I consider myself independent. I don't agree with McCain on a lot of things. I can't say with a 100% certainty that I will vote for him. There's always Nader :roll: As much as I want to take a baseball bat to all the idiots in D.C. (GOP and Dems) I think I want to take it to the common people of thi...

Our healthcare system is a joke as well. When a hospital charges you $20 for two ibuprofen something ain't right. I dodged a bullet this week. Had an MRI done on my knee back in August. This past Friday I got a bill for almost $1200 and nearly had a heart attack. Turns out it was just a glitch in th...

Welcome to the USSA

Am I the only one the feels we're going to be renaming America to the United Socialist States of America? My head would explode if I had to listen to another debate. Why the hell can't we get either of these clowns to talk straight, lay out the facts and tell us the way it's going to be. Hey, I know...

If you take one of the panels into a paint shop they should be able to match up the color for you. Like sickle said, there were no FZR's done in all blue from the factory. The blue on my bike is called deep blue purple metallic. At least that's what the shop said the Yamaha blue was called, so I wen...

Oh man that sucks.... I was kind of pissed thye cancelled the 250 until I was riding back to the hotel on after the races. The cross wind was scary as hell doing just 50 mph on a 500 pound bike. Going 150+ mph on a racing 250--no way. Hell it was scary driving the damn van home! Lot of power was ou...

I didn't even get a chance to talk to you. :sad After recovering from my mild heart attack walking up the 468 steps to get to you guys I could barely breath let alone speak. Then everybody ran off and had to go play catch up. Once I realized that we weren't going back up I was kicking myself in the ...

they are kinda ugly in person too! Totally agree. After seeing it up close I really hate those headlights now. And the graphics too...just comes across looking like cheap stickers slapped on so the fairings aren't so plain. The R6 didn't look near as bad. Man do they need to make those headlights g...

Made it home safe and sound. Wet day yesterday, but was a good time. Stinks we didn't get to see the 250s run. That wind was something nasty yesterday. Lot of power was out on the north side of Indy on our way home. Was great to meet the guys although it was a bit hard to stay together and meet up. ...

At least the race will be over with before the remnants of Ike comes through Indiana on Sunday.

By the way, any pictures of umbrella girls that end up on my camera will be blamed on you "borrowing" my camera, Tim ;)

I wish Yamaha would get off their ass and stop detuning the FZ1 and let it run rampant like the R1 power plant is supposed to be. Just do what Suzuki did with the B-King. Throw in a switch that limits the power output of the Busa engine and call it a day.

Only gripe is that I'm not real big on the headlights. Almost comes across as if the cowl isn't finished. Still a sexy looking bike, though.
