Neck brace would be a great help in safety department on a motorcycle but I don't think it will be mandatory. F1 drivers have mirrors to check their 6 and need for head movement is limited. Now on a bike racing or riding I want to make sure I can turn my head as much as I can.
This is horrible how we lost great rider. On top of that Edwards and Rossi must be devastated since they were involved. I pray for them and their families for peace.
Moto GP and SBK are on the front line with safety and this should not have happened.
I started on a small 50 cc Romet Komar :wow: That was fun ride: the chain would always fall :cuss:and it overheated so I had bucket with water and rag to cool it. Then I went on to MZ 150 Awesome bike that could have been started with nail. Last one was MZ 251 "Many dreamed of it, few got it"...
I just got my 04 FZ1 in August. What I had before was GSF600s and I was not sure if I want the power of full liter bike. Now I know I made the right decision. It is great for long distance or commuting. The only difference with FZ6 is that it is more fuel efficient . I get about 175 miles on one...
Johnny,
This is first time I would be riding on track.
What I want to make sure is that my ride is up to spec and I have everything that is required. This weekend I will do complete maintenance and see if I need to change anything. I got my ride in August and since then I only installed...
Billy,
Thanks, I got all the info. I think I need to get my bike and myself ready for something like this. I see next weekend event is on Oct 30, this gives me some time to get ready.
Best of luck in getting you bike for next year.
I had to lubricate cluch and choke cables. They were starting to refuse to work (a lot of riding in rain might be the problem):deadhorse: It looks like I'll be lubricating my ride on weekend from top to bottom:yes:
Klurejr,
Wow, you really helped me on this one. I think I will leave the lane sharing to very minimum. Thanks for info from hand book. I'm back riding for few months already and I see that knowledge of drivers is not getting better, in fact it is getting worse. I don't want to risk my life to...
Thanks,
The problem is that it is up to cop to decide what is right and what is wrong. I have no car pool lanes, in fact there isn't many of them in NJ. I most of the time ride no faster than 15mph. and Yes, I also feel safer on my motorcycle then in a car, you are right; less distractions.
I will go straight to point: Line Splitting; I do it very often when traffic stops :scared: on the way or from work.
I know, there is no law for it in NJ but Police can pull me over for other reasons.
Does anybody have the same dilemma or I'm paranoid? :kuku:
Acessory Outlet
Hey,
This was last night but I was able to install acessory outlet on my 04 FZ1, and it works. What makes me happy is that I used a quick connect plug from a battery charger to use it when I want it. The same connection can be also used to tenderize the battery. Killed tow...
