Dangit. S.Jobs has me by the nuts... again! I'll be pre-ordering on 6/15 along with the rest of the lemmings. Sigh. What color? Anyone care for a white 16GB 3Gs iPhone in about 3 weeks? :D

I guess they should sue Yamaha then, for advertising that the motor is based off of an R6 motor, heavily detuned. Why, Yamaha must have even tried to mislead people with the same displacement! All I'm saying is... Alabama AND sportbike forum...

That Minnesota heat must be much more gentle than the super humid heat I have here! SoCal heat > TN heat... :(

I'm kinda with Detrich on this one...$8 over $100K/yr for instance... that's a rounding error... It really depends on the scale of things. I'd let my employer slide if they accidentally dropped $8 from my paycheck. Hope they don't, but $8 isn't really worth the hassle in the grand scheme of...

Yup, I was one of those who didn't read carefully, bought the HF aluminum stand + paddle adapters. Whoo Nelly, took half an hour to get the paddles dislodged to get my bike back down! Not counting the fact that the paddles were bent after one use! Spools might work, but as has been mentioned...

I agree w/ JonKerr--exactly the same here... Dainese perf leather jacket w/ optional CE spine armor for everything under 90 degrees. Over 90 degrees and I take the S2000 w/ its air conditioning. :D I do also have the Phoenix 5.0 (first armored jacket I ever had), but learning more about the...

Check out this link... it's better than the one I got (installation-wise)... http://www.fz6r-forum.com/forum/f89/fz6r-integrated-tail-light-18664/

Hmmm... could Hypropro do a yellow spring, for instance? Or is it black vs. purple only? I've found that my red spring just doesn't match the bike so well...

Shogun makes two types of sliders: cut-type sliders that are like $35, then no-cut sliders that are about double that. I *think* fatbikez.com may have both available... My local dealer could get either, and matched the fatbikez.com price on my no-cuts.

Great install! Didn't want to do the BMW-style connector??

WenMark--you could get a Street Triple "R" in which case, you could keep the "R" designation... :D In all seriousness though, thanks for that post. I had been eyeing a Speed Triple but was concerned about the lack of wind protection that you mentioned. I see you already optioned it out a bit...

I had looked at the OGK as well, reading the webbikeworld review. However, if your standard Barney Fife of a cop looks at my helmet, and doesn't see "DOT" on it, I know it'll just be my luck to get a ticket! :(

"Prius driver" said it all... those are the ones who just don't think their mess stinks...

I love my FZ6R and all, but there's still one part of me still jonesin' for a Ducati Monster (796 most likely, though the 1100 really catches my eye), or a Triumph Street Triple R in Blazing Orange... Neither are cheap enough for me to qualify as "incidental," nor are their riding positions as...

I wanted to like the Shoei RF-1100. Tried it on, then found out I hated it. Chin bar's wayyy too close to my lips. Poor fitment on my rather long-ovaled head! :(

I also have a HJC with an integrated sunvisor; it's an IS-16 IIRC. I actually stack the tints: I'll don my (prescription) sunglasses, then also rotate that integrated sunvisor down. The two together really knocks down glare quite well. There was one other guy on another forum I'd read about...

Hairdryer + Turtle Wax Bug/Tar remover.

Great photos! Thanks for sharing!

No issue. That video I posted, that was this past Saturday afternoon. Sunday was cleanup. Same road was open by Monday morning. All 3 interstates thru Nashville are now open for business! The only main places affected (that a visitor might want to visit) is downtown Nashville, and the Opryland...

It turned out to be either no problem or horrible, depending on where one lived. I'll have to remulch my front planter; others have completely lost their homes & vehicles. Hellacious rain though; never seen waters like that...
