Haven't done this before but I really couldn't help to want to share this with you guys. I headed from Susanville, CA (my hometown) to Redding, CA (where my dad lives) yesterday. I've always just taken Hwy 44 straight here but I decided to go see the Lassen Volcanic National Park on my way down...

Well tomorrow morning I am headed to MCRD San Diego to begin my recruit training in the Marine Corps. Should be a very challenging and rewarding experience!

First off I would like to say thank you very much for everything you do serving. Secondly, I am planning on enlisting in the United States Air Force in the next few months. So.. I have a few questions for those serving and those that have served, regardless of branch. I'm looking for...

Well even though its not really riding season up here anymore I'd like to try and get my bike lined out for next year so I don't have to waste riding time working on it. On the last few rides I went on, my shifting has gotten worse and worse. When I downshift the shifter does not return and...

Alright this will probably be a pretty long post so here we go... I'm currently working for a company in carson city. I have been there for 6 months now. I'm doing tig welding on cast stainless aircraft and nuclear power plant parts. I'm getting paid very poor as far as a tig welding job...

Now that I'm starting to push my bike harder, i'm noticing how slow the suspension is through corners. My brother has a gsxr 600 and it is incredible the difference in handling. I feel like I can take corners on his bike at the same speed as mine with my eyes closed. I'm not really up for doing...

Well I decided to take my bike out since I haven't ridden it for a couple weeks due to the cold weather at night. I was on my way to my friends house when a big white suburban goes to pull out right in front of me, nearly hitting me, so naturally I honk my horn and give him a "nice hand...

Took a long ride this weekend and noticed something. I could describe it as a... pinging, clicking, clunking, thumping sort of thing. Its coming from the rear of the bike when I let off the throttle fully. Clutch in or out doesn't affect it. I feel a repetitive light clunking in my footpegs...

I'm wondering what everyone has experimented with as far as putting r6 parts on their fz6. I was looking at one tonight at a friends house and noticed there are a lot of similarities. I'm wondering if maybe the rearsets would fit, or even just the brake and shifter levers?? The parts guy down...

Found out my forks are tweaked to I need to pick up some new or used ones. Anyone have a good set for sale? Oh and the tail section frame too.

Just wondering if anyone is coming up to reno for street vibrations. Its pretty crazy most of the time. I'm not positive when it is for sure but I know its soon. Also the Air Races are this weekend for anyone close, awesome event to see.

What do you guys think? IMO, I don't like the new fz6r, too much body work, half gallon less in the tank, weighs more a little more, looks like a damn gsxr, and doesn't seem to have the same features as the fz6 like adjustable preload on rear shock, or 4 piston calipers up front. Oh and no...

Just rode down to Folsom from Reno last night and back up today. Reno is about 4400 feet in elevation. Folsom is on the valley floor. When I got down there last night I left from a stop light and opened it up. I glanced over at a car and looked back and my front end was coming off the ground...

Well yesterday was a big day for me... Got my alarm system, tail bag, covers and air filter yesterday! Went to work. I was on my way home doing about 50 on a split 4 lane w a median in the center when i saw a deer crossing the road heading my way. My instant reaction was to grab the brakes...

Well... I took the test today and passed!! I was docked 5 points total. 3 for nicking one cone and 2 for not stopping quickly enough. Good enough for me!! The funny thing is, they test you on all this stuff while going no faster than 15 mph. Since when are you riding around town weaving through...

I passed my written test for my permit which allows me to ride with certain restrictions... I'm going to be taking the riding test next week... What should I expect??

Here was my situation today. I was heading home on a back road. This area has houses few and far between. Speed limit was 45 MPH. Im following a large suv doing 40 mph down the road. He seems to be in his own world, I notice him looking at the scenery and drifting on 3 feet over the double...

Just wondering what chain everyone uses, if you have replaced it. Or what you plan on replacing it with. Size?

whats the difference?? anyone know?

Just got my front signals in the mail today.. I was pretty excited until i saw that the new ones wont fit the bracket.. so I will have to make a plate or something for it to mount on. Also... The stock blinkers have 3 wires while the new ones have 2.. what do I do here??
