    Strider's 2015 Trip Report Thread

    Well, with my big Maine trip coming up in August, I had to get some maintenance done on the bike. With 26K miles on the clock it was time for a valve check/adjustment - and there was no way I was gonna pay the dealership $600 to do it. After getting into it though, I can see why they charge...

    2016 Meet Up Discussion Thread

    It is a little far off, but I am interested in this ride - I need a little more Oregon in my riding life. I usually rent a beach house with my family the week after Labor Day though, so I'll have to wait and see what the final dates are.

    Forum Meetup -- July 25th & 26th, 2015

    All ride safe and have a great time! Looking forward to the pictures as well. Y'all knew from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to make it this time - just too much going on. BUT, maybe next year!

    First big Ride - Suggestions, comments, things to expect?

    The others just about covered it all I think. And they're right about not bringing too much. This is only a weekend trip you said, so you should be able to get by with very little. Jeans were kinda given the thumbs down, but that's what I always wear - not always the coolest thing under...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Sold the Ninja 250 that I bought to repair and flip. Woot! It's out of my garage, and the cash is in the bank!

    Strider's 2015 Trip Report Thread

    Well, shame on me, I forgot to post that picture! Another Pirelli Angel GT. I've been happy enough with them to not even try other tires.

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    Got that little '08 Ninja 250 all buttoned up and listed for sale a few days ago. Even managed to fix most of the damage from when my brother-in-law put it down. All we did was sand, prime, and paint it (more than I was gonna do) but it looks decent. So far one potential buyer has come by to...

    Strider's 2015 Trip Report Thread

    Well, I've had a new rear sitting at the house in my office for a month or so now, and yesterday I noticed that is was probably time to have it mounted up. This means it's time for a new tire, right? I'm not sure of exactly what I got out of that tire mileage wise, because the gauge...

    Don't be a Squid

    I don't know what to say ... I have been passed like that before, and it startled me too. I felt like the guy got awfully close to me when he passed me - too close. After that experience (I was a very new rider at the time) I decided to never do that to another rider. I have passed guys on...

    Yankee coming to the UK- please help

    I saw this on the front page, and although I'm native to Texas I thought I would offer this input. Sell the bike here and get something else over there, or store the bike here and get something else over there. Here's just one link to some info I found after a quick google search. Best wishes...

    What did you do to your Non-FZ1 motorcycle today.

    All the cool kids are posting videos? ... Ok, I'll play. Worked on the '08 250 a bit today. Got the freshly cleaned and reassembled carbs installed, as well as a new battery. Fired her up with no trouble, and took her out for a run around the block. Returned and changed the engine oil and...
