    I have a Cadillac, and didn't know it...

    The value of health benefits being reported on the W2 I'm pretty sure isn't being taxed, at least not anytime soon. The "Cadillac" tax doesn't go into effect until 2018 and is the employer's responsibility (though that doesn't mean they can't pass that on in the form of higher contributions)...

    Light beer, really?

    I prefer Killians, however I'll drink a coors/miller/bud light when I have to - like when its the only option and/or I'm not paying. I'd prefer a Disaronno sour over anything, though.

    FZ6 to FZ1

    Overall I'm much happier with my FZ1, but I made the switch last year. For me: FZ1 seating position and handlebar angle is more comfortable FZ1 has more power (not revving as high on my commute) FZ1 doesn't vibrate as much FZ1 sounds better FZ1 stock suspension setup felt better to me FZ6 more...

    mobile app

    Fat fingers? Yes I do. Though for the most part I don't really have any issues typing on the phone - its just less convenient than my laptop to do so.

    mobile app

    I'll echo every one too - same app. I don't like writing replies on my phone because the keyboard is small, but it is great for keeping up with the forum when I'm not able to be at the computer.

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    I haven't had anything to add to this because I didn't possess a non-FZ1 bike until Friday; I picked up a 2002 Ninja 250. I'll cheat and say this as though it was today, but I actually did this over the weekend: flushed coolant, changed oil, tweaked tire pressures, lubed cables, greased various...

    How is YOUR financial situation ??

    I think the music was more motivating than the text! That made me want to get up and do something, anything. I'm not in a perfect situation - I have a very small savings account. I have an automatic transfer set up to move money from my checking to savings every month, but there are many...

    Rate your Internet Provider

    I'm convinced I'm only getting the advertised speeds because of the time of the morning I ran this. Overall I'd say I'm satisfied with my ISP's performance - but their billing practices and customer service leave me constantly searching for a new one ... but the only competitor worth anything I...

    So I rode today without a helmet &

    I've only really gone once without a helmet, and it wasn't comfortable at all. Not that comfort is ever > safety, but when less safe is also less comfortable that's just a megalose. Aside from that one ~45min ride that I'd never do again, I'll occasionally go for a spin around the block without...

    What else do you drive?

    I don't have a picture handy - so I'll just say '04 Honda Accord. My car gets a lot more miles per year than my bike, but during the summer I try to avoid using the car for my daily commute.

    Driving around the world - A lot of us already have

    I haven't thought about how much I've driven in terms of Earths circumnavigated. About 3 for me, a little under half of one has been on a bike.

    Passenger Question

    I've never been a passenger on a bike (I significantly outsize my riding buddies, so I think physics would be awkward for one of them), but I think a backrest is partially psychological. One of my passengers was a lot less nervous when I put my big 52L topcase on, she doesn't lean against it -...

    Down at Fort Knox :D

    I'm in Louisville - relatively close, but still kinda far.

    Got that itch again...

    Not trying to change your mind back to the GW, but I'd do it. I've been sniffing around for used GWs for a while now.

    Gettin' antsy!

    If you make it in/around Louisville, KY, I can ride some.

    About three decades ago... my parents hadn't met yet.

    The Winter 2011 Bike Projects Thread

    My winter plans for the bike: park it in the garage. I don't have any mod or maintenance plans for it.

    Subaru BRZ Concept

    I think it looks pretty cool, but I'd never get it. I sit too close to the ground in and feel my Accord (sedan) is too small ... whenever I have to get a new cage I'm getting an SUV of some kind. Haven't done any research on which though - with 70k miles on my 7 year old Honda I'm expecting it...
