I been gone a while now, traded my FZ1 for a Silverado and then traded that for a Stingray boat, and that brings me up to today. I ended trading for an 06 Sportster 883L. Oh I know it's nothing to get excited about, but I did get rid of the boat, that's excitement enough I think. Anyway it's an...

Well I went ahead and did another trade. Theres a post here somewhere telling how I got to this point with an FZ1, but now the saga continues. Today I went over a fiew towns to look at a bike that a guy had on Craigs list. I had posted my FZ on there as a trade for a different bike, a specific...

I'm going on a bit over a thousand miles using Mobil 1 synthetic, this is what I'v found.....
Shifting is silky smooth, it clicks into gear with the slightest urge, except for from neutral into first at a stop. this is standard on almost every bike made period. However rowing through the...
We'v all got the FZ1 and are enjoying them, but I'm thinking sometimes that I wish I also had a cruiser bike, or even as the only bike I had. I'v had around 50 different bikes in my lifetime 57 years, so I doubt the good O'l FZ will be the last. What big cruiser rings your chimes??
My list...
Ok....what is it...? Well I clamped vicegrips to my tongue, stood on live coals in a fire-pit, while the local kids threw 'wiffel balls' at me.......and then I was able to pronounce the name of.............you guesed it.... Icelands newest erupting Volcano. So can you do any better? Let's try...
Do any of you know it the guage cluster is semi-floating, rather, does it have counter-clockwise/clockwise movement? Were only talking just an N'th of play, but I'm windering if mabe something I did affected it? I pulled out the right side black pannel there below the throttle, that pannel that...

Sometimes you just got'a ask someone else once you'v reached a standstill or mental block. Heres what I'm trying to come up with, and I believe I may not be the only one.... I have to use a cane to walk, there's just no getting around it, it's either that or a couple O'hip...
I know we'v all been on pins and needles waiting to get some riding time in this year. It seemed a relentless snow-packed winter, especially hitting the North East with un-relenting snow and cold. I know, you mid-westerners just get no respect, a hardy bunch, but soon everybody will have dry...
Well I got around to stripping my wheels, and I'm glad I did for one, the powdercoat had tiny speck/chips that allower incursions of water thuss the very beginings of oxidation and pre-pitting. It was easy enough to touch it up with fine emery cloth to smooth out the areas in question. Now I'll...
I'v been riding for a long while, decade's. I'v recently gotten myself a Fulmar modular helmet, and while its so convienient, there are drawbacks to it. The major complaint is that it's just plain wind/noisy. A neck gaitor may remedy that a bit, but with warmer temps just around the next...
