    First big Ride - Suggestions, comments, things to expect?

    you'll find you use less than you imagine. when i did a 3 week trip cross country i ended up only using 1/4 of the clothes i packed. if you got em, just pack a spare set of your clothes and gloves, if they get wet, once you're out of the rain, switching to a dry pair is a mighty nice feeling

    Will 04-06 R1 brake rotors fit a GenII

    Thinking of buying an FZ1 (owned an FZ8), thoughts welcome

    FZ1 with ecu flash, leave stock pipes on it. is very very fun. needs suspension upgrades and brake upgrades if you plan on riding aggressively or on track, however if you are smooth and only on the street it will suffice stock. since you're english hilltop motorcycles 01455 848522 is where i'd...

    Rusty sparkplugs

    the caps on your coil packs must be bad for that much moisture to get down there. side note, every used bike i buy gets full fluid flush, suspension, oil, coolant, gas. you never know the last time it was done, if ever. also check plugs and pads.

    The Ridge Motorsports Park with OPRT

    it was a freakin blast. even though turns out the r6 clutch decided to start slipping bad and the steering stem seal on the fz1 decided to not hold back grease from the neck of the frame anymore, also, PR4's are not meant for the track, still had a blast.
