Hi all, So did a rally this weekend to Nevada and after a bit of speeding through the desert pulled over and was unable to downshift past 4th gear. It seems that there is no spring in the shift lever below 4th, can shift into 5th and 6th just fine and back down to 4th but the shift lever...

I used to donate whole blood regularly but I am O- so I started doing Apheresis donation instead, they can get more stuff that way. It feels really odd and takes a couple of hours but good to know that cancer and burn patients can use your platelets.

The seat is a French brand, BLG Sellerie, blg-sellerie moto was on the bike when I bought it but its mighty nice and comfy compared to the stock seat!

In the San Francisco Bay Area we have a great and very active motorcycle website Bay Area Riders Forum BARF for short. Its not specific to any brand of bike and you get all kinds of folks posting and meeting up for rides or social gatherings and its a kick to chat with a fellow rider and...

Welcome and congrats! I too had a 650SVs which I would probably still have it it wasnt ripped off by %!*@&%)^ and friends, I loved it and miss it but luckily have a roaring sexy replacement :) If you have a stop planned in the SF bay area on your trip let me know, always have a comfy sofa...

The bike had the Devil pipes installed already when I bought it. I get a kick out of the sound, I giggle every time I start up this throaty monster. I am also giggling like an idiot any time I let off the gas and coast a bit downhill, sounds like a big boat motor gurgling. The prior owner...

Hi Pete! Welcome home warrior! And welcome to the board!

HA if that is what he has under the tree to unwrap on Christmas day no wonder he's excited for the 25th! Early Merry Christmas wishes to you all!

Yes the toys typically are crappy, but I must say ingenious engineering for how they break them down to fit in that little toy, pod, capsule thinger. I now know more than I ever wanted to know about Kinder eggs, they dont make the same toys in each country and the only one I could see that...

Since I live in the lovely US of A, my government protects me from a terrible death by banning the import of the very dangerous Kindersurprise chocolate egg. I am unable to purchase these disgusting chocolate eggs with the snazzy toy inside anywhere in the 50 states. But I have a problem, I...

That cat is SO not enjoying itself! Poor thing lol Cant find the urge to watch the barfing in 0 Gs but the flying dog is pretty funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtnXWwzn368

Welcome and congratulations! :D:Sport::D

So sorry to hear about your friends tragedy, I doubt there is anything you can do or say to them to help, but probably just being a good friend and available to listen is what they need. I cannot imagine the guilt the mom is feeling.

Dont know if this is a repost but even if it is, its good for another giggle :) Wish I could understand what the fellas in the car were saying, probably where can I get one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cCvhXXlG-I

Gerbings!!! Heated gear is a godsend in the cold and really easy to install the wiring harness on the FZ! I was able to ride in 29 degrees F and not even a chill. Gerbing's Heated Motorcycle Clothing

Well not having the luck to grow up around bikes I had to wait until I dated a fellow who had a moto shop, he taught me to ride on a little 150 cc scooter something and then I graduated to a Ninja 250, week later I was up in the twisties and totally bit by the bug. He had an old GPz that I took...

Wow, front end looks like the terminator after being dragged under a bus! That poor bike. Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome ChrisIW! Good choice with the FZ!

Well speaking as someone who had a 650 SVs (stolen :( ) prior to the FZ I have experienced both worlds. They are completely different machines, the torque of the SV was definitely there in the low end whereas you need to coax the RPM's up on the FZ. I am still getting used to the engine of the...

Welcome Duffy! Hope you get in some quality riding time before the roads get icy! Your hockey team just picked up my all time favorite player Owen Nolan, lucky dogs :P Go Sharks! :)
