riding

I am in a predicament....I thought after losing weight it would be easier to find a riding suit that would fit. I am not to my goal weight yet (only about half way) so I want to find something to get me through the first part of riding season. I will be starting to ride on the track this...

Well, no surprise that it's winter here in Canada or at least where my igloo is located. The bikes have been parked since the end of October as snow seems to come a little earlier every year. Our winters seem to last 6 months, so what to do to kill the time away? Get a fat bike of course...

Hello All, A little background on me as a rider. I have only been riding for about a year and spent most of that time riding a Vrod (I know a bit strange for a first bike and honestly a bit strange as a bike but that's another subject). I inherited this bike so I am looking to buy a bike I can...

sort of..

I found this product on Amazon when looking for a lighted vest. I do a lot of night riding on the freeway and I want people to see me. The name of the Company is Noxgear. There a some u tube videos about it if you want to check it out. It wasn't made for motorcycles but it fits over my gear...

Have a 2008 fz6 and get neck and shoulder pain from the aggressive riding position with the fz1 bars put on by PO. I like the width of the fz1 bars. I would rather go with risers than fz6r bar unless it's my only option. Looking to achieve an upright riding position. What is the most rise and...

Might be riding from Miami to cape coral Friday morning/Afternoon to see some friends. Anyone in Miami or the Cape coral interested in riding or meeting up for coffee and talking mods?Blah P.S. Ill be riding back to miami 10/25 in the early afternoon <3

I am a newer rider, have about 2000 miles under my belt, all on an 07 FZ6. I love the bike, but I would like to do some basic mods on it to allow for a more aggressive riding posture. I am 6' 2", and I am wondering if there is a seat out there that allows you to sit further back, as mine is...

Hi Everyone, Just joined - been looking at FZ6s and am going to look at a potential buy later this week. I can sit on it all day and think it's comfortable and I was curious to see what some experienced riders say. I don't want to be bent over causing my lower back to ache. When I sat on it...

Hi everyone, I recently bought this FZ6 N from 2005, as my first bike. It's been used for riding on the track and has done 26000 KM (16000 miles). I test rode it and it runs smooth. What should I be aware of when riding this? As in, what might possible break when I'm riding around. Just so...

Just curious, I've been practicing with some locals here in NYC. The guys who participate ride as follows: FZ-09 Gen II SV650 EX500 KTM 450? (Not sure, its a single cylinder and looks dirtbike-ish haha) The Fizzer is definitely the heavyweight of the bunch. The last time I was riding with...

Sometimes when I roll on the throttle smoothly, my bike seems to accelerate unevenly. It will go then kind of cut out, then go again. It seems most pronounced in 1st and 2nd gear. It only happens once in a while and the engine temperature doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes it happens even...

Well I was out riding some really nice twisty roads yesterday when one of the guys who I was riding with (who I had just met that morning) threw me the keys to his brand new Street Triple R. Now normally I don't like to ride other peoples bikes, but I figured when am I going to get a chance to...

My friend / coach filmed my sessions on 9/1. I'm happy enough with my body position, but my lines are awful! I'm still having a hard time overcoming street riding approach, where I typically practice delayed apexing. :rolleyes: I know what I need to work on and most of the places where I'm...

I recently bought a cooling vest for riding in warm weather. I kept putting off giving it a try. I was concerned about it turning into a wet t-shirt contest. lol. I wore a black t-shirt just in case. After lunch, I went into the ladies bathroom and socked it in the sink (I know....eewww....)...

A new Facebook group was created to connect riders from the DC, Maryland and Virginia area. There is a lot of motorcycle owners/fans out there, whether new or veterans, who ride alone. Anyone from the DMV area please consider joining this group. It's free and I am certain that we can expand...
