  1. 1996 Yamaha FZR 600

    Older look stands out against newer sportsbikes

    Comfortable riding postion isn't too far forward

    Plenty of power and speed for normal, sane riding. Not read for stupid fast yet.

    Parts are not too hard to come by for relatively cheap.

    Cool that back in the 90's this was a top competitor bike

    Single sided exhaust makes use of the helmet lock possible, my Ninja 250 had dual exhaust.

    cheap insurance

    Dislikes:

    Aftermarket mods are hard to come by

    At low speeds and RPM's it likes to lurch a bit, might be a tuning issue

    Valve adjustments are done by shims and not by locking screws.

    I tend to slide up on the seat a lot and the gas tank cover gets into my junk

    Stock mirrors let me see my shoulders/elbows

    Mods:

    Other than paint, nothing major.

  2. Just what we need, more excuses for cops to pull us over.

    If you drive like an asshat, you're ALWAYS going to drive like an asshat until you kill yourself or someone else. All some law is going to do is make people even less focused on the road because now they're focused on texting AND looking out for cops catching them texting.

    Hell, it won't deter some people at all. People still don't wear their seatbelts either.

    +1

  3. Alot of younger folks have actually learned to use one hand to text on the qwerty type phones. I can do it with my iphone too.

    I just cant see enforcing this law. Sure we theres always going back into phone records, but thats just ridiculous for every possible offender.

    Most of the people I've seen use both. I just have a military spec flip phone so I don't text much. I do agree it'll be hard to enforce as a "Catch on the fly" type citation. That's the only way I could think of getting caught before an accident and then they check records when an accident does happen.
