    FZ6R exhaust decisions

    I like the bikes quiet stock sound too. Noise just annoys others and also lets the cops know where you are when in the higher revs.

    Helmet Bracket

    That's a great idea.

    Attempted Robery On Ducati shop

    It's truly unbelievable that the laws are actually protecting the criminals instead of the victims. You can thank bleeding heart liberals, lawyers and people that just allow it all to happen without protest. I often quote the famous words of Edmond Burke. "All it takes for evil to triumph is for...

    What Not To Wear (while riding)

    Good post Michael. Being as safe as we can be should be our primary concern. People think it wont happen to them like a friend that lost a leg. What is worth that?

    Gun Talk Thread

    These are the kind of guys that make gun laws tough on the rest of us. If you are this paranoid when you go out you're a loose canon. Not cool.

    this is how fast it happens

    Thank you for that video. Safety can never be overemphasized. We have to expect the unexpected.

    Highway 94 claimed another fz6r.... mine.

    So sorry to hear about your pain. One second all is fine and then the next this happens. Hopefully we learn from our experiences. So what was the lesson you learned?

    Don't text and ride.

    Maybe he has balls but for sure he doesn't have brains.

    scared for this kid OMG

    Since he has no respect for his life I don't really care if he looses it. I'm all for cleaning the gene pool of stupid people anyway. I am only concerned about him hurting innocent people. This kind of thing makes all the people in the cars he passed think what an a.. hole. It takes all bike...

    New FZ6R, recommended mods?

    Surf junkie is totally right! First buy her all the protective gear she needs. None of the superficial bike add ons will be important at all if she has an accident. Any of us that have had an injury can attest that pain, suffering and bodily harm should be avoided in every way available to us. A...

    Another mirror mod.

    When it comes to anything that compromises safety for questionable looks I'll take the safety every time. Our stock mirrors may look odd to some (too me they look fine) but they are effective because the engineers designed them to stick out so you could see. Even with the stock ones I felt...

    Two Bros Full Exhaust - Do you find it too loud?

    Any loud noise will take a permanent toll on your hearing especially as you get older. Imagine a world without sounds or greatly diminished hearing. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) – this is hearing loss due to exposure to either a sudden, loud noise or exposure to loud noises for a period of...

    Handlebars mirrors

    Naples is one of my favorite cities. I have many fond memories from there. What a lot of fun to go across alligator alley through the glades on your bike. Thanks for your posts Marthy and Sage.

    Handlebars mirrors

    Do you guys that have actually tried the CNC bar end mirrors feel they have a better view than the stock mirrors? Better safety is most important to me. The look of the stock mirrors doesn't bother me at all. I feel they could have a better view of what's behind me. I put the little Pep Boy...

    Camshaft specs... The next project!

    Congrats Marthy! You persevered, worked really hard and won. You can tell by the amount of response from everyone here that the excitement is almost as high as the space shuttle taking off. The engine sounded really healthy. We're all eager to hear what the butt dyno says. Best regards and well...

    Camshaft specs... The next project!

    This one's going to be a hum dinger Marthy. I think a cam mod is going to be the ticket out of the +5HP barrier. Good luck!!

    Motorcycle Slide Tackle

    Yes, I know there are an awful lot of guys that love canyon carving. When ever you don't have full control of your bike you are taking a chance. When you push the limits there is zero room left for error. Always be prepared to react to anything unexpected that comes up. Our public roads are not...

    New Mens Scorpion Monroe Textile Pants

    I wear the Scorpion Deuce pants and really like them. I imagine the Monroes would be really good also. I tried both kinds on before purchasing. The Deuce just fit me better. They seem to be very well made and offer good protection which is the main reason I bought them. I noticed that with...

    Looking for some upgrade advice

    Go plus 1 tooth on the front sprocket. It will lower your rpms and save gas at 85mph. You already know the answer to whether the R1 gets as good gas mileage as the 6r. Also as you noted there is a big difference in insurance. You can get a Cee Bailey windshield for it which will greatly decrease...
