  1. This ^ Have always stayed away from the synthetic stuff, but if it grows in a field or pasture, I might have tried it. ????
  2. Don't get me wrong, I have been places I did not want to go, always had friends to talk you off the mental edge. Now once I did something and nobody informed me I needed an overnight bag for the trip.
  3. Fetal position and covered in snacks... Been there. Too high, is there such a thing?
  4. Doc you are welcome to join us on our ride. Meeting at Wooster 730 road at 8. 83->78->377->550->26->260->800->78->83 Longer than you are looking for but could meet and cut off to suite your schedule. It will be a couple forum members and some non forum members, but all solid riders with diverse bikes.
  5. Great choice! It will do anything you should ever do on the road!
  6. This would be a great promo for traction control! Could not tell the condition of the tires, but they hydroplaned for sure.
  7. If it's central, you will for sure have a better turnout. Subscribed
  8. Home safe, was a great ride with great people! 370 miles logged. Thanks to everyone who rode today...good clean fun and only a couple laws broken.
  9. He only picked it up on Tuesday, and had to travel for work the rest of the week. He had a small shakedown ride on Tuesday but will not have ride time until this Saturday.
  10. Why anyone would vote for either parties house brand is disturbing to me. This country is a train wreck after the last 20 years of house brand leaders.
  11. Honda has had this reputation for 30+ years. They have held fast to an electronic design that leaves them open to failure. This is not a new thing and in most cases I have felt with, care of the machine has been the main culprit.
  12. If you are bound to a shop, there is no better than All Seasons in Wooster. They will do a good job, but you will pay dealer prices.
  13. Radial has better ride, better control of tire shape over bumps. and during lean angle. This all equates to better traction, control and feel. Also, a radial will not follow road groves like bias ply tires. Bias are better than they use to be, but not at the level of radial tires. The only advantage I see from bias is they tend to get more mileage compared to equivalent radials.
  14. There are still a bunch of people who think doing personal transactions with a check is fine. No cash; no ride, no offers, you get to walk. It takes 5 minutes to stop at the bank and come prepared. Come ready to buy or go home.
  15. Right now it's one of the better looking liter bikes.
  16. My OCD carb synchronizer... http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s488/whaler1993/0859FE19-878F-4EA9-875E-CFE6459E6C64.jpg PLC with 8" color touch screen 16 bit inputs and accurate to about 2 mm of mercury. Most bikes need to be within 2 cm of mercury (20 mm). http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s488/whaler1993/59B90E45-0CA7-4DD5-8B8C-60B414CF5485.jpg Gage view
  17. FZ6 is another rock solid bike and 2008 has better brakes and fuel injection mapping!
  18. This would be a mistake! Fast, but ugly as sin.
  19. No Issues to speak of... 01-02 have had some issues with second gear (if abused), this was fixed on 03-05. Great bike, fast, comfortable and anvil reliable!
