Availability is a bit of a problem for us...first weekend open is Jul 16. We could also do 7/23 weekend.

This little place Skipper's Pier Restaurant Crab House and Dock Bar - Deale, Maryland - Crabs Seafood Catering Waterfront Diningwas a nice destination, right on the water. A couple of pics from the trip: Southern Maryland dinner ride - Skin and Leather - photographs inspired by the racing...

I'd say meet in Annapolis, except then we wouldn't get to ride far. How about Deale? or Chesapeake Beach? Just got back from a 2-wheeled trip to Ocean City/Rehobeth. Not bad for our first overnight on the bikes.

1. you can lock them; 2. you can lock them onto the bike For example, you are on a long multi-day tour. You have all your crap in your bags traveling from one overnight point to another. You stop in the middle of the day for lunch in a quaint little town that you would like to walk around...

I got the standard Givi monokey top and side case mounts that go with the system. I think for the top case it was the FZ364 and for the side cases it was the PLXR364 mount. Bought my bags, mounts, and had the installation done at Tri City Powersports in Allentown, PA. (same place my husb...

What you do I started out as a nurse (RN-associates degree), got my BS in business (paid for by my hospital employer), started working in the OR and got involved with an IT implementation for scheduling, billing, and inventory. Went to work for a vendor (doing systems integration) who funded...

Wind effect (side to side) was a little noticeable once I got into the 70 mph range, mostly if I was following a car or truck - could feel the turbulence more, which makes sense because there is more surface to catch the wind. It was not a problem at normal highway speeds. I just hung back a...

Givi top and side cases Hi, thought I'd post a pic of the new Givi bags installed - LOVE THEM! This is the V46 top case with light kit and the V35 side cases. Lots of room, did well in the rain. Bike handles great, even though a bit more top heavy. Got to be careful not to...

Google Navigation and Scala Q2 If you have a DroidX smart phone and the Scala Q2 for bluetooth communications, be aware that the phone will work but Google Navigation will not. I am reading on forums that Google Navigation communicates using A2DP bluetooth protocol, not supported by the...

Allentown to NJMP CCS Races - ride report Part 2 Will it be the thrill of victory? above photo by Dave Woeller, DWPhotoworks--Dave Woeller ...or the agony of defeat? This rider said he started out Saturday looking like Josh Herrin, but by Sunday he was just his old self and a...

Thought I would share my ride report from this past weekend. Love, love, love my FZ6R! Enjoy! Even though the weekend weather report was a bit sketchy, I decided to ride to NJMP for the CCS races to get some more seat time and some all-weather practice before my husband and I take our summer...

Oh yeah, and to answer your question, go to CCS Forum - Index and ask one of the racers where they get their bodywork and paint jobs... some of them go through 2 or 3 sets each season! I don't want to wish for a mishap, but *when* I screw up my factory bodywork I am going to go with a custom...

It's all just tuition in the school of life :) Get a cheap used TTR125, teach her to ride, and then you're set for as long as you have her.... never regret this Mother's day. You will laugh about this in a few years.

See red if you ever head east for a tour my husband and I are interested in meeting up and touring with other fz6r owners. We each have our own '09s and will be getting a full set of givi cases, hopefully within a few weeks. I am interested in adding accessory outlets and possibly changing the...

There is a $750 Yamaha factory rebate going on now....does that price include it?
