    Built in helmet lock!

    I use one of these mounted to the center of my handlebar. http://www.demonscycle.com/helmets?dir=asc&mode=list&order=name I've also heard of people using gun locks. And considering most people have them laying around when they come free with your guns anyways, it seemed like a good idea.

    FZ8 Insurance Going Up

    $316 a year for full coverage here in Nashville. Not sure if i'm considered old though...31 I'm sure glad I'm not in a high bracket or state. I don't think i'd own a bike if i was paying $900 a year for insurance.

    RAM X-Grip. Which one is best?

    I have the Xgrip and Ubolt on my '11 FZ8. Safely tested up to 130 with no issues and a Galaxy S5 with case. Even slightly above the windscreen there's been no issues, the windscreen seems to do a good job of directing airflow high enough. I'll admit i was skeptical at first until i had it in...

    Tail of the Dragon - 5/25/14

    Ride at the dragon was great. Little rain on the way there, wet roads suck, but it was dry by the time we got to the bottom of the dragon. Saw one other Fz8 and one Fz9 out there. Cops were out though...we got lucky being on slow turns as they were coming by.

    Educate me on levers please

    I also have the cheapies but from ebay..same ones in red and black. They appear to be great build quality. Ridden them maybe 1500 miles or so with no complaints. I'm typically very skeptical about the cheaper versions but after seeing another review on them i decided to jump in and glad i did...

    can a FZ8 have full fairing for touring ?

    Like a couple others on here I transitioned from a yzf600r to a 2011 fz8. My comments are in line with most of the others. I have the yamaha fly screen and don't notice much wind issues at fz8 riding speeds. However i don't ride the fz8 near as fast as i rode the yzf. 70-110 is cruising speed...

    Yes please. I'm interested. Cold weather and discounts will definitely force my hand to pull the trigger.

    Transporting your bike...

    I had one of these... NEW Steel Motorcycle Scooter Dirt Bike Carrier Hauler Hitch Mount Rack Ramp on eBay! I used it i think 3 times going from Nashville to Atlanta. Each time it would take me 30+ minutes to get it all strapped up because I didn't trust that it could handle that much weight...

    What Gas should I use?

    Same here...premium is not that much more expensive for 3 or 4 gallons...and even if it's just a peace of mind its worth it..plus who doesn't tell people they run premium in their sport bike like it requires it...

    I really haven't done that much exploring. I've just got a quick 10 mile or so loop on Old Charlotte Pike in W Nashville that I hit when i've got a little time. Thinking about hitting up Cherahala Skyway/Dragon on saturday with a buddy from Atlanta pending the weather.

    I'd rather have a cage vs sliders.

    I really like the R77. My previous bike had a D&D which was ridiculously loud but sounded great. I think this sound is the perfect mix. Its loud enough that people will notice you but not too loud to annoy unless you pop the clutch and redline. My favorite thing is (apparently it happens with...

    I'd rather have a cage vs sliders.

    I bought the Givi guard and am supremely happy with it. I low sided my last bike at about 15mph and it ripped every frame slider clean off...Don't plan on trying that again but this thing is solid. I had it on in about 20 minutes with just a basic socket set and allen wrenches. pictures...

    Not a fan of most of the Yamaha dealers around. I take mine to Bellevue Cycle on Charlotte Pike. Great guys there and they're reasonable on pricing. Unlike most stealerships.

    Nashville, TN Area

    I haven't done a whole lot of riding around here for fun. Most of my trips are to work or out to the dragon/cherahola skyway in east tn/NC area. I have found one little twisty short road in west nashville that can be fun. From Charlotte Pike in W Nashville you can catch Old Charlotte Pike and it...
