    Considering getting a Different bike

    Wow that was fast - only had the Fz07 for about a year, and the ninja 300 for 6 months. I've liked the power boost on the Fz, the torque is exciting if not rarely usable going the speed limit. With my renewal coming up in Sept, I don't expect a price drop, have gotten my full M but even then...

    Lately riding on the streets I've been wanting to hop on a curb & then off it for some elevation changes, needless to say tried it with a giggle.

    Surprising view shift change for cars

    I upgraded from my Ninja 300 to a new bike about a month ago now, wanted something with more top end for highway riding, less gear shifting, tons of lower end torque. Traded in for a 2015 Fz07, this thing is insane. The power increase feels massive, the torque at low RPM is ridiculous, having...

    Reliable weather forecasting ?

    For the past 2 days theweathernetwork has been hedging bets on rain and thunder. It's been no rain and all sun with a few clouds, this is ridiculous. Is there any better weather forecasting I'm not aware of?

    Not sure what happend to the other thread, I picked up my Ninja on Friday and rode it around for about 100K over Saturday & Sunday, any noticeable salt was around the side of the roads where no one drives.

    GPS's for finding twisty roads?

    Curious what you guys do when looking for places to ride, I've been thinking about getting some sort of GPS with a feature to find windy roads that would be fun rather than just straightaways. I've looked at some with most costing half a 1000 dollars, are there any that aren't ridiculously...

    Sore Balls after only a day of riding

    Like the title says, I had a rental Cbr300 for a day while I'm waiting for extra parking to put my bike. It was great fun but for about 4 days after my balls were aching. Not painful to warrant a visit to a doc and the feeling went away on it's own, but I could use some advice on how to prevent...
