I just picked up an FZ1, so that I can do a track day next year. These threads are the cause. I wish I would have gotten it sooner, so I could have done a track day this year.
I picked up a 2006 gen 2 FZ1 today. It has low milage <14k. It has a set of 5 year old Contmotions that will get changed to some Dunlop Roadsmart 3s in the next week. I have only briefly ridden it, but I think this will be a great compliment to the Connie. It is comfortable, light, and quick. It has an aftermarket slip on pipe, but no reflash. I may get it reflashed. Any suggestions from other FZ1 owners?
I sat on the Venture. It is a nice bike, and it is pretty comfy. The headlights are super bright when the brights are on. It was a couple of bikes behind me in the 10:40 ride.
I think my mesh suit may be put away for the year. I switched to the Gortex suit earlier this week. Are you commuting in the Aerostitch or the Rev'it? I don't use the one piece suit until later in the year.
Rule 2 should be: If your neighbor is being a dick, then draw a dick with gasoline in his grass. Then there will be no doubt that a dick lives there. (I couldn't do it, but as a teenager, I would have done it for a laugh).
It can move our four dirt bikes around in luxury, so it is man enough for me. I don't need a real truck.
I usually don't like spending that much for depreciating assets.
Now let's discuss a man's beer.
^ +1. When using the heated socks, pants, gloves, and jacket, it is like sitting in a hot tub while riding the motorcycle. I have comfortably ridden in the low teens at 80mph, but I have a touring bike with fairings and a large windshield.
