I've sat on, asked friends and read about many many different bikes, and there are so many good choises it's unreal. Not to mention, with everyone ditching their toys, the used market is huge. The FZ's are still hard to come by, but there are a few out there, just the year and color were the...
:hurray: Found what I wanted, finally. '07 Yamaha FZ1 mechanicaly stock, un-molested, adult riden, black on red :thumbsup: I'm going to pick it up in a few hours. Pictures and first ride thoughts soon to come........ :drool5: :grin:
Love the inlines at 13k.....but the NASCaR like sound of a 1200cc, V4, 110rwhp open exhaust inspired V-Max....... :o16: Only thing better is a Ducati 1000cc L-Twin buzzing at 12,000rpm. :drool5::drool5:
):h here's some sound clips

That could all happen if he was riding the bike correctly and safely, too. :rolleyes5:
The most dangerous people to me are the self absorbed people who are texting or talking on their cellphone, not paying attention to the road, pulls out infront of me or change lanes without looking and...
It's suppose to be sunny and almost 60 here tomorrow. After work, I'm planning on takeing the V-Max out to test the new clutch I just put in.:thumbsup: Should be fun. :D
Well it's a new year :thumbsup: and we did our annual New Year's day ride to get lunch in Bay City, TX. It's the only ride I/we do in rain, sleet, snow, ice, or shine :smile5: On the plus side it was 50* and clear. :thumbsup: So I've got 240 miles for the year right now. :smile5:

Although I'm not a huge fan of them, it realy suck ass. It's another blow to the economy and workers of Buell. I think Erik Buell has some realy good ideas, but lacked the funding, R&D and execution to make it truely...
The Vulcan has come a long way. I didn't realize they are running 2000cc in those things now :eek:
Love the black on black..........less to polish. :thumbsup:
I can store it here for the winter ):h I promise I will only ride it here in the neighborhood, just to keep the fluids going till you get it back.......... :D

I guess it depends on how aggressive you get ;) On the same hand, someone probably has a program to defeat it. :thumbsup:
My friend was telling me about it and he's not a bs'er. He was jacking around with it and he said as soon as it got sideways, poof, it started to cut out. That stuff and the speed limiter is about the only thing that has shy'ed me away form the thing. Other than that, they are cool as hell...
The only problem I've found or heard with them is you can't have "fun". It has a speed limiter set at like 110-120mph, you can't fish-tail, power brake, burnout, wheelie or anything of the sort or the computer will shut you down. Other than that they are fun to ride with a shit load of power...
Yep, that's the Rumble on the River rally. He moved it from Liberty to Bandera. It's a small 1500-2000 people rally. I've been the last 3 years to that one, but I have things going on that weekend, so I can't go :(
Watch out for cops that weekend, they like to prowl when there is an...
Did 220 miles last weekend (solo) in the Texas Hill Country. Took the toyhauler to the Frio River in Concan. I rode to Leaky, down 337 to Vanderpool, then up to Kerrville via 36. Swong 16 back to Medina and back on 337 to Leaky and then back to the trailer in Concan. That was 160 miles for...
