    hate to do it...

    But since was stolen and dumped last year (everything fixed except right side fairing scratched up) I just don't feel the same about her. I've hardly ridden the bike since then even though nothing mechanically wrong, just doesn't feel the same. My fiance actually gets it and agrees I should...

    So on the way to work this morning...

    Most cops that ride are cool. For years I belonged to the Blue Knights ( LEO motorcycle club) since I'm retired military police but have since let my membership expire since I ride alone mostly and don;t care for group rides much. Good bunch of guys and ladies.

    I think Whatever went to the Kia Optima Forum

    I had an 04 Optima until '09, never had one problem so 3 years ago bought a Soul+ and no mechanical issues at all, bit of a harsh ride with those damn low profile tires but comes equipped very nicely w/ bluetooth, sat radio etc (never use the stupid lights in speakers though). I'd buy another...

    Might be time to give it up

    was found in nieghboring town in a back yard and they didn't arrest anyone. Must have been a multi-family and all said "I don't know how it got there" or "no habla englis" (it was Pawtucket). Will take couple months but will eventually get the money on the back taxes so maybe will get...

    How much do you pay for Insurance?

    $1044 through Geico with never a wreck or claim (didn't even claim last year when stolen, wrecked and recovered), riding since 1978. Hate Rhode Island.

    How popular is a FZ6R to a crook ?

    since mine was stolen last summer (wreck and recovered) I'd say some thieves dont even know exactly what they're taking. They popped my ignition right off like a pro. Thankfully after repairs all I have is a scraped up right side, folks probably think I lowsided it but who cares it runs just...

    1st real ride of the season

    So after getting bike back fixed since stolen and wrecked I went for the 1st real ride this year. I rode home from dealership after work was done week ago but that 34 mile ride didn't count as it was all highway. So yesterday finally got time to do a real ride, Felt great to get back out again...

    First ride - grip thickness - center of gravity

    Went from riding cruisers for 30+ years to fz6r and very different feel but much more manueverable once get used to it. I still have "chicken strips" and most likely always will. If I had ridden sportbikes earlier in life would probably be more aggressive but I'm ok with how I ride this bike. I...

    Who's a lone wolf and who's a social butterfly?

    prefer alone to just go down this road or that, whatever whim hits me. Have done bunch of group rides and charity events in the past but too stressfull making sure at right distance, on my line (left or right in staggered formation). Just really isn't any fun all that thinking LOL.

    Riding after back surgery

    Wasn't an option for me, Dr said would have to take out pretty much one side and wouldn;t work with just half a disk so whole thing out and fused and low enough down have all my flexibility. Sciatic pain gone but maybe just my imagination but when it's cold out feel like all the cold right to...
