Let's just do a road trip and trailer it to its new home!

It's the new meaning of conceal carry!

Welcome to the OR community!

^This. FZ1 is way more comfortable. They did change the seat on the second gen, so you might want to sit on them both before you decide. The seat on the 1st gen is way more comfortable IMO.

Maybe you aren't fast enough to get around the slow traffic you speak of!

I have to say that Trooper didn't stand a chance. He was 50 mi away from him in about 30 sec. That thing has some amazing power! But, he put himself at very high risk at those speeds and I hope the dash cam didn't get the plate or they will be waiting for him when he gets home!

I wonder if we could get 800 in there somehow, the lower half is fantastic.

What are you talking about Gramps? The last couple times we came across 78 it was clean in both directions. It is a fantastic road and newly paved, my vote is to keep it in the loop. I will say that I am not a fan of 26, the road is shitty and always dirty.

OR definitely keeps me going through the winter. Misery loves company, so at least talking about motorcycles and riding is better than nothing at all! Oh, almost forgot, there is that FIRST thing as well.

Welcome to Ohio, the birthplace to all drivers! I have to deal with this every day including the dummies on their cell phones. I watched a girl holding up the left lane for miles while barely doing the same speed as the truckers in the right lane. Every time a car got close she would brake check them forcing them to pass on the right. Eventually I had to deal with the cunt and she did the same thing to me, so I stayed at least a car length away and she made it clear with the shouting and middle finger that I was somehow doing something wrong. She proceeded to keep all of us behind her until she decided to cut off the semi next to her to get off the highway and barely made the exit all while displaying the middle finger to everyone. Clearly this woman didn't give a shit if she wrecked someone or herself in the process. Where do they come from?

I love my FZ1, it is a very solid dependable bike. I liked the FZ1 so much, after I totaled my first one I decided to get another one. Comfortable seating position and plenty of power. You cant go wrong with a first Gen FZ1. If you do decide to get one, I suggest an Ivans jet kit, as it will help tremendously with the buzz between 4-5K RPM and throttle response. @whaler and I have worked on multiple FZ1s for years and know pretty much everything about them if you have any specific questions. Good luck with your purchase, there are quite a few out there. I found mine in southern Indiana with 7K mi and all original in near perfect condition.

My wife and I rode with our first in the oven until it was just too uncomfortable for her. When she was pregnant with our twins, we just waited until they were born due to the extra risk factors.

I have some video as well. Going to take some time to drudge through it all.

Here ya go OR!
