    New FZ Owner

    My garage just lost a little bit more space. I picked up an 05 yesterday. So far it's exactly what I was looking for I'd say. A more upright sitting bike that still has some gittyup & go to it. All I've done so far is ride 70 miles in the rain though so we'll see after I get a few more miles...

    Hey guys, While riding in rain, what precautions do you take for visibility? Motorcycle is my only commmute and public transit sucks in Charlotte. If it rains when starting from home, I usually don't go out, but once, Siri, Google Now, and Alexa says "It is not going to rain in Charlotte...
