    Stolen Bike: Bad News, Good News

    Thank you both. Yeah, it does suck but hopefully it will not be too long before she's ready to ride again. I'm going to look into some extra locks like Hoover. Do either of you know anything about LoJack? I'm thinking of looking more into that.

    Stolen Bike: Bad News, Good News

    Bad News: So I wake up yesterday morning to go for a ride and find that my motorcycle has been stolen. :( Good News: Four hours after I called it in as stolen, the police call me and tell me that it has been found on the side of a road about 10 miles from my house. When I went to pick it up it...

    If you want to know the truth read this!

    Kinda sucks that we need to petition the goverment for information on stuff they've got that WE pay for in the first place. P.S. the page is back up now.

    NAYSAYERS...

    I could care less about the numbers. I'll never take this bike to its upper speed limit or lowest 0-60 time. It is mad fun to ride, has more power than I'll EVER use up and cost a lot less than some other bikes out there. I honestly don't believe that most sportbike riders will ever get our...

    WEATHERMEN LIE!!!!!!!!!!

    Here in Maryland we've been getting rain left and right. I've gotten caught out in it a few times over the past month or so. Weather reports would call for no rain and it would rain half the day with me stuck about 50 miles away. It's one of the few jobs where you can have a very low success...

    Is it just me...

    Why is it that every time you read about bikes in articles or on forums some folks try to put certain bikes down because they do 5 (or so) less mph than bike X or their 0-60 is 1 mph less than bike Y? I (and most other riders that I've ever known) will never get our bikes to their actual...

    Bars & Mirrors too

    What bars are those? They look like they are lower and don't pull back as much as the stock bars. It also looks like you needed to get risers to clear the tank.

    what helmet are you wearing? why? PRO's/CON's?

    I can't compare it to a Shoei or Arai because I've never owned one of them but my Schuberth C3 is much quieter than my Icon Domain or the Scorpion Exo 400. It seals air out very well which makes it pretty quiet. I wouldn't say it's silent but it's quieter than some others The only thing that I...

    Stomp FZ1 Tank Grips

    On the US Yamaha accessories page it says: Clear Fits '06~'11 FZ1, '11 FZ8 Yamaha FZ8 Accessories, Yamaha FZ8 StompGrip™ Traction Pads So it looks like it's the same one. I almost ordered them from the dealer (I got TechSpecs instead) and when they looked up the Stompgrips it was the same...

    FZ8 mirror alternative

    I dunno about those on the FZ8 but that would look nice on the right cruiser like a Yamaha Stryker or maybe a Harley VRSC.
