    My daily ride to work through NYC in under 3 minutes. Queens to Manhattan via BQE/Williamsburg Bridge.

    No, actually. Sold that earlier this year and bought a 650 V-Strom. Also, no longer living in Astoria :)

    REQUEST: NYC-local FZ8 owners with aftermarket exhausts

    Kinda both. I'm not living here for much longer, so the neighbors won't be an issue forever. And frankly, I don't really give a shit about them, but I figured I might as well not be an ******* with an essentially straight pipe exhaust. I'm hoping to find a kinda-quiet, but better-sounding...

    REQUEST: NYC-local FZ8 owners with aftermarket exhausts

    Yeah, that thing was way too loud for me, Sinooch. I get up way too early in the morning to make my neighbors even more pissed at me (they think the stock exhaust is too loud). Plus, it's too loud for an all-day ride. Too much droning :/ How are you liking it?

    REQUEST: NYC-local FZ8 owners with aftermarket exhausts

    Hey guys, Any 8 owners here that live within a 'reasonable' distance from NYC and that have an aftermarket exhaust: would you be able to meet up with me so I can take some high-quality audio recordings (maybe with video, too)? I have a few motivations: 1) I'm an amateur sound engineer, I'd...

    [Poll] How many of you lane split or filter? What country/state/province do you live in? Is it legal where you live? What are your personal 'rules' fo

    I'm sure there are plenty of drivers who are jealous that I can get through traffic easier ;) The ones who actually do anything, though, are few and far between. I can only recall a few times (definitely less than 5) in the last ~3 years of serious lane splitting where a car (and one time a...

    Summary of my answers (to start some discussion): * I live in NY, I'm 25 and have been riding for 5 years. * It's not legal to split or filter in my state/city, but I do anyway. * I've always filtered as far as I can remember, but I only started being a little more 'aggressive' with my...
