Nice, I love the deck and the pad in the back. But why must guys always think about shooting animals? Why not enjoy the beautiful wild life by looking at it as it is so close to the house? Sad, b/c it ain't hunting.

Ok, will do... For now we are getting out of riding I guess. Reason being we come from an awesome riding area in Germany. I mean you could leave your driveway and be in switchbacks and sweeping curves. So you could go after work for about 30 minutes and get your fix. I used to ride about 5000 miles a year, which for some is still not a whole lot but I hate to see my bike just sit there and depreciate and pay on insurance. I love riding, and I love my Yami, but I am just not excited about riding here. :-( This is where I am from in Germany....maybe then you'll understand...lol http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Spangdahlem,+Germany&hl=en&ll=49.95873,6.734962&spn=0.13407,0.307274&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=42.089199,78.662109&t=h&z=12

We made the decision and hubby and I will sell our bikes...We love them but we just do not ride them enough....my 2000 miles in 2 yrs are proof!! :-( I want $7100 for the Fazer and we are not sure about a price for the Bandit yet. Figured we start here before we put them on Craigslist.

Glad they were friendly. Do you know what they did with them? Or did they own the dogs? Thing is, if they are taken to a shelter here in OH, they will be put down. The Owner has 3 days to get them, if not, Pitbull breeds and Mixes will be destroyed! I hate this law, b/c in other states they adopt Pitbulls out after doing a character test on them.

Just read this, wow that is a scary accident...colliding with a truck...I hope they will be ok!!! http://www.whiotv.com/news/27976931/detail.html

pretty good quality screener actually.... I will tell hubby about that later.. :-)

haha...thanks Nick...

I owned the FZ6 before I owned the FZ1. And I consider those bikes sport bikes - i do call it a sport-touring bike. Because it can be ridden like a sport bike, but it can be ridden comfortably longer than a sport bike. Handling is awesome and it has the R6/1 engine in it.

I'll be 40 in August....

I would like to see a poll on how many people DON"T wear gear... :-)

I rather sweat than bleed!!! No skin below the chin. Wearing Helmet, gloves, boots, cordura suit with plastic pads. If push comes to shove I want to be sure I have done all I can do protect myself. I hate: I wish I would have's.....

Congratulations!!!! Just one question - Why did you not think you'd be that excited???? Isn't it norrmal for a new Dad to be excited??

German Perfection....- what can I say!

that's a bunch of bullshit!!! I have an 11 year old dog and she would do the same...protect our home...they could have retreated back out the door. It is just so easy to shoot a poor animal. Trigger happy, that is all I can say. She growled at them, that does not make a dog a biter. For most of those family pets, you make one step towards them, they retreat. Sad....

...and this is not even cheating. Every person knows that your story IS the best motorcycling story ever! I added my vote and then I saw your votes...lol...guess you'll get to enjoy the 500 bones! :-) Also I commend you on your strength! Keep it up

which cruise line did you take? sounds like the one we took...just backwards...we started in Barcelona and ended in Venice... We went with Holland America 2 years ago. Isn't it awesome????

OMG...how the heck did you do that????

we'll see ya there!!!

how long is the entire trip????

Gibby and myself want to go for a ride tomorrow...Anybody care to join us? I know this is short notice. Don't have a ride planned yet either. We still don't know the country roads around here. So if someone wants to go and maybe even knows of good roads around here..let me know. Mel

Sorry to hear this! Hope she will recover quickly and without any remaining problems.
