This is a sobering story - I hope you fully recover physically and mentally so you can ride again soon. I would have hoped that 18-wheelers (being professional drivers) would be less of a risk but maybe it's a visibility thing, fatigue issue, or something else. Anyway, no excuse for running...

Where does my girl sleep? She's dressed in an official Yamaha FZ6R cover, rolled into her own dedicated 5'X8' shed and locked. The shed is inside my garage. The garage is inside my house. I may be a little over-protective...:cool:

Nice! I want to do that next.

Super big shout out to 2416ryan for the helpful proton flush mount install vids he made for the forum on here....:thumbup:

Put my Proton flush mounts on - yea!!!! She already looks faster and happier! :)

Happy happy for you! There's a lot of cr@p news out there in the world.....so I'm glad to read about someone having something go well for them....ride on man! :thumbup:

Dang how I wish I could ride like that....:wav:

Ngengs-- sorry dude but I'm gonna harp a little stronger...no offense intended but ....you have a responsibility to yourself, to all of us riders, (and cagers for that matter), to report this driver ASAP. Who knows - maybe he's caused wrecks before and will again.... You've had a few days...

Good to here that nothing 'worse' happened to you - I think you handled it well. I do like Detrich's advice to get behind him (with a GoPro if possible!), turn off or avoid completely in any way. We have our fair share of idiots here in LaLa land and I just have to shake my head when I see how...

Nope, I got it too....oh great, now I got it stuck in my head.....

4,000 mies and counting! Got my 4k mile service taken care of. Maybe it's my imagination but she rides like she really appreciated it (new oil, filter, chain cleaned, cables lubed, etc...). Saved enough $ to order Protons flushmounts as a reward. (Yes, I am the slowest 'modder' on here it...

I am going to bleed mine down to 33/36 first thing in the morning!

Nismos - you've got me thinking tire pressure. I am loaded up at about 195# when geared up with backpack etc.... I keep my front at 35, rear at 40. I have no idea if that is appropriate but just going by the manual. I have noticed it is a different handling bike when under-inflated (as...

Ouch - that sucks...sorry to hear bout that. I'm always paranoid when lowering my bike. Did you have the kickstand down? Just wondering...

Spotted a (slower) blue one today - Torrance, southbound on Crenshaw around 8:15am...I was in traffic on cross-street Torrance blvd so couldn't wave/say hi.
