    Riding backpacks

    I've got this one and would not recommend it. Not thrilled with the quality for $100+. It's heavy. And the zippers are cheap. The sleeves do come off, but it's a hassle to use them, so I took them off. Without the sleeves the fit is not great. I use it as my commuter pack and got it for...

    How do you secure your FZ1 at home?

    I'm interested to hear about other owners' security measures. Presently I have to park my motorcycles outside in the driveway and only have a cover to keep people guessing. I'm looking for ideas to improve security, and am curious to hear about specific types of locks, cameras, alarms, etc...

    Falling Pole Saw = Damaged FZ1 Tank

    I've had my 2007 FZ1 for less than a month and now I have two deep gouges (down to the metal) on my gas tank. Here's the story: I have to park my motorcycles in the driveway next to the trash enclosure, since I live in an apartment above the garage of a house. The garage has been converted...

    Motorcycle Roadside Assistance

    After three years of paying my insurance company for roadside assistance, I just found out that the motorcycles on my policy are not covered if I need to use the roadside assistance. I'm thinking of joining the AMA to get their motorcycle roadside assistance. At $39 a year for membership...

    Strategy needed to get cages to BACK OFF!

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I tried the flashing the brake lights and "crazy Ivan" swerving on the way home this evening with some apparent success. As for the suggestions that may piss someone off, i.e. tossing nails, coins, etc., that would definitely be satisfying. However...

    Strategy needed to get cages to BACK OFF!

    What strategy (preferably friendly) do you use to get drivers to give you more space when just gunning it to escape is not an option? I have commuted on CA freeways in heavy traffic for years and continue to struggle with cars driving too close.

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?

    The guy had 7 bikes plus a plane in his garage/airplane hanger! He had two Harleys, a Triumph Tiger 800, a KLR 650, a Honda Goldwing, a Suzuki GZ250 (for his wife), and the FZ1. Too many bikes/toys, so little time. Wouldn't we all like to have that problem?

    Sounds good to me. There are some great places to ride near here. Ojai and the 33 are about 40 minutes away.

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?

    Good advice. I've had that same thought. I can't believe the seller paid $800 for that ugly turtle shell. I mean there isn't even a live turtle inside. The seller also included a brand new set of Dunlop Sportmax Q2 tires that I would like to sell. I'm Michelin Pilot Road fan.

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?

    Thanks for the input everyone. After over 600 miles round trip and 13 hours away from home, I bought this bike today. Almost had a youtube worthy fail trying to load the bike into the bed of my truck, but I came to my senses after one half-assed try at trying to ride the FZ1 up the ramp...

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?

    Thanks. The price was $6300. $5800 is the guys "best price". I don't think I'll be getting it for $5200, but that would certainly be nice.

    Planning to buy 2007 FZ1 tomorrow for $5800. Is this a good deal?
