I finally sold my "other woman"! :( I used to be a very active member here, but I haven't been on the forums for a long while now, since I just really haven't been riding my bike much over the last couple years. I finally decided to sell her and get her to a new home with someone that will be...

A good friend of mine just passed away this evening after being involved in an accident while riding his motorcycle home from work. He was westbound on two-lane highway when an eastbound truck suddenly turned left in front of him. He clipped the rear of the truck and was ejected from his bike...

So, I was driving across the Bay Bridge heading into San Francisco a few weeks ago, and about mid-spa, west of Treasure Island, someone had done a fat 360 burn out in the middle of all the lanes! I thought, "How the hell did someone pull that off on this bridge???!!??" Well, I found the...

Just a little story I wanted to share. Lesson learned: GET A EMERGENCY PLUG KIT!!!! A couple weeks ago, I was riding home from work. It was a beautiful day in the mid 90's, so I decided to take the short scenic way home (only about 14 miles instead of 10). I was on a two lane highway...

So, originally, I bought this big ass top case off of Ebay for $65 and did a thread about how I mounted it to the passenger seat area. It's worked great there, but I haven't been able to take a passenger, plus I wanted a rear rack. Original thread...

Haven't been too active on the forums in a while, but I'm still here and still have the FZ6R. Just pulled the front tire off to take down and get new rubber put on tomorrow. (Third or fourth set now) After I took the wheel off, I decided to finally paint the silver forks, satin black. Looks...

Haven't posted in a while...but, still been lurking in the background. Any of you have/seen the Zero Gravity DB windscreen? Came across this Ebay post tonight. 2009, 09, 2010, 10, 2011, 11 Yamaha FZ6R Zero Gravity Double Bubble Windscreen | eBay

So I need to rant and vent a little. Here's my story: I commute into San Francisco every day 102 miles round trip. I ride almost every single day unless I know it's gonna rain. Anyways, I feel that I'm a pretty good, considerate, and experienced rider. I feel very comfortable splitting...

I downloaded a decibel meter app for my phone (not extremely accurate, but...) the other day to see how loud the "free" exhaust mod was. The only problem was, I didn't do a baseline for the stock exhaust before I did the mod. Anyways, I was thinking this would be a good thread for people to...

https://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/myyamaha/login/L3Nwb3J0L215eWFtYWhhL2hvbWUuYXNweA==/starthere.aspx This is a FYI. Here's a link to Yamaha's website were you can sign up for their "My Yamaha" page. Under this page, you can access the "Owner's Manual" and there is also a spec sheet that has...

I bought the case shown in the pics on Ebay for $65 delievered. The case is huge (probably about the size of the Givi 55 liter or maybe bigger) and is actually made pretty well. I was planning on making some kind of bracket for the metal base plate (that comes with it) and mount the bag over...

Coming soon to a street near you. The CHP is gettting 160 new Kawasaki Concours 14's...(if the budget ever gets passed). These will be phasing out the BMW's currently used.

Found this ad on Ebay. Haven't seen this bike on the forum, and it has some good mods. Just thought some people might like the pics of some of the mods. Yamaha : FZ | eBay

I know there are some guys on here from the Redding area, like Gearhead...but, is anyone on here from the Eureka/Humboldt/North Coast area of California? My wife may have a job opportunity in the area and we are trying to find out some information about the area.

I just came across this video on Youtube of a FZ6R. Looks like its at a salvage yard. I hope it wasn't anyone's on here, because looking at the damage to the bike, it doesn't look too survivable. Although we don't know the story of this FZ6R, I thought this video is a good reminder about...

With the holidays approaching and as I sit here xmas shopping online, I figured we should have a thread dedicated to discount codes for vendors online. I just bought my wife and myself sweet new full leather jackets from leatherup.com for $211 total for both...shipped and all! (I guess I have...

Have you guys seen this new Honda Crossrunner? Wonder if it will make it to the States. It's got the VFR800 motor in a semi-naked, upright, package. Competition with the FZ8 possibly?!? Honda Crossrunner First Look - Honda Street Bike First Look - Motorcycle USA

So I came across this Australian website today via another motorcycle forum: Laminar Lips Do any of you crazies that have made your own custom windscreens think this may work? It seems like it could be pretty easy to fab up one. Has anyone ever tried this particular product? I still haven't...

I took a nice ride yesterday around the Napa Valley and wanted to post up some of the videos. I take it for granted sometimes that there are a lot of nice curvy roads a couple minutes outside my door. This video is just a small section of Highway 121 going up to Lake Berryessa. This is a...

Here's my submission for October! Harvest time in the Napa Valley.
