Would be great for U.S. Special Forces though.

Whoa! Glad you made it out ok. I thought everywhere was self serve now? That could have been a lot worse.

My wife was driving the speed limit when some guy started tailgating her and beeping at her. He then pulled up next to her and started taking pictures with his phone. She got his plates and called the police because well, she was freaked out and I told her to call. The police said there's...

My dad is a cop and he did something similiar. He was taking my sister to school in the morning when this kid blew a stop sign and almost wrecked into my dad. He followed him into the parking lot, went to the window and said lower your window. When the kid did, he gave him his name and said...

My brother just got me some cool fieldSheer soft bags for Christmas. Their water proof and they don't require any mounting brackets. They feel like they are very good quality. I don't have them on my bike yet because it's in storage for the winter. But here our some pictures from the official...

I live in Michigan and the coldest I rode so far in was 37 degrees. I recently bought some thermals to wear under my pants and some good winter gloves. I'm trying to find my limitation. Of course I won't be riding when there is snow and Ice on the ground. My brother lives in Ohio and he...

Why leave? We kind of look at the FZ1 as the big brother to FZ6.

I would say it looks a lot like the Aprillia Shiver which is a very cool bike.

I almost got a versys before my FZ. I like both.

Are you short? Just wondering because you seem to lose balance easily. The only time I lost balance was on a full tank of gas and I stalled when I was at an angle. I went down in front of hundreds of spectators. Very embarrassing indeed. I'm about 6 feet tall and the bike feels just right.

I wonder what kind of gear they were wearing. Hear in Michigan, most cruiser guys go sleeveless. Ouch!:eek:

Glad you are okay. A harley rider just got killed up here in Michigan. He was on his Harley minding his own business and someone wiped him out from behind killing him instantly. It's something we don't have much control over. I'm constantly checking my mirrors at stops and make sure that I'm...

It was kind of any odd situation, I wasn't at an angle when I let go of the brake. Maybe I was wrong to let go. But if I didn't let off the brake, I know I would have went down for sure. Maybe you shouldn't listen to me because I'm still new. I take back my advice.:ban:

I learned, Keep even more distance than what I thought I needed, Learned to not panic when braking. I think some people panic and hold their brakes when they don't need to. I think staying loose and not trying to over control the handle bars also helped.

About 15 minutes ago I had just entered onto the freeway and was doing about 65 MPH when all in a sudden the van in front of me slams on the breaks and all I hear is squealing tires from the traffic ahead. I guess I grabbed too much brake and my bike started squealing and the back end started to...

Hopefully the FZ1 is still around in about 3 years when I want to upgrade. It's really just a FZ6 with a bigger engine and different seat. I sat on them both at the dealership when I bought my FZ6 and they felt the same to me.

Before I got my 09, I was close to buying a used 2008 that a guy was selling for $4500. It had 1800 miles on it. I called him and asked why so cheap, is there something wrong with it? He said it's in mint condition and he needs the money. My wife wanted to buy new so I got the 09 instead.

I learned in the rain. The first day of the MSF rain poured down nonstop all day. Some people went down pretty hard, but you learn to respect the bike.

I know a guy that would always wear full gear. The one day he decided not wear his jacket and pants is the same day he crashed doing 80 mph. He spent 11 days in the hospital and now refuses to get on a motorcycle.

Yeah, I didn't really even think about what I had done until later. I think I was so pissed when it happen that I just I kind of lifted it upright without putting much thought into it. If I would have thought, how am I going lift this 400lb bike by myself? then I don't think I could have done...
