I have a child on the way, so it is time for me to part with the FZ6.
Completely stock, not abused, never dropped. I have the title. Garage kept.
I am asking 5k. I am putting it here for a bit before I decide to advertise someplace else.
I'm in south east Virginia if that is...
Without actually looking up he traffic codes for California, I'm going to say it is illegal for anyone to make a U-turn unless they are at an intersection (it is that way in VA). That puts him at fault.
Glad you are not seriously hurt!
Not a MC screw up, but here is my story.
I have been changing oil in my various vehicles for the last 30 years. A few years ago I was doing an oil change on my 4-Runner. Everything appeared to be going smoothly. I changed the oil, and put the new oil in. I started the truck up to let the...

I'm not using Simple Green to clean my chain. I am using it on my wheels and tires. If needed I will use it to clean any greasy areas of the motor/frame.
I recently tried 50% diluted Simple Green on the wheels and tires and was very impressed with the results. I have it in a spray bottle, sprayed it on the wheel and tire and wiped it off with a microfiber towel.
I have not actually washed my bike yet. It has not been driven in the rain. I...
I do it a lot of times on my commute to work, most of the stop signs have long unobstructed views of traffic.
There is California (I think) Supreme court ruling that said that you don't have to pull all the way to the stop sign and make your stop. In other words, say a car is stopped at the...
I used brake cleaner the first time I cleaned it. I have been using brake cleaner for my auto brakes for years. The disc brake assembly had rubber pistons. I have yet to have one of them fail.
So I started to clean my chain the other day, and even with cardboard on the floor it was just too messy for my tastes. So I made the following contraption.
First step: Get an old empty laundry detergent container and some tin snips (pic 1.)
Second Step: Drill a hole in the container to...
I voted yes, but I have not paid for it yet.
I have the money for it in the bank, but I did the Yamaha 6 month no payment/interest financing instead. Going to let my money continue to collect interest and pay it off before the end of the 6 months.
