    What would you "upgrade" your FZ6 to?

    After I added a ZX-6rr to the stable, my FZ6 was my tourer/commuter. Eventually replaced it with an 800GS. I miss the FZ's top end power, but around town the torquey-twin makes life easy. It's a bit better off-road too :)

    Cycle World Project Re-Cycle -my old FZ6

    Yeah, it would be a great opportunity for someone here. The first auction was an amazing deal for whoever got the KLR. It went for under $5k and was a nicely-prepped budget adventure bike. I bid on it, but decided to go the F800GS route instead (new bike still needed to crunch fast hwy miles...

    Cycle World Project Re-Cycle -my old FZ6

    Just wanted to post this up for you all to check out. I sold my FZ a month ago to Bikebandit.com for Cycle World's Project Re-Cycle so they could turn it into a streetfighter and auction it off for charity.

    Jan 29 ride....Hwy 33 or ACH

    Thanks, sax. Turns out I had my service intervals confused so no need for valves yet, but I just found out my parents will be visiting that weekend so now I might not be able to make it. I'll keep my eye out for the ride details in case I can keep my morning/afternoon free.

    Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle

    I saw that too, cool video. I love how they use a gopro on an R/C car that goes 80mph! Must be nice to get paid to play with toys like those, haha.

    Cops vs. Sportbikers - good article

    I kinda agree with you, Signal, but I think aside from those two paragraphs I thought the article said a lot of things that riders in general are/should be concerned with. I think the author went a little hard on the vets (and the stabs at LEO officers), but I see where he's coming from. I...

    Cops vs. Sportbikers - good article

    NorCal ride to see SoCal gang 8/20- 8/22

    Haha, I would be a fool to think I might have gotten away without it ;) I'm starting something tonight. I think I cleared enough hard drive space to work on one more project, so we'll see what I can come up with. :iconbeer: :sinister:
