riding

Hello all. My name is Matthew and I have been riding for many years now. (40, wow where does time go?) I have had some really cool rides and have been fortunate to survived them all. One of my favorite s was a 1987 FZ700 in white, yellow and blue. Made one year for homologation, it was the...

Hello everyone, I just realized I started posting without introducing myself, how rude... I just bought my first bike after a 45 years hiatus in riding. My last bike was a Triumph 250 mono. How time flies! Not getting any younger, I did not want to go through the 250-500-750 training/upgrade...

I haven't really gotten started yet this year, but I do have some pictures of lowside damage from about a month ago. I finally got around to washing the bike today, and doing a more thorough inspection of the bike to assess any hidden damage. It's been raining here pretty much non-stop, and I...

I put 15,000 mi on this year . I put 12,000 on my Honda and 3,000 on the FZ . We had great riding weather this year in the NE of the USA once we thawed out from a horrible winter !!

A couple of weeks ago I did a review on the Motoquest jacket. Here's the review on the Motoquest pants. They have been pretty sweet for both street riding and dual sport riding. Check it out. http://www.spiritstrike.com/gear/2014/12/10/olympia-motoquest-guide-pants

I know several of you teach MSF, but all I can say is thank God. The MSF curriculum is a joke and I'm glad to see a group in who understands riding, and is not a bunch of knuckle draggers, take over instruction. After watching my wife graduate from MSF "training" with flying colors, and promptly...

Here is an excellent write up on choosing road tyres for your ride. What is very interesting is that they claim that sport touring tyres have more than enough grip for 90% of street riders. I've just bought myself a set of T30 Bridgestones after riding on nothing but hyper-sport tyres so we'll...

Sorry my first post here is so negative, but I'm honestly baffled, shocked, and disappointed by how much I hate my stock '07 FZ1, a motorcycle I've been interested in for years. The short version is that it's the most uncomfortable motorcycle I've ever ridden, and it gets the worst gas...

Hello all, I just purchased an 08' FZ1 with 5k miles on it & from what I have read on here its the fastest color FZ1 - grey :jaw drop: I just wanted to introduce myself, I am not new to riding & have had several ZX10's & a ZX6r & a few supermoto's. The riding position on this is awesome...

I didn't get any pictures, but I took a long ride for me. I had a meet up in Cleveland, OH, so I took advantage of the situation and rode the FZ1. It was 420 miles for me one way. I did it in about 7 hours with 3 fill ups. I spent a few nights there and then made the reverse trip. 840 miles...
