Hey Chrissy, I'm on there too ... but it scares me. I do a rant to someone and don't know who, where or when the wrong somebody see it. An old flame from 40yrs ago found me on it and now I gotta learn it. Too many people I don't like snooping around ... might be fun DRUNK !!!

Hey Rob, know where ya coming from. Try Marine Tex ... far superior. Brother closed up a gash in his auto's oil pan (on the car) and it lasted forever. It's got better adhesive propertiies. Good luck with it, wish it could fix my problems !!! Paul

Same here, never wanted anything they ever made ... but this I like !!! I had 'em all smokers, thumpers, 1,2,3,4,6 cy;inders and my old CBX remains one of my favorites ... just can't beat the sound of a 6-1 header. But a Ferrari V-12 BB I raced once is close. Maybe I'll get to ride one a Daytona thi...

What's LEGAL?

Hi All, Been awhile since posting because it's been awhile since I've had any problems. Now I need advice and this is the best place I can think of to turn. 25 yrs ago I used to ride my kids around on a CBX, Katana and a XT500 and never got stopped or any dirty looks. Now I've a grandson I want to r...

FZ-1 w/crossplane crank ???

Well yamafans, how long before they put that in a FZ-1 ? Since I'm stuck here in NYC for 3 months riding an SV650 I've come to like having the power down low and NOW, so I'd like the V-8 sound in a more upright sitting position ... how long must I wait ???

SV site?

I've noticed a few guy here are riding SV's. I bought one to make available for non-riders to go riding with me (and to have a backup to work on my FZR1K) I'm up here in NY with it and put 500 mi on it last week . So I want to do some things to it and would like a site to go to as good as this one, ...

No doubt about it ... it takes a special kind of stupidity to ride an HD. I'm passed ALL the time in an 18 wheeler, where they pass ya, pull in tight and then slow down. I'm on cruise control anT the govenors limit of 65 mph, so I don't like to slow up. I can't pass them again because traffic is at ...

Sorry to hear about you mishap, but now you've a reason to buy those UPD forks you've probably been looking at. I just had a root canal and my dentist gave me some percs ... I thought they were great, two will kill the pain in your tooth, but not effect driving ability. And it eases the back pain I ...

Hey Silver, So sorry to hear about your mishap, glad your all right. I ride home on flat rears everytime, a little dicey on the on/off ramps, but better than hanging on the roadside!!! I've never had a front flat except on dirt bikes and managed to stop OK then. I was wondering what I might do if my...
