(Sold) FS: 2009 FZ6R w/mods - South MS Update: Sold :'( I'm currently selling my 2009 Yamaha FZ6R, asking $5300 (reduced). After lack of interest in the Givi bags, I'll consider selling the bike for around $5000 and sell the bags separately. I bought it brand new in July 2011 when...

I know I haven't showed my face here in quite a long time, but I do check in on the threads occasionally. I haven't rode much in several months, for a lot of reasons, some excusable, some not. My bike has been in the garage since December, and I've rode less and less since last labor day...

I drive 7 hours Thursday night from Hattiesburg, MS to Nashville, TN, stayed in a hotel room, then first thing Friday morning I was one of the first people in the state to pick up my new toy: 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Ultimate Package. This is an HDR pic (I'm on a HDR kick right now...

Ok, first thread I've made in a long time, so here we go. I've only been riding a couple years now, July made it one year on the 6R, and for some reason, I just feel tired of riding. I don't feel that exhilaration anymore, and it feels like a burden more than anything else lately...

Just starting early on some spring cleaning I suppose. Since I went with Givi bags, I have no need for my old set of Nelson Rigg Silver Streak soft saddlebags. I'm guessing it'll cost around $15 to ship probably, so lets say around $50 shipped. Also I'm taking off my Power Madd handguards...

Took the bike out to the local reservoir today and grabbed a few pics, thought I'd update on my progress so far, and give a few opinions on my mods that did and did not work out so far. When I got home I was at 980 miles, and I have three quarts of Amsoil waiting for next weekend's oil...

Trying to get an early start on spring cleaning, and simultaneously raise funds for other stuff :) I'm willing to take reasonable offers on anything, just let me know. 1. Vista cruise universal mount - $25 shipped - I put my oxford heated grips on, and because of the nodule where the...

Is the economy that bad? We have scooter cops now...that try to run over people on their scooters? Clashes as Occupy protesters march on Wall Street - US news - Life - msnbc.com :surrender:

I'm trying to get my heart of my throat, as I had my first true first close call on a bike. Riding to work this morning, which is only about a 2.5 mile ride, a bright yellow pet taxi van cut me off, which mere inches to spare. Instinct took over, and I grabbed the front brake as hard as I...

Ok, right now I'm looking at installing: 1. Oxford heated grips 2. Vista Cruise 3. Power distro / relay 4. Handguards Now I should have thought about this already, but because I'm impatient I went ahead and removed my old grips, put adhesive on, and put the oxford grips on (I haven't wired...

Ok, so long story short I've never been a "sports" guy, never watched football / baseball / soccer / basketball / whatever. That said, however, if I'm going to get into watching any form of sports, it'll like be SS racing. Problem is I know *nothing* about it. I have no idea when the...

Ok, so yesterday, it took me ALL day, but I hit 597 miles, found my way down to auto zone, bought 3 quarts of Mobile 4T full synthetic oil, and did my oil change. Took my brother and 3 hours worth of cursing to get that stock oil filter off, but its done. Now today, I loaded up my nephews...

Ok this is just a rant because I got through having an argument with somebody else, so here goes. I'm getting really sick of 90% of the bikers I run into (locally, I'm not talking about forums) thinking anything less than a 1000cc bike is a beginner bike or a toy. Now I understand if you're...

Want an opinion from you guys. I think CC can probably weigh in on this one, since its his fault I"m thinking about it anyway :p Basically, I want to know from people that swapped from helmets similar to mine to something different if its worth the money, or if I won't notice a huge...

Ok, so I put on my new Puig last night, and I thought it still felt loose, so I kept tightening. Yeah, little bugger snapped right off. I just need a single black plastic windscreen screw, anybody that's replaced theirs with different colors or something have any laying around I could buy off...

Just checking, but my wife and I will be in Atlanta for Dragoncon next Saturday and Sunday, anybody else going to be at the convention getting their nerd on? For those of you that are unfamiliar, Dragoncon is a little like Comic-Con but less about comics and more about Sci-Fi in general. There...

Just bored, so why not make a random post? Its 4:40 AM, I've had one hours worth of sleep and I'm wide awake. Today (technically yesterday) I had a massive shot of steroids injected directly into a herniated disc in my neck to help alleviate some pain, and the first day after steroids is...

Ok, so I had an extremely weird dream last night, and it was sort of bike related, so I'm sharing. Also, just for kicks and because I'm bored, consider this the start of a "what was the last eff'd up dream you remember?" thread. I actually have more than a couple disturbing dreams I can share...

Just got word from my wife there was a 5-6 magnitude Earthquake in D.C. I think a few forum members are up that direction. Hope everybody is safe. Between this and Hurricane Irene seemingly headed your direction, I feel for you :( Edit...

Alright, so I've got blue reflective stripes on my bike right now (10mm), which I like the width, but they just don't really match the bike very well. Yes, I used the search function. Plenty of people showing off their wheel stripes, but not all of them comment on how well they really...
