    Maui the last nine days.

    I grew up in Hawaii, there is no helmet law there. It had been a while since I had been home & went back a couple months ago & I couldn't get used to seeing all idiots trying to look cool with no shirts & flip flops on sport bikes. There were a couple of fatalities the week I was there as well.

    2002 FZ1 for my first bike

    I agree, because I didn't see the guy behind me speed up & weave thru other cars & cross 3 lanes to get into a Mexican restaurant & I just barely caught him out of the corner of my eye it was my fault. I absolutely agree that maybe I should have been more aware of what was going on behind me...

    2002 FZ1 for my first bike

    Guys I need help choosing which bike to get, What would you do?

    Yup we worked a deal for $5k, I am picking it up on Friday when I have the day off.....I am excited! I can't wait for my ZX10 to get out of the shop to ride. It's killing me not to have a bike in the garage.

    Tires are brand new, it was just serviced. A carbon Yoshi exhaust is $500 alone, everything on it was tastefully done & everything I would have done + more than I would have done.

    Bought a 2001 FZ1 a week ago. Very pleased with my new machine.

    That lane splitting business would scare the crap out of me! Seems like one mistake or a driver moving into another lane position would get ugly in a hurry.
