    Not that I expect this, but what happens to those who have prepaid if we don't hit the magical 20? I imagine we'll have the choice between refund or paying an additional bump to cover the non-discounted rate? Not trying to put a hex on this, but I figure the question should be asked just in case

    What preload setting do you use on your stock shock?

    I'm 220 and have always gone with the stock preload while riding alone. It's always felt fine, but maybe I'll do a bit of experimenting when I start riding again in the spring (stuck out of the country till December... Not a great month to be riding in the midwest :-()

    Seriously!! How do you not even break in the engine first??? It was just a straight shot on the highway, but the sheer joy I felt exploring those previously off-limits RPMs for the first time... My god, it was glorious

    What preload setting do you use on your stock shock?

    I've never messed with the front suspension, but the rear is pretty simple. Check your owner's manual. There is a wierd shaped hook looking tool in your kit that you use to adjust the preload. As for the rebound damping, there's a screw accessed under the bike on the left side. I believe it's...

    Can an FZ8 handle Two People okay?

    I've ridden a few hours with the gf on my 8 as well without real issues. Once the lady got more comfortable as a passenger it made the ride a lot nicer for the both of of us. If your passenger can extend her arms forward and brace against the tank when you decelerate, it takes a lot of the...

    Range Rover VS bikers...

    I don't really have much to add here, except to throw one more name in the hat. I'm lucky to live in an area without ass hats like these, where my biggest complaint is that motorists are TOO considerate (ie, weird unpredictable shit like yielding right of way when the law says it's theirs). This...

    Need some advice

    Well damn :-[. As much as everyone here wants desperately to see the look on douche-cop's face when he saw the camera ourselves, I guess you should probably listen to your attorney. Hey though, if you do happen to change your mind... Don't forget to post the link! :-D. Good luck, brother

    Just took my first ride. Impressions/questions.

    I'm 6'2" and also ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs. Most comfortable way that I've found to ride. WRX? Good man! That and the FZ8 make a pretty fun combination ;-)
