  1. I use the power washer on occasion when I am traveling and it is all messed up. Just stand far away from the bike, no big deal. Been doing that for years.

    Same here. A bike is extremely well sealed. Think about being in rain at speed. The bike is getting blasted! Is that gonna ruin it? No. Don't be stupid and directly spray the chain, axles, swing arm piviot, ignition and thumb switches, etc...
  2. How was the Fz suited to that much distance?

    Since I put an Ohlins on the rear, It handles it fine. Over 80-85 MPH, you get some major pull from the wind blast, but other than that, its great. A bigger windscreen would keep the wind down.

  3. So the woman and I had 2 weeks off and loaded up my FZ for a little tour of the country. Headed to NM to meet some friends in the Air Force that just had their first baby. ebbca54693abc95b81be1454a4923958.jpg Passed thru STL.
