i've dropped a couple of times. never riding. always from coming to a stop too quickly. once i did it at a gas station packed with people. self-served humble pie? :D also, pics!

it's a 5-hour trip....i'd cage it. if i were closer, i'd definitely take the bike :)

Moving from MD to Los Angeles today, and I'm going to do my damndest to see a MotoGP event. Anyone interested in meeting up at Laguna Seca?

Hey guys, I'm moving across the country in a week, and traded in my FZ6R for a different bike. I'm just getting around to posting this (if only I had done it sooner rather than later :\) What: Full set of Givi Monokey Racks - 364FZ, PLXR 364, and M5 mounting plate including all hardware (I...

nah, i checked out cycletrader and MHKS had the lowest price within 100 miles. it was 92 miles from my house (about a 2hr ride :))

yes sir it is - i made two trips there. 1 to scope out the deal, and the second to pick up the bike :) other than givi racks and throwing on some extra lights, i dont really have any desire to mod it. i don't see much reason to.

absolutely - kawis should be green and yamahas should be blue! :D as for moving from 600 to 1000..i was a little apprehensive at first - so the first thing i did was ride around in the parking lot across the street. the engine's response was very linear and very predictable. now, if you...

pics up, plus walkaround: 2012 Kawsaki Ninja 1000 ABS walkaround and startup - YouTube

For a 2012 Ninja 1000 ABS (not to be confused with the ZX10R) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEoV2Ln9WhM&feature=youtu.be it's awesome. power and torque in basically every gear at any RPM. very comfortable. power delivery is linear and smooth. VERY responsive to steering input. i...

if by "cleaning" you mean "riding" then yes :D otherwise, no :\

i'm kinda surprised that people don't go for just about any faired bike. maybe bike thieves are a little more picky? :p

thanks! :D:D:D

the trick is finding a place with a garage. PITA :P

:)

Moving from Maryland to Los Angeles, CA. Got an engineering job in the Playa Vista area and need a place to live, preferably within 10-15 minutes travel time (not 405 travel time :P) would really really really really like a garage to store a car and bike. I'm actually hoping to commute on...

on short rides, no. on longer rides, i'll bring a water bottle with me.

my passenger usually wears one of my jackets (full leather or leather/textile), leather motorcycle gloves, and a full-face helmet (all depends on which of my 3 I wear, haha). really should replace two of my helmets though and just grab another HJC. great helmets for $100, but i'd really love...

holy crap, glad you are coming back so strong! and way to rock that back brace ;)

can i throw myself into this thread as well? 12,000 miles Givi PLXR364 side rack Givi 364FZ top rack SW-Motech Center Stand Spiegler Stainless Steel Brake Lines (front and rear) some scratches on the mirror housings and a VERY small chip on the right fairing from being GENTLY let down to the...

i'm rocking Dunlop SQ2's. used them for a track day and they were great. i probably could have pushed the bike more than i did. can't wait to hit the track again :) btw, stick with 160/60/17. yamaha designed the bike with that tire size for a reason. if it were better to go to 180 or 190...
