    Alternatives to GoPro

    I was doing research for another purchase and came across these three alternatives to GoPro. B&H has excellent customer service. Sony HDR-AS100V Error Panasonic HX-A100 Error Panasonic HX-A500 Error

    It's really nice, but you forgot to install the radiator.

    Where to install rocker switch on Gen II FZ1?

    Why is the opening to the cig adapter set up to flip up toward the rider instead of flipping away to the outside?

    New product for detailing

    Similar stuff is used to touch up wooden furniture and leather. It's very convenient. Try it on the window pillars of automobiles too.

    Crashes

    I had a brain fart last weekend going through a familiar s-curve near my home. Woke me up fast and reminded that one's full attention is needed when riding.

    Chinese Ebay windscreen and Satan highway pegs

    Looks like you are carrying a spare tire off the rear in the picture of the bike.

    Ninja 1000, Monster 1200 "safety" stuff

    If I was in the market for a new bike and already owned an FZ-1, the best compromise would be a Kawasaki ZX-14. I see new 2013 leftovers from $11.5k to $12.6k OTD. That is a lot of bike for the $.

    Just picked this up today

    Yeah, I like the bags too. Where's the top bag?

    New FZ1 owner from Philly region

    Paint color is called Cobalt blue. Don't park the bike in the sun because the gel seat will toast your nads.

    Anyone ever owned either a BMW 1200GS or Yamaha FJ1300?

    The bottom line is your budget. Both bikes are good choices. It might take you a week or longer to get adjusted to a Goldwing or other full sized touring bike while you could get up on a FJR or GS and be good after a couple of hundred miles. I would definitely go with an FJR if purchasing and...

    Looking into the FZ1

    Since you are a Yamaha fan, the logical choice would be the FZ-1. It should also be the emotional favorite. As you have the budget you might look for a new leftover 2012 or 2013. They should retail for around $7k or less. A dealer might have a used one in his fleet you can test ride...

    Honda NM4 Announced

    Almost every time Honda makes a 700cc it is an oddball. A 750 scooter which might be priced in excess of the moon.

    priapism caused by bmw motorcycle

    He should be made to pay BMW's court costs.

    need help for new bike

    I would take a half faring over ABS simply to help keep the bugs, rocks and debris off my face. ABS is good to have, but not a deal winner or breaker. I would look at the overall condition of the specific bike.

    Mechanics or Service Techs ?

    Maybe on the carb they cut the time because they incorporated the clean into a rebuild instead of individual services. They can only bill the customer for the normal labor time. As far as cutting your weekly pay, I would have paid you and had a conversation to let you know about billing rates...

    New 2013 FZ1 owner as of today!

    Why tint your screen when you can get a smoked one on fleabay for $20? T-Rex frame sliders too.

    New 2013 FZ1 owner as of today!

    The black can and black rims are the only difference between it and my 09' Cobalt. FYI, first oil change go synthetic Mobil 1 or Amsoil because it will take the notch out of shifting. Traditional mineral oil also breaks down much quicker as you will find the bike runs hot under 4500 RPMs.

    Save My Marriage!

    New bikes are always nice, but it's a sideways move. I would go FZ-09 next year or FJR or ZX-14, since I already have an FZ-1. If I did not have an FZ-1, yes I could see going Ninja, but I don't get too emotional over bikes and cars because that is when you make spontaneous decisions which...
