Can anybody tell me why I received a package of plastic tubing with my new Puig Screen? It came with no instructions.

I did it 21 years ago this month (in a car - 9,300 miles in 13 days from Michigan). I ate Musk Ox with Eskimos - no s*it! Watched the videos, knew right where you were! Great ride. Did you go all the way to Inuvik? Anybody else??

Earlier, someone had posted about a race on the Isle of Man which led me (Google Earth Geek that I am) to zoom in on the island - besides, I always wanted to see where, "Happy Jack" lived. My interest then drifted to England and Scotland in general and I happened to go into street view to see...

Yep, the '07 FZ6 has been fun, but I'm 51 and want to try several bikes before I'm too old to ride (and that's only about 20 years off, if that). My only regret is that I waited far too long to start this terrific hobby. Anyway, I've ridden my FZ6 20K miles now have have really not done...

I think I want to get a double bubble. Where have you folks ordered them?

...well I think Hell has frozen because it's HOT here in Michigan. I'm looking for recommendations for a lightweight mesh jacket that still offers reasonable protection but much cooler than my usual gear. Anybody wearing stuff like this? 7-12-11. Many thanks to all who offered opinions...

Hello all: I'm having a heck of a time mounting my new Cal Sci windscreen. It seems to be too flat at the top for the machine screws to contact the fairing. I'm off to the hardware store now for some longer screws. My concern is that I don't want to damage the screen or especially the...

Hello all: Just learned that in two weeks my wife, her twin sister, my mother and law, and all of their / our FEMALE offspring will be conducting the annual event I've come to call, "Camp Estrogen" in Northern Michigan. Each year, I've managed to find something else to do [yep, even work] to...

Hi: I'm taking a trip this Summer - either down to Tennessee, around Lake Superior or, perhaps even out to the Bad Lands. I don't know if I'll camp, but there will be several nights spent in [most likely mom and pop] motels. I'm looking for the best way to keep my FZ protected from theft...

Would someone please explain what this device does and would it be a good addition for an FZ6? I have a friend at work with an FJR that will not stop raving about this thing. Thanks!!

Hello all: I wanted to wait and get a few hundred miles in before posting so as to be sure I got a good deal. I've been wanting to get a new seat for my FZ ever since I purchased it back in 2008 but have been putting it off due to the cost. I don't know where I came across this guy, but...

Does anybody else enjoy the, "project bike" listings on Craig's List as much as I? The latest one I saw was for a Honda CB750 Bobber, "Project". The photos contained several boxes of rusted junk surrounding a rusted frame which contained pieces of an engine (no heads mind you). The package...

Well, I just read that here in Michigan, our mandatory helmet law is due to be repealed this Summer. Riders over 21 who take a safety class, or who have carried a cycle endorsement for more than two years will be able to ride without headgear. I would guess that this would most likely appeal...

I went to a yellow (actually more like Mountain Dew) colored jacket for this season. It looks terrible, and my wife laughed when she saw it, but evidently it significantly increases my survival odds when I'm out in traffic. Went with a silver helmet as well - I'm kind of like a middle aged...

No sarcasm intended. I purchased my FZ6 three years ago while I was in my MSF class. With the exception of the 6 or so hours I spent on the MSF bike (I seem to recall it was a Suzuki 250) the FZ6 is the only bike I've ever operated). I'm reading all these posts about not starting with with a...

I know that this topic has been beaten to death, but I’ve read the old posts and got so much conflicting information that I figured I’d try one more time with some more specific data about myself hoping that there is someone about my size that has some real experience. I’m going to be...

So, I thought the BMW might come this year, however my eldest daughter will be going to Europe instead to tour with a music group and yes, kids trump bikes every time - so I'll be riding the trusty FZ6 for another season. Question, what's the best aftermarket seat for this beast? I have a 2007.

Hi all: It's time for new rubber and front brakes (and whatever else). Any recommendations as to where to go to have this done? Thanks: Jay

Hi all: Is there any way to tighten the mirrors on the fz6? Every time I hit a bump now, they both re-direct to the ground!

OK, so it's time for a new jacket and I'm shopping around. Being 50 (and having teenagers at home.....all girls.... pray for me, I know I'm just a hopeless dork so I figure, "why not get a yellow jacket" - chances are, it HAS to reduce my odds of getting killed at least a little. I offered...
