Are there physical motorcycle superstore locations? Also, this: Tour Master SAE Coaxial Adaptor - Cruiser Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore would be absolutely perfect. I even have a cable for my battery tender already set up. $7 too. Perfect. If only this was Star Trek and I had a...

So about 2 months ago someone stole a bag of mine off my bike and in it (long story) was the power cord to my Tourmaster Synergy Heated Vest. It was the piece that connects to the battery and you plug it into the vest when you get on. I'm going on a trip tomorrow and, of course, I had no need...

Can't go 95 in a 55 on a Vespa ;)

Bars are the worst. It's impossible to find a place to put a helmet when you're at a crowded bar...

Actually surprised this happened to you, I've been really irresponsible about my helmet at times and no one seems to ever touch it. I even left it (and a spare) unlocked on my bike once, with a backpack, had the backpack stolen, but they didn't touch either of the helmets (never did that...

No 17 year old kid should be handed an fz6 with no previous riding experience. I appreciate the idea that everyone is different, but 17 is 17. I started on it when I was 21 and I still almost killed myself on god knows how many occasions. It wasn't even about being stupid, it's about the...

I need a new fairing stay for a variety of reasons, actually. I have an 06, the 04-06 are all compatible though. The fairing stay is the piece of metal that attaches the entire front end (fairings, lights, mirrors, etc.) to the frame of the bike. Kind of looks like a uterus with ovaries...

hmmm, well if anyone else has one that'd be great. Otherwise, anyone know of a good place near Pittsburgh to pick up used parts? I don't know the area at all. Tried looking for online dealers but was pretty unsuccessful

That'd be awesome, definitely let me know. thanks

Does anyone have an extra/spare used fairing stay for an 04-06? One they are willing to sell? Would rather like to avoid shelling out the $100 for a new one...

Yeah, that was the tool that kept popping into my head when I was swearing profusely. You're probably right, not too much stuff in there that's incredibly difficult to replace. I did like that weird little socket wrench though, meant I didn't have to carry around an actual socket wrench to get...

If I didn't ride my bike literally everywhere I went, it's my only vehicle, taking my bag on and off everywhere I went would be a lot less of a pain in the ass. If it's day time or early in the night the chances of someone stealing your stuff is EXTREMELY low if you're in a decent...

So last night I went over to my girlfriend's apt. to meet her sister and have dinner with her other siblings. Wasn't supposed to spend the night so I left my battery tender and tools in a bag on my bike. My battery has been dying recently and haven't had a chance to replace it, so it was...

I agree on the wow. Wow. :-o So it seems I need a new battery. Fantabulous. They're like $5, right? ;)

No heated gear or high beams, but I don't ride it very far at a time, maybe 10-15 minutes and there is definitely some stop and go at times. I'm pretty sure it's the cold though, because I had no problems with this until winter decided to descend on Pittsburgh full force and the days when it...

I posted not too long ago concerning cold weather riding in pittsburgh, think I have a good idea as to what I'm going to be picking up in the next month to be more toasty. I have been having issues with my battery too though, and I'm curious what you guys think. I keep having a hard time...

We've gotten some flurries but nothing serious. I'm fairly well acclimated to driving in crap conditions (heavy downpours, 10 degrees and frozen roads, etc), i've ridden it as my primary mode of transport for 2.5 years now... so I'm also aware of when I need to call my g/f to pick me up ;)

I think a thick balaclava might be the way to go. I'm trying to balance convenience with warmth, a helmet skirt could be a step farther than I care for if the balaclava works well enough. The one thing that I already dislike about having a bike as a primary commuter is I can't just walk out...

Same. I would hate to have a bike that doesn't have this feature, it's very convenient.
