    Lesson Learned

    That's me as well - I never leave anything with the bike. There is one exception - when I ride the Dragon and stop at Deal's Gap, the destination for everyone riding this route. There I along with everybody else leave just about everything on the bike, helmet, jacket, gloves, etc. Nothing but...

    Regular Unleaded vs Premium Unleaded?

    You said it exactly. There is absolutely NOTHING to gain from using premium fuel in a car, truck or motorcycle, that calls for regular gasoline. Unless their vehicle has been modified anyone who says they notice a difference is only imagining it. The FZ6R calls for regular - why pay a lot...

    The Fighter

    Yeah but "The Town" was a very good movie. The wife watched it with me and even she said it was good and she doesn't say that about very many movies. I'm hearing a lot about a "chick" flick that is currently playing and is gaining momentum. Said to be one that the guys will enjoy alongside...

    Please post about your mishaps here

    I had rather get stung by any bee or wasp other than a yellow jacket. They are so small but pack such a wallop. It's the only one I run and I do mean run, away from. Most others I walk thru them or just swat them away. David

    Need advice

    Where is the USAA bank located? The best method is for both of you to go to the bank as has been suggested in several previous posts. You pay the bank and the bank gives you the title while you're there. I have done this with a couple of cars. Works great. David

    Question before purchasing this particular bike online

    Even having it shipped you're taking a chance. You're buying without looking it over personally or riding it. You are taking the word of the seller that it's in good shape. You may get a great bike or you may not. Your call but I would never buy without first riding the bike unless it was a...

    Oil light come on (for no reason?)

    Quick conversion kilometer to mile - multiply kilometers by .6 and you have your miles i.e. speed limit in Germany is 100 kph x .6 = 60 mph. David

    What Not To Wear (while riding)

    Absolutely correct. It's done on the Dragon by several different companies. They usually take a couple of days to show up on their website and then you can preview for free, even download if you don't mind the website name written across the picture. If you want one or more you order and pay...

    Wow banned from the ninja forums

    Nice bike. Could tell by the pic that it is probably Florida. You live in Orlando - ever go to Walt Disney World? Most people I know (wife has family in Melbourne) who live in the area don't go much if at all. The family and I however (live in Tennessee) absolutely love it. We have gone...

    Wife drop

    I second that. That's how my wife got started. BTW a good starter bike for a "little" woman is a used 250 Ninja. Knew a guy who tried to teach his petite girlfriend to ride on a Honda CBR1000RR. Yeah, stupid. She totals it in a curve by going wide and ends up with several broken bones...

    Squid decided to ruin our ride last night...

    I'm an ex cop and we would never write a speeding ticket unless it was at least 15 over. We would stop someone for less just to check them out (probable cause) but if everything else checked out okay we sent them on their way without a ticket. I myself might have written on average 1 or 2...

    Max luggage solutions?

    Yeah, it's pricey all right. A friend just bought one. They start at about $28,000 and go into the thirties with options. He let me ride it for a few miles. A really smooth ride and gear changes are like silk. I really liked the cruise control. It is however very heavy. I'm used to my...
