The device that warns you of the position of speed cameras/intersection cameras is only a safety device in that it warns you of where other drivers are driving like idiots. I think that the red light cameras do cause more accidents than they save and the speed cameras cause drivers...
Tough call man, but your the only one who can decide what you want. I've only ridden one gen II and it was definitely not as smooth as my gen I, but it was not corrected with the FCE or PCIII or whatever it is that FI bikes use. If your set on a Gixx you'll never be happy with an FZ....do what...
Just went from a Diablo Strada rear to a Pilot Power rear, both with a Corsa III on the front. Going from the sport touring strada to the power has been night and day. I was at the point where if I really pushed it I could get the strada to break loose (only a few times b/c im a sissy). So far...
I'm Tom, 28, and I work in the city during the week and on fridays I make my way out of the city and spend the weekends in michigan with my girlfriend. The FZ1 is my first street bike. I've heard more than 100 times that the FZ is not a first bike for anyone. Thankfully I fully disagreed with...
Just got around to getting some pictures of the mods i've done over the last month or two. First mod was to the mirrors, affectionately known as the Fuzzy mirror mod on FZ1OA. It pushes the mirrors down to the sides instead of being upright. Next, put on a Puig racing screen. Makes highway...
i have a gen I which the seating is different, but i enjoy 2up riding. No difference in the power, just slightly in low speed handling. GF loves it, and even with her super long legs its not uncomfortable for her.
'02 Ford 4x4 truck for our nasty winters, '77 vette for summer fun...although with gas prices the vette sat in the garage a lot and the bike got over 6k on it this summer!
I use the 'ol WD-40 for cleaning the chain off and then Dupont Teflon Chain lube, which can be bought at most hardware stores....cheap and works well IMO.
Sweet, im glad you finally got to experience the whole motor Mean 1 ! The damn things really come alive from 8-11.5 rpm's! It is a totally different monster in the upper rpm's. My riding buddies always know when I'm winding her up b/c they say it gets really loud and mean soundin as I blow by em!
I wear ear buds so I can listen to MP3's thru my phone whenever I ride farther than 1/2 hr or so. They definitely help cut down noise, but the music is so loud im not sure that it helps cut my hearing loss! I have grown up shooting skeet and sporting clays and wear $150 + hearing protection...
The cat is my troublemaker, Basco...he is a seal point siamese. Then there is my black lab Tiki in the pool, and the midget dog is my black lab/basset mix Cal !
I'm definately a novice when it comes to FZ1 wheelies...my #'s are definately in the low teens :innocent: I have done thousands on dirt bikes and have friends who have done tons on their street bikes and havent seen any ill effects...aside from some scraped up bikes and some bruised egos!
