road

I was going down the street not too fast but probably faster than I should have being that there was snow on both sides of the road. The road itself was clear and as it was two blocks from my house I had been down the same road multiple times today and all was ok those times so I guess I was...

I'm planning a ride in a couple weeks. A couple of you mentioned a road off of Highway 36 and/or Highway 299 in Northern California and I was wondering what the name of the road was. I'm thinking of heading from Happy Camp to Willow Creek on Highway 299. I'd like to cut down to HIghway 36...

Went on a 1500 mile 3 day trip to N. Cal. Hwy 36 between Red Bluff and Fortuna Ca its one of the top rated, if not #1 motorcycling road in the west. It did not disappoint, it had huge dips in the road where you can get air born if you're not careful, high speed sweepers, and real tight turns...

I just resurrected a FZ600 this weekend...noticing that when I turn the bike it really wants to turn into the curve. (Turn right and you need to keep pressure on the right grip or the bike will turn in on itself). I've ridden BMW road bikes on the street - this is my first non German road bike...

Finally using it for work. Liking the pilot road 4's

In Austria there have been some new (oval) road markings appearing, these are supposed to stop bike riders hugging the centre lines in the bends, which apparantly is a cause for many accidents in Austria. Here's the (German) story. Neue Bodenmarkierungen für Motorradfahrer « DiePresse.com

Hello everyone, Just recently purchased a 2006 fz-n. I want to upgrade the exhaust, what one do you recommend, the ones I've seen aren't road legal, so I'd like a legal one and not too expensive. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks.

So after 3 years of riding, I have finally decided to go on a road trip with a friend. We will go from Chicago to New Orleans, stopping in Nashville (2 nights) on the way down, then spend 3 nights in New Orleans and Memphis (1 night) on the way back to Chicago. We have booked our places in...

My insurance, since I only have 3rd party or liability does not offer road side assistance. I'm normally out 100+ mile radius from home. Suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hit the Sierras this Saturday, just a quick 200ish mile ride. This was the first time that I really had a chance to see what the Multi could do. Hwy 49 was the right road to find out. I guess I was in Doug's(Red Wasp) backyard . The Ninja 900 has 99k miles and the BMW1000R is new, just 1400...

Well me and 3 friends of mine got thinking and we all thought it would be great to plan a 4 day trip to Normandy (From North Holland). It will be 1 day ride to get there (with a break and/or a bit of minor road riding), 2days riding around the area and then the trip home (also with a stop off...

Hey All! A few months ago y'all were very kind in welcoming me and giving me advice on how to handle my new FZ6. Unfortunately, it's now half of an FZ6. The skinny of it is a pedestrian ran out in front me crossing a five lane road, and I was met with the classic "squirrel crossing the...

Picked this up last week. Immediately replaced all of the fluids and plugs. Took it out today for a canyon trip to scrub the edge of the tires in. Wasn't a great day. The road I picked (a new one for me) was damn awful. Literally everything that could've gone wrong with the road did. Piles...

Some idiot U-Turned out of traffic on me a few months back (7th December to be precise) and wrote off my other bike, injuring me (not too badly but enough I still feel it a few months later) and denying it. We’ll be taking this one to court I expect, me and the solicitors, for personal injury...

Wanna play some fantasy league? Why yes, you do! It's tradition! This year it's MotoGP, WSBK and BSB once again. To sign up: MCN Fantasy Road Race 2016 There is a mini league for the FZ6/600 Riders forum members (FZ6 Forum Legends) to compete with each other. The site has changed a lot so...

Hey, Just got a 2005 fz6 the other week, 30k kms, never dropped. Love the bike, looking forward to being part of this community. Anyways.... On my 3rd or 4th ride I almost lost control when the front wheel began to wobble extremely violently during hard acceleration. Luckily I backed off...

Did you see the missile test Sat. Nov.7, 2015. Where were you? Where was it in the sky from your location? Approximately what time did you see it? My wife and I saw it while driving and pulled off the road to watch it.

Hey folks! Figured I'd share the good news in that I found a wicked deal on a bike - and will be back on the road next year. Got a local 2002 CBR600 F4i with 30,500 miles for $3000! It's had a full service done, including valves, oil/filter, plugs, etc. Comes with a new chain, sprocket (steel...

The Subie goes into the shoulder and raises very fine silt. What happens after, that many may not pick up on, but we as riders will see right away is the bike that looses the rear for a short and recovers with out incident. You can see the rider perplexed by what he slid on. I know this first...
