Q and I'm trying to get this 2009 FZ6R from the auto dealer I work for. I don't know the mileage right now but I can find out tomorrow. Anything I should be aware of from looking at the pics. Looks like the bike was dropped in a driveway on both sides. Forks are clean, the controls...
