    This is goodbye...

    Woody's gave me a good deal on Gracie, so the price wasn't so bad. :) In other good news, I'm pretty sure I saw Gracie on the highway in November a couple of times during my commute. They were going the opposite way. I hope they enjoy her as much as I did! And yes, I should probably stop...

    This is goodbye...

    Traded Gracie in for an FZ-10 today. It was sad to see her go, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to get the bike of my dreams...So long, and for all, a good night!

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Did this during the oil change last weekend. Worked like a charm. Helps people with OCD tendencies... Also replaced the air filter and flushed/replaced the coolant, at 23000 mi. Gracie's a very happy bike right now! Last weekend while cleaning the chain I checked the slack - at 70 mm...

    First time "out" - AAR

    First things first: you have already made the best decision you could have - you bought the bike with the best color!!!! No matter what they tell you, copper is faster than yellow, black, blue and all the others :D Next: I commend you on your willingness to practice - sounds like you are...

    Touring windscreen question

    I had the DB first, then ordered Puig touring. Puig is much better for me, less buffeting. I'm 5'7". I can look over it easily, I'd have to lean on the tank to look through it. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Still can't upload to BOTM. The one photo that "was" there (October 2015) said "thumbnail missing" and there was no photo.

    what tires should I put on my bike

    Here's another shout out for Michelin Pilot Road 4s. I have the PR3s and have 10000 on my rear tire and 7000 on my front. They both still look almost brand new. They say PR4s get 20% more thread life, and the thread pattern is smoother on the edge for smoother cornering. The PR3s did change...

    Ruffin, NC Ride - Dragon

    Awesome Dragon rides! (disclaimer: only watched first and last) Can't wait to get there in a couple of days!!! And your first video was a good reminder to keep one's focus and respect the unknown roads :)

    FZ6R Spark Plug replacement

    Thank you, Roaddawg, for the awesome write up. Made changing the spark plugs very easy. Of course I did have my husband's help in doing the "heavy lifting" (removing the tops off the plugs was quite tough...) :) I didn't realize they should have been replaced at 8000 mi. (bad me!) but they...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Gracie got a new inspection sticker today and to my surprise the color matches the yellow of the registration sticker. Oh Joy! Now the license plate is balanced... :rolleyes:

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Yesterday we went for a 4 hr ride so that I could try on gloves. Well the place (the only one near me that was open on a Sunday) didn't have the glove type I was looking for, but I ended up buying a Cortech Super 2.0 12 L tank bag. Getting ready for our ride later in the summer, we are going to...

    What did you do to your bike today?

    Not actually today, but... I have an exit on the highway on my way home that I take, just to take the exit. I immediately get back on the highway again. I do this in order to get at least one great curve into my commute... :) And I can practice cornering. I don't try to get through it as fast...

    How to take corners more effectively?

    Lots of good info here. I'd just like to state one more thing that may be obvious but want to make sure it is said - when you look through the turn, keep your eyes level with the road surface, not with the lean of you bike. You're probably already doing it, but if not, it may contribute to the...
