YZ
Hey Stretch nice to see an old 2 stroke being "recycled". I used to race YZs and they were reliable and reasonably powerful stock. The suspension on the 88 isn't very good but it all depends on what you want to do. If it's just easy woods riding it should be ok. You might want to powder...
BP I am happy to hear that you passed on that POS. Just based on what you posted and then what you found when you saw the bike in person it was junk. I have learned over the years to look out for the just fell over in the garage deals. I am willing to bet that FZ had been was ridden hard and...
Runninnnnnnnnn......
A long time ago (in my late teens) I was comming out of the woods on my first motocross bike a 77 Honda CR125 and crossing the local elementary school parking lot on the way to another woods trail and out of nowhere in my peripheral vision I see the white front fender of a...
My Big Thanks to both Sully and Kim (45FZ) for the super smooth transaction in buying my "new to me" 2003 FZ1. It was a pleasure to do business with these guys and Kim held up his end of the bargain including shipping spare parts.
Great folks in our community!

I was just reading the thread about John's FZ being stolen and it made me think. Since I am just getting back into street bikes after being away for years my question is how do you secure your bike when it's parked especially away from home? Mine will be in a locked garage when not being...
Nooooo no Craigslist deal here. Bought from a reputable guy who was spoken for by several FZ1 forum users. Thanks for the concern though and I agree with what you are saying.
Gear
Brock,
I am looking at the same options. We use undershirt armor for motocross practice and racing. At first I thought it was a bit hot but after a few rides I really like the connected feel rather than external protection that moves around a lot. I guess it's all what you are used to...
Bon Jour IB - thanks for clarifying that for the group and Yes the seller is an upstanding guy. Hey you are just up the road from me maybe we can catch up for a ride in VT or PQ this year.

Jacket
Papa G does the jacket have any armor built in back, elbows or shoulder? If it does and you think it will fit like a large I would buy it for $45 shipped.

Seb are you in Traverse City? My wife and I visit there to vacation, hike and watch the red Wings... Super nice town and area. That is awesome snow in the picture. Here in Vermont we started the season with decent snow then had the meltdown and rain and super cold snap turning the remaining...
Thanks guys for the quick replies
Thank you all for your input, Jared your company was the winner for my shipment. Thanks again.

Soon to be FZ1 owner
I am in the process of buying the beautiful 2003 FZ1 listed in this forum. I have never shipped a bike before and it needs to go from Indiana to Vermont. Does anyone here have experience with motorcycle shippers and an idea of the general cost, things to look out for, etc?
Any help is...
Thanks for the welcome
Thanks for welcoming me to the group, it's great to be looking forward to street riding again as I have been away from it for about 10 years. A little about me, I'm 51 an exec by day and a firefighter by night (my fun job). I have loved motorcycles since the day i saw a...
