Some women don't.

My wife being one. :roll: :frusty:

I hear you. My wife does not show even a bit of curiosity in bikes or riding. After living together for 10 years this is the very first time when I do not understand her. You do not have to be a rider, but ignoring this huge part of me is kind ...

Awesome... I keep hearing good stuff about the bike... Hopefully next year, my financial situation will let me grab one up... sounds like I should shoot for the '05 model...

Have you had any problems regarding the fuel injection system? That's the only negative thing I've read about them in ...

FZ6

I have my FZ6 for about 3 months – it’s a '05 model and have a little more then 3000 miles on it.
I bought this bike because it was the only one that satisfied all the conditions that I laid out while researching:

- price around $6K
- liquid cooled
- fuel injected
- large fuel tank (5.2)
- dual ...

riding speed

I do feel comfortable to ride at the speed limit or 5-10 mph above that, but unfortunately the tailgaters make me go to 20-25 above all the time. The roads are pretty crowded in NJ and I have not really came up with the solution to handle these situations so far...

I actually don't carry a spare tire either. :laughing:

I guess it's just different society. No one carries guns here except police and criminals, so the saying goes.

Gee, I had spent first half of my life in Communist Russia and we had the same gun laws as you in B.C. I didn't really care about ...

horn recomendation

The stock horn on my FZ6 does not seem to be sufficiently loud.
Could anyone recommend a good horn? What should I specifically look at, when shopping around?

Thanks.

riding in the rain

If rain isn't that bad I have no problem to ride. But the question - how to handle a traffic? The cars (even driven by obviously inexperienced drivers) are not slowing down at all. It gets very risky on the HWY. Please share your experience on how you handle a traffic pushing you go faster and ...
