    The 4G is much better than my 3G....no comparison, but still not what either of us is seeing on cable at home. I use my air card in client offices where I'm consulting so I can continue business with other clients and not use the email where I'm working, but I have gotten a work at home contract...

    I'd like to see one on your 4G card! I'm coming up for renewal and interested in how 4G does, may be the new way to go, would help to know how much better. I've seen others claim that their 4G card was faster than their cable at home, but I can never find out what cable they have at home...

    Since I was depending on my air card for the last few days until Comcast could get to me, I decided to check my air card's performance. I knew it was slower, but just not how slow it really is. So much for 3G network performance....

    A little better....at least its back on!! Comcast just left - been having intermittent probs that started Monday with the connection - he found a bad piece of cable from the pole to the house (same piece was replaced ~2.5yrs ago). Nice to have a phone back in working order finally...

    What did you do to your FZ today?

    Got a chance to ride mine, something that's turning out to be altogether too rare here of late.....too much work!

    RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Edition

    I have an '84 RZ350 I bought new - my last job as a mechanic was servicing my RZ350. Mine is the Red and White version. I've been thru this several times with the carbs on mine - the stock main and pilot jets are brass. Modern gas makes the brass grow a green fuzzy looking material that is...

    Got a new toy!

    My wife wants an IPAD badly....she spent the past weekend playing with a friends IPAD 2 and came home all excited. I had convinced her to wait for the new IPAD 3, but since we're Android with our phones this just makes so much more sense and after seeing the product info on the Transformer...

    R1 forks brake line question

    Have been told that the FZ1 lines fit by folks that have done it on the 'other' board.

    Wow, that's so cool, for someone that mostly rides alone, it's a great thing to have. The wife already feels better.......:tup:

    Caution about using the Canyon Dancer - been using one since '97 when I got my CBR600) - do not allow anyone to insert key and turn the key on while the bike is strapped down!! On both my CBR and FZ1, when the bike is tied down, either the starter (CBR) or the horn button (FZ1) is depressed...

    I have always loaded and unloaded my bikes by myself onto my truck. I put the truck in the street and back it up to the curb until the rear wheels touch the curb. I load the bike coming out of the yard using an 8' ramp. This drops the height considerably, but the dicey part is always the step...

    Corbin or Yamaha Comfort Seat?

    I have a Sargent seat om my FZ1 and find it pretty hard. I hope it will break in a little with more use. Also wonder if my 155lb weight has anything to do with how it sits.....

    center stand operation

    Once you get the bike moving, the key is putting your weight on that tab where your foot goes on the center stand, leverage there is what brings bike all the way up on the stand. Takes a few tries to see that, but once you do its easy from then on.

    Do you guys know of a surveillance system for hit and runs? My 2nd case in 3 months!!

    Know the feeling - some scumbag tried to steal my CBR600F3 at Daytona during Bike Week in '04, but didn't see the Kryptonite disk lock. When they tried to roll it away, disk lock hit the fork leg and down it went - they took off, leaving it laying there for me to find. Cost plenty - mirror...

    Show us your fz.

    I was looking for a deal more than a color, this one popped up for $6999 out the door about ~250mi away. Look around on the internet and see what kind of prices you can find and where. Then see if the dealer will match or get close, he prob would like to see it sold. Good luck!

    Show us your fz.

    Pic was taken right off my truck after bringing it home from dealership. 0.2miles showing - was bought out of state. It has black (raven) front fender, fairing and the rest is gray with greenish wheels. Hard to capture the contrast, it either looks all black or all gray

    On the hunt for a cheap collector bike!

    I've got an '84 RZ350 that's been babied all its life - my last job as a mechanic was selecting and pulling the crate out of the warehouse and servicing it for delivery. No one has ever ridden it but me and its never been wet. I stopped riding it several years ago due to it's intolerance for...

    I saw that with Chrome too - had to log back in, but only the 1st few times I came back. Seems to be working fine now.....
