I must be easy to please.
I have over 31,000 miles on the bike in 3 years and don't really have any complaints about the bike. I like the way it looks or i wouldn't have bought it, and have had nothing but compliments about the bike from the beginning.
The only mod I've done or will do is...
In my last three sets I've had,
1. weights fall off within the first week.
2. had my front tire mounted on the rim backwards, Twice. The first time i had it on the bike before i realized it and the second time i was putting it on the bike when i realized it. I check them now before i...
The TV show Then Came Bronson. I was 8 years old the year that aired in 1969, got my Honda 50 that year and I've had a motorcycle ever since.
I ride daily, rain or shine, hot or cold. When I'm on a motorcycle i feel freedom, and it feels the same today as it felt 44 years ago.
My parents always bought me dirt bikes, but said they would never pay for a street bike.
I paid for my first street bike around 30 years ago (Kawasaki 305), two wrecks & several thousand miles later...They still hate that i ride a street bike.
30,000 miles in 30 months,
The love of my 2 & 1/2 year old grandson has surpassed my love for riding, so most of my recent & future weekends have been and will be spent with him instead of riding.
He has become obsessed with motorcycles because his Poppa T rides one everyday, and most of the...
When you've had two wrecks involving other vehicles that either turned or pulled out in front of you, it helps a little bit in preventing those in the future.
You go from not thinking about a vehicle pulling into your path, to wondering if a vehicle will pull into your path, to knowing it...
I hope I'm not the only person that actually enjoys riding a motorcycle in the rain. I have frogg toggs and i ride 10,000+ miles a year, so i get plenty of those rainy day rides, actually going to get one today.
Pumping gas on a rainy day,
guy walks up and says "I bet you wouldn't have ridden that bike today if you knew it was going to rain"
Me "Yeah, i shouldn't have put this rain-suit on before i left the house or it probably wouldn't have"
Mine will be 3 years old in July and i will hit 29,000 miles on her this morning. I haven't modified, changed or tweaked anything on the bike since i bought it.
I like the way the bike looked when i bout it, so i keep it that way and i really enjoy riding it everyday.
So put me down for No...
I could have given you a review from a cruiser guy. From 1981 until 2008 I pretty much owned & rode cruisers. In 2008 I bought a Ninja 250 to play on, saw the FZ6R and in 2010 I sold the Honda Shadow & Ninja and bought the FZ6R.
I have ridden many different bikes in my life, including an R1...
I average almost 12,000 miles a year on whatever bike i own.
The past couple of weeks the morning temps have been in the upper 20's to lower 30's, with highs in the upper 40's to lower 50's, and I get my share of riding in the rain, which i actually enjoy.
The only two things that keep...
Let me know sometime when you guys plan another ride & I'll try to meet up with you. I live near Dalton, and have spent many weekends & some vacations riding & camping in those Georgia, Tennessee & Carolina mountains.
The Roadsmart set of tires i tried started cupping rather quickly, around 2500 miles. I continued to ride on them until i got around 6000 miles.
I have BT023s on the bike now with 7500 miles on the tires and wear looks normal.
I've always used the tire pressure recommended for the actual tire and check when the tire is cold.
80% of my riding is commuting and i currently have almost 6,500 miles on the Battlax tires i have on the bike and they look good, got 11,000 out of the first set, but only had around 7,000...
The horseshoe shape apparatus lays around the back of your neck and you put the ear buds in. You have full access to your music & phone, with the phone being voice activated. These have really high ratings on every website that I've looked at.
I've been riding street bikes for over 30 years so I've had my share of those conversations, but it didn't take me long to be able to take control of those conversations. Here are the two replies i use.
1. I hit a car in the side running 75+ MPH when i was 23. I tell them all about that wreck...
That looks like a pretty good setup you have & inexpensive.
