I get on here between treating patients and doing reports. I am the boss so it doesn't matter! :rockon:

I was riding with a buddy of mine once. We had 3/4 helmets on. When I glanced over at him, he looked like a cat trying to cough up a hair ball! After a few seconds of these convulsions, he spit a wasp out! After we stopped, I found out that the wasp had stung him on the back of his throat...

I got hit in the throat by a big dragonfly once. It hit just below my "Adams apple". One of his legs had just penetrated the skin and I had to pluck it out.

I find this thread interesting. My 17 year old son has two years of riding street bikes under his belt. Not a lot, so I don't expect him to over evaluate any bike. He goes by feel and his personal perception. He has been riding his Ninja 250 and my FZ6. As I write this he has my FZ6 with...

I too have a concealed carry license. I will carry if the places I go allow it. I do not break any laws and no one will know that I have a weapon on me. I carry not because of wildlife, but because of bad people. A bear would just about have to be chewing on my leg before I would shoot it...

I guess the closest I have come to lane splitting is several times where a cage is in the right lane at a red light waiting to go straight, the cars wanting to turn right can't because he didn't leave enough room, so I slip to the right of everyone (if enough room), pull up to the light (right...

LOL, I didn't think of it that way! :thumbup:

I have dropped other bikes that I have owned, but not my FZ6. Yet

I believe there was some considered legislation to make it legal, but I believe it never made it out of committee. Even if it was legal here in Texas, I doubt if I would do it. Texas drivers have a tendency to be very aggressive! In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, someone using their turn signal...

This thread makes me think of the last time my wife's brother was visiting. I am not an expert rider, but have been riding street bikes for 44 years. I have even raced some when I was a teen. My wife has ten years of riding under her belt. Well, her brother's riding experience is riding his...

She suggested trading bikes for the trip home, but I knew she hates to have her head buffeted in the wind. She has a big windshield on her bike that protects her well, and even though I have the bigger windshield on my FZ6, she still would have felt it in the high gusty winds we had last...

Thanks, It's a nice bike. She has no trouble keeping up with me and it has done well for her. She has been on some week long trips on it and it has been very reliable. She has only had one "wreck" on it, She hit a motorcycle cop. But it was his fault. He pulled out in front of her. She...

My wife and I realized that it has been almost a year since we had taken off work, went out of town, and actually spent the night somewhere other than someone's home! So, making last minute plans, we both took last Friday off, dusted off the bikes, and went to the Texas Hill Country. The last...

I too do it all the time. Usually when entering a freeway. :shakehead::rolleyes:

I have dropped many a bike, just not this one. yet :rolleyes:

I would be afraid to wear silk underwear. I would probably slip right off the seat!!!:eek: Oh, wait, you mean under our regular clothes!:p

It depends what kind of mood I am in at the time.

LOL Like it!

Chuck Yeager, the famous test pilot and first man to fly faster than the speed of sound, says that he knew he could die. There was no denial for him. He did not allow himself the luxury of denial. This acceptance of reality can cause fear, but it is a healthy, controlled fear that will keep you...

Oh great, I used to only worry about mountain lions when mountain climbing! Now a big a** bird!!!
