I have the AAA plus membership and it has saved me a fortune in towing costs with my old saab. I was always under the impression that the membership was for a person not a vehicle. I have used my membership to help friends out before. Why wouldnt the membership cover his motorcycle?

While looking into the possibility of some riding leathers i stumbled upon this... verrry interesting. I was expecting something a bit more impressive. Also the crash demonstrated is probably a best case scenario.. but how do you think the suit would hold up against worst case scenario? In my...

That is a beautiful bike sitting next to a very beautiful bike. I would love to have one of those 09 R1 Ravens sitting in my garage next to my Fz1. So sexy. Enjoy your new toy!

The law is if you are under 21 you must wear a helmet (they also give you a "special" plate if youre under 21.) If you are over 21 and you have a certain amount of insurance coverage you can go without a helmet. Thats the way I understand it. I dont feel comfortable without a helmet.

Watch out for the ones with lots of tattoos and leather vests. When i moved down to Florida from Pennsylvania i was warned by a Floridian that some of the "harley riders" are dangerous. Now from what ive seen on a history channel special (about florida biker gangs) and what ive heard from...

Where in FL are you departing from?

i like that 1940 military BMW. I would love to have an old bike like that. price tag isnt that bad either.

I'm 22 and I would agree not many people our age know much about the FZ1. I learned to ride on an R1, a bike that most are familiar with, and although the R1 is hands down better looking (especially the 09 raven) I like the FZ1 so much more.

I think I remember seeing this in a BOTM??? If i had an extra 60 grand laying around I would consider it. Imagine pulling up beside a supercar on that thing. there might be some rubber left behind.

I was just browsing through some pipes on ebay and i came across this.. I like the way it looks, Ive always preferred the way the short cans look. Exhaust options seem to be more limited for gen 1 owners. Does anyone have this pipe or have any feedback? any comments would help. Thanks in...

Billy you are the man, thanks. ill take a few pictures before during and after.

OIL COOLER 01 02 03 04 05 FZ1 FZS1000 motor engine MINT: eBay Motors (item 310197189124 end time Jun-08-10 15:34:27 PDT)

I figured out where the leak is coming from. Its coming from the oil cooler which is on the left side of the oil filter. after putting the bike up on the center stand it was more obvious. also there is coolant fluid leaking with the oil, a pretty good clue. Its yamaha part number...

Well Billy, when you said i dont have terrible luck I think you may have spoken a little too soon. The good news: I finally got the old filter off. I put the new one on and dumped 3 quarts of mobil 1 into her. The terrible news: I started her up to check if oil pressure was good and make...

Last time i changed oil, i bought an oil filter socket that fits on a 3/8 rachet. That socket broke before I got the filter off so i returned it and exchanged for a new one. The new one worked fine on that change and then I treid to use it again today... the filter wont budge. It stripped the...
