    This is how I got from OR to TN!

    Okay so I meant to do this several days ago but I've been enjoying my vacation (read that as lazy). I left Monday the 10th at about 4:30pm local time from Portland, OR and arrived on Sunday the 17th at about 11:45pm local time in Knoxville, TN. 5.5 days was certainly quicker to do that trip...

    weird idea for GIVI luggage trade

    well, not the luggage itself but the locks. I bought a set of V35's and a E52. It irritates me that I have to carry two keys around. True, I could buy a whole set of new lock cylinders from some GIVI dealer for about $30 + shipping.... but I thought maybe some other people on the board would...

    Scorpio i900 install

    Good morning all. I spent a few hours yesterday installing a Scorpio i900. I hadn't seen anyone do any sort of install or write-up here on the forum so I thought I'd try and document the process as best I could for anyone thinking about installing an alarm or thinking about purchasing the i900...

    comment about seller maverick1970

    You know.. when you buy something online it's always a crap shoot. You have to take a seller at his or her word that what they are offering is how you invision it. I bought some Givi racks from maverick1970 a few weeks ago. I felt like the price I was paying was a reasonable one but was worried...

    Opinions on asthetics....

    So thanks to rain and a railroad track I turned the stock clutch lever into a sort of Picasso-esque work of art. I decided to go for some ASV's but was curious as to everyone's opinions.... which is more asthetically pleasing?

    NEW!! Shoei CX-1V visor in Mirrored Blue tint

    Hello fellow FZ6'ers. Because of a mistake on my part I have an extra Shoei CX-1V visor in the nifty blue mirrored tint finish (identical to what I'm using on my RF-1000). BRAND NEW IN BOX! Retail is close to $70 I think but I'm thinking like $45ish. I'm in San Diego and would prefer to just...

    I love...

    My bike! FZ6 FTW!!! Even though I've made some posts here and there I'm still a noob, both to the forum and to riding. In July of this year I got my motorcycle endorsement from the state of Tennessee without even knowing how to ride. I find this pretty scary to think about 16 year old kids...
