Managed to replace my battery just in time for a quick cold snap. As the weather warmed up later in the week, I noticed a small amount of oil on the floor just to the right of the front tire. I believe that it leaked out of the right front strut since I could feel a little bit of slickness in...

Just wanted to give props to Yamaha Suzuki West in Fort Worth on Hwy 183 (just south of I30). I was calling around trying to find the best price on some Pilot Road 2's and trying to decide between mail-order from motorcyclesuperstore.com and local purchase. Service manager made the decision...

After seeing the thread with the cheap Sears trunk cases and then FZ1inNH's thread about pillion mounting, I decided to give it a shot and see what I could come up with. I took the back part of the cover off of the seat and put one 5"x7" piece of wood underneath the cover (cut out seat foam...

wechoosethemoon.org Didn't see it posted so I thought I'd let you all know it's going on. The Kennedy Library is replaying the Moon Landing in it's entirety at We Choose the Moon: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. The Eagle has just undocked!

11" is definitely an improvement over 9". Several months ago I ordered the Large version of the CalSci windshield and was very pleased with the wind protection that the screen provided. Unfortunately, the windshield put the aristream right at my helmet level (I'm 6'0"), and as a result...

Now I know that the FZ6 is no Goldwing, but I have begun riding the bike to work (when the weather cooperates) and have uncovered an unexpected glitch. When going out for lunch, it is customary to get a drink refill to take back to work for the afternoon. I hadn't considered that there's no...

I'm a newish rider and have limited myself to weekend riding until my confidence level increased enough to deal with rush hour traffic. Well, this morning, the nice weather inspired me to do the morning commute on the bike. Although the winds were a bit gusty, and a couple of cars/trucks...

In case noone else had noticed, there's a guy selling his '05 FZ6 part-by-part on ebay right now. Looks like there might be some good deals if you have the need. Unfortunately, shipping starts at a rather pricey $13.75/per and he doesn't mention whether he'd combine. The dude's feedback...

I'm a longtime Steeler fan that's still smarting over yesterday's loss, so I thought I'd share the following story that I saw on an NFL forum ... A conversation between a New England Patriot and their child: Patriot: 'Hi son how was school today?' Son: ''Good Dad, I got an A on my spelling...

Been reading wrightme43's Bar posts and thoroughly enjoying them, so I thought I should give something back ... "For those of you who love air shows. This sequence is interesting in that the “sneak streak” that the Blues do was caught by the photographer as solo 5 flew across the San...

... that there were supposed to be two hoses sticking out near the centerstand. I was prepping the bike for my first relatively long outing (200 mi) tomorrow morning when I noticed two errant hoses sticking out of the bottom. After searching for the place to reconnect them, I realized that...

Has anyone installed the SW-Motech crash bars? Do they look terribly out of place on our clean machine? I was considering them since it seems they would provide a lot more protection than frame sliders if you put the bike down while moving. Might also be a nice alternative footrest on a...

Newbie with an '07 blue, so I've been going out and finding roads with a couple of curves to practice on. Sunday morning, I was returning from my third time out on the bike. I was cruising ~70 mph on a highway when I saw another sportbike (had a big "R" on the side, but wasn't an R1)...
