Great bike, this one and fz6 are very under rated overall but absolute perfect super fun street motorcycles. You gonna rip some twisties up on these after all those heavy handed Connie days. Change name to fizzer1? 

? Nah.  I am not getting rid of the Connie anytime soon.  You are right about the name selection.  It was short sited.

 This is why I was hesitant to even post in here. I'd love to do a track day, but not on the FJR. This winter, I hope to find a 2nd bike, maybe it will be more track capable...

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've got a Cycle Hill changer, and it does a good job.  I have never tried the other options.

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?

Did you check out the Venture inside for me?

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.

"***riders must be 25 years of age"  keep doing free demos, but how is this ageist discrimination allowed in this day and age.

Thank God it's age and not maturity, or they would never let me ride.

I got to ride the R1and the FZ10. I love the sound of the crossplane motor.  The FZ10 is a great bike.  Smooth, powerful, and great  handing. 

I am downloading my last few months worth of photos ave can across this one.   My thoughts and prayers are with you Jerry.

if you both sign up it puts us at 8 which is the minimum amount needed so sign up and get us to 8 so I can re-schedule the draft

I signed up, but I hate my team name. 

I will also play if it comes together

Rode to work this morning in the 50s. I'm not ready for this cool weather stuff.

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.

And it breaks rule #1: Don't be a dick.

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).

Anyone want to change two tires for me, balance them, and add angled valves? Hilliard/Columbus area. Or should I learn to do them myself? I've only done bicycle tires, but I know about popping a bead. Don't have a balancing setup though.

Here you go:

Those are supposed to be really nice! I just didn't feel like dropping that kind of cash for one.

They are nice.  It is pretty much a Honda Pilot with a bed in lieu of the 3rd row.  It doesn't ride like a truck, and the Es are nicely equipped.

He says it's a "Man's Truck"

You should,  not a real truck..

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. 

I no longer feel guilty about spending that much on a new Ridgeline. 

^ +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.

 According to playboy,  millennial's are 20% less likely to search for boobie pics than older generations. Then went on to ask why you think they are less interested in titties?  

Why?  I'll tell you why, because the weird little bastards are eating ass. That's right, the nasty little buggas are licking each other's butt holes!

 

I thought that once you see one boob,  you want to see them all.  I  also thought Playboy went the way of the dinosaur. 

The owner obviously can't lean their bike over very far in the turns.

New radiators on the CRF.  Hopefully, some trail riding this weekend to check it out.

Stay strong Jerry!
