    I did it Friday. I was in my car. This guy wasn't wearing helmet, no jacket, nothing. He was swerving between lanes. Cutting people off. Even decided to move from leftmost lane where he was going to turn left during a red traffic light to center lane. There was when I rolled down my window and...

I miss riding a lot! :( I know i'm lucky to be alive but my wife and I have had few discussions because she doesn't want me to ride again. I think I'll wait until Nov. or Oct and I'll get a bike. Does anyone know if Yamaha is...

    Relaxing road at North West Houston

    This one was posted online on one of those Motorcycles Road Sites, but I tested myself today. :D I was driving really slow, as my Street Triple is still in break-in period, so it took me about 4hrs, stopping only to put gas and stretch a bit (5 min stop) It basically started at North West...

    Why riders like deep sound on bike's exhaust

    Taking the "loudness" concept a side, why do you guys think that riders (I do not want to say men only, I know women ride as well) prefer a deeper note on their bike exhaust? Is that a psychological stuff? Again, not talking about how loud a exhaust system can be, but how deep it sounds...

    Please forgive me. Thinking about selling the fz6r and getting a Street Triple

    Should I? .... I initially thought in keeping both bikes, but wife does not believe she will ride the fz6r which basically does not justify keeping both bikes. Please give me arguments to keep the fz6r. Also, stupid question, I guess I can keep posting here if I own a different bike...

    Cortech Sport Tail Bag

    My new Cortech Sport Tail Bag ... :D ... I can't be happier with this tail bag. It fits really nice. Easy to mount and take it out as well. Size is deceiving. Not planning to carry on any netbook or laptop but I think you can easily put one inside, there is enough space. Sorry if...

    U-Turns and Turns when taking a ramp

    Hi, Trying to get some advice or feedback on the way I do or take turns before taking a ramp. I am not new to riding, but coming from two Ninja 250, I've found turning with my new fz6r not being as easier as before, the Ninja was extremely nimble and light. So, when I need to take a...
