    Whats your screen name mean?

    When I was much younger my older sister used to call people Hoodrat. It wasn't anything negative by her, although it has a negative connotation generally speaking. I looked up to her a lot being my bigger older sister. At the time I was big into skiing (now I only snowboard) so I combined the...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Was going to ask where in the hell in San Diego you lived because I didn't see any of that but then caught the Lakeside part. Weather was pretty nice by the water. Rode along the coast up through Del Mar to visit relatives in Vista and back down to San Diego yesterday. Loved it!

    Minor damage

    Good thing is that you're relatively okay and so is the bike. How bad is the road rash? As for fixing the bike, little sanding and on the bar ends sharpie and will be almost invisible. Good lessons are the ones you can walk away from and prevent from happening again. :)

    sunglasses...

    I originally found out about the Gatorz glasses when I used to skydive a lot. I could wear them without goggles and even the 120 mile an hour winds didn't bother me due to their close fitting curved contour shape. Later I would wear them during spring snowboarding when I didn't want full size...

    New FZ6R Rider in San Diego, CA

    Since I had connections at Fun Bike Center I actually got mine there. As for riding together I'd totally be down sometime in the near future. Feel free to shoot me a PM for my info. Being a new rider though I do want to get a little time under my belt (and courses) so I don't hold you up too...

    FZ6R - How to install HID Headlights

    I got everything apart, tested the electronics before assembling everything and it all works great. The only problem I'm having is trying to figure out where/how to cut the rubber boot that goes over the new bulb. With the casing and parts connected to the new bulb there is no way to stretch...

    New FZ6R Rider in San Diego, CA

    I just thought I'd make my initial post here and say hello. After years of wanting to ride, I finally borke down, and made it happen. I've been in the military for 17 1/2 years so I've seen tons of bikes to and from work so it's only gotten more tempting over the years. I Purchased a brand...
