When reading something about helmets, I remembered this story from last summer. Maybe some of you have seen it.....

Or, he could have been a candidate for the Darwin...
Who knew these are man-made?
I guess I never thought too much about it.......thinking it was creeping up out of the road during high heat. But, sure enough. They make them.
So, yesterday I was riding thru central Texas on CR 619 and I came onto some of these in a corner that were shiny...
These were on a 2007 FZ1-S. Excellent condition.
Available because I changed mine to different ones when doing a Euro conversion.

clutch perch ($25) shipped
Or make me an offer. If interested, send me a PM.
I have made my bike a naked bike, so am selling the full front fairing, OEM mirrors that mount onto the fairing, the lights and compartments, the fairing stay, side panels -- basically everything from the front that you see in the pictures below (except not the turn signals. I have kept those)...
Pretty good day. Lots of sun. Just watching today. I did the slow group ride around the track on my FZ1. It was the CMRA racing weekend (CMRA :: Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association) in College Station TX at the Texas World Speedway.
I friend of mine was racing today, so I rode out 95...
Rode this on Saturday. Sweet bike. I really like it. Wish I could take it home and use it for a track bike, but the dealership is asking more than they should....
It was a fun ride. :) :)
Too bad it was pretty chewed up. I went to check it out........I was thinking of getting another bike. It was listed for $1500 1994 Yamaha 1000
I couldn't even finish the ride around the block, before turning back for safety reasons. What a shame. I wish it had been well kept and that I...

Get some! Love that road. Today going out of Austin northbound and returning later southbound........it finally happened out there for the first time.............wait for it......
No TRAFFIC in front of me...
I'm looking at leather gear for primarily street riding. Some with, some without aerodynamic hump. Significant advantage, or not?
Mostly for aerodynamics vs. without it?
Or also more protection provided with hump than other?
That is, is the hump only for aerodynamics?
I've read a few threads where people talk about leathers, but wanted to pose this directly...
Who wears leathers for street riding? Reasons for yeah or neh?
Wed (1.11.12) it's expected 72 & clear in Austin, Texas area and west/southwest looks clear and warm as well. I'm still on vacation this week.......so
I'm heading out in the morning....probably by 8 or so. I always plan to get back to my house by 5 or earlier (don't do night riding) with...
Think this is the best helmet I have ever had! Hands down.
Same shell as the Corsair-V model, but different vents and less price (yes, $600 dollars for a helemet is still steep. But worth it, IMO) RX-Q fits my head best too. Peripheral vision is much better than the Shoei RF1100 - for my...
