    Husqvarna Announces Radical New Streetbikes

    If Ikea made bikes they would look like that.

    2015 Kawasaki Versys 1000 LT and Versys 650 LT Preview

    They need to cover the shock on the 650, although some buyers might prefer the minimalist (Soviet-agricultural) look.

    Just got an FZ1 and I hate it.

    The stock seat is worst I ever sat on, so I upgraded. Everything else is fine as expected, but I purchased new. I also added riser inserts ($30) for a slightly better upright riding position that allowed me to keep the stock cables. Maybe the previous owner did something that is affecting...

    garage door opener

    I leave the side door to the garage open and hang a spare opener on a tucked away ladder next to the door. Leave the bike running and dismount. Walk 10 feet and open the door.

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    Rode to the gym on our first cold day of the season where it dipped into the 60s this morning. I noticed my bike runs around 189* in the cool weather and the touring Dunlops have slightly harder compund and behave differently than the OEMs.

    Vintage Japanese Motorcycles

    Funny thing is the paint looks better than OEM because the high gloss is modern. Some of the nickle looks polished out, but original. Another point, you still don't see any vintage or modern chinese made bikes worth displaying now or in the future.

    YZF-R3 -- 321cc sportbike. USA-bound, too!

    Should have class leading power because it has class leading displacement. The Ninja twin is a 296cc and the Honda CBR single is 286. Yamaha is making a statement with it's new lines. I think they leapfrogged Honda and only have to deal with Kawasaki. Will Yamaha release a large touring...

    New guy here....

    Make sure you do not over throttle and let it get away from you. You go over 8k RPMs without enough following distance you could find some trouble. Also watch it does not throw you backward and off if you over throttle. Learn the new bike and take it easy at first.

    rear wheel bearing sizes/part numbers query

    I just replaced the OEM tires (4500 miles) and my mechanic told me to bring in a new set of bearings next time I need tires.

    Maui the last nine days.

    No helmet laws in Florida either. There is always somebody riding around with a helmet locked to the bike instead of on the rider's head. Usually a fatality at Daytona Bike Week too because somebody was drunk or high and not wearing a helmet.

    Lightening strikes...

    I was driving on I-75 last month and lightning struck the road about fifty feet in front of my car while I was doing 70mph. There was a bright flash and a loud bang or explosion. I almost crapped in my underpants, but did manage a few F-bombs. Lightning is extremely dangerous.

    Bridgestone $40 Rebate

    The price of tires has come down since maybe 10 years ago. I just changed my stock tires last week and what a difference. Some of the excessive wear was due to the crown in our Florida roads and some of it was from not paying close enough attention to the tire pressure. In any case, life is...
