    No time...

    for riding! This is very sad to say but I've had the 2013 bike since I bought it new with zero miles for one year now. Last night, I managed to crest 2,020 miles on the ODO... one year.... I've never owned a bike and put so few miles on it! Life happened, so much going on right now...

    Recalculating…. Trip 2015

    Prelude This has been a tumultuous season so far with so many plans come and gone like the shifting winds of a forest fire. Just when you think you have the situation under control another shift in circumstances and it’s time for a new plan. I cannot remember a time in my adult life when the...

    Marbles and Stones

    After scuttled vacation plans and having a paid campsite reservation a couple of friends agreed to join me for a quick out and back weekend trip. The plan was to run the canal route from Carseland to Vauxhall then run back roads the remainder. It just so happened to be mostly the TCAT (Trans...

    Rear ended

    Motorcyclist rear ended in pile up (Rear Ended) I don't think I'd be as cool as this guy if this happened to me. Watch motorcyclists miracle escape after being rear ended by a car The rider got off OK, but the lady 2 cars back looks in a bit of pain.

    Is the fz1 gas tank double layer? I need to pop out a dent on the side

    HI everyone, I just bought a 2006 fz1. I need to revive it a lil. It was in someones back yard for a few months so aside from needing a major cleaning the left side of the gas tank has a dent. It's not a sharp dent. It looks like a blunt dent that might pop back out but I've never done...

    GI: 2012 FZ1 San Antonio, TX

    So I'm considering selling my 2012 FZ1, at the time I picked it up I was going through a lot of insurance crap with my '06 (18 wheeler jacknifed in front of me on the highway) waiting to see what the insurance company was going to say, was unsure how long it would take getting the parts to...

    What do you think of the new Yamaha Sport-Tourer? Only $10,490. I saw an all black model(their first one) at my local dealer while replacing a back tire on my 08 FZ1. Looks very impressing. The wife might like the better pillion.

    Sydney to Brisbane - the long way

    Actually, I've already started it. It isn't really a secret ride but I don't think anyone else really wants to visit my parents north of Brisbane. Google Maps tells me it should only be about 941km door to door which is doable in a day if you push. I have a route that will be at least 1500km...

    Tennessee 2014

    John & I had originally planned to make this trip back in spring, but when our dog got sick, it was put on hold. Fall is a better time to visit the south anyway, right? Packed up the car and loaded the bikes on the trailer for what I thought would be a grueling 20 hour drive....but it wasn't as...

    Hey everyone, new to the FZ1 world & have questions

    I have an opportunity to to purchas an 07' FZ1 with 5k miles for $4,000 & its the original owner selling it, seems like a decent buy to me. I have been a long time Kawi rider, ZX10r, ZX6R & a 650R & had Suzuki dirt bikes & dual sports. I have found that the older I get the harder it is to...
