Not sure how many of you caught the first episode (I was camping at the Blue Ridge Mountains Motorcycle Campground and forgot to set my VCR) but luckily it came on again last night. The first episode all takes place within 200 miles of my house so I hatched a brilliant plant to sort of re-trace...

Thanks Steph, that's the sort of thing I was thinking. I was actually goign to just add a layer of the gel insert to the whole seat without cutting any of the foam. The gel pad I'm looking at comes in a 5 square foot sheet and I can cut it to fit my needs. I've also seen upholstry shops using...

I've had the FJR 3 weeks and drug my right pegs the day after I got her with my wife on the back. I did it again even worse this past weekend on Highway 28 between Highlands, NC and Walhalla, SC. It's never my intention to drag the pegs but I guess I'm too used to the ZZR cornering clearance...

After 13 hours Saturday and 10 Hours Sunday I discovered that I can't lean on the tank and take the weight off my rear end and my butt bones (is there a medical term for them?) started feeling a bit bruised. I still have the factory seats and I consider them very comfortable but I guess...

Mike, I'll definatly look you up the next time I'm in the area. There's a member on the ZZR Forum that just moved up to Johnson City from Florida and offered me his spare bedroom so I'lll definately get back there eventually, if I get back from "elsewhere" in time I'll be back this year. If...

Most ZZR owners run 40-42 in the front Z6's without any trouble. I keep my front at 40 PSI on both bikes and so far so good.

Well I made it back from my 915 mile journey this weekend with a brand new Z6 on the front and didn't have any trouble. Most of Saturday's ride was in the rain and the Z6 had plenty of traction, then Sunday was a mix of rain and sun and the Z6 performed well in both conditions. I've used the...

Yes the detour is still there and would not have been too bad without the traffic, but if you go through there on a weekend it will have a suck factor of 10.

I don't know any in the area but you definatley need to request a jury trial. It will drag out for a while and eventually might get dropped alltogether. Short of that, see if the Tennessee bar association has a referral service. In SC, attorneys will give you a free hour of consultation to...

Well I'll title that trip Bumpers, Brake Lights and Bad Weather. :angry2: We had a great visit with you Mike and glad we got a chance to meet. Thanks for navigating our way through Shady Valley and on to HWY 321. I can see now that I'll have to re-visit those roads when it's clear and...

I feel ya Super D with my FJR and ZZR1200. :)

Well whatever you do, don't get her armored hip pads in her pants, she'll obsess about her butt looking too big in them... :huh:

My ZZR is pretty closely matched to a Busa and I've run away from one in the twisties before (lucky I guess). It's weird going back and forth between the bikes and noticing the differences. I've done 14 hour days on my ZZR before but I can tell it will be a lot easier to spend that time on the...

Thanks for the LEO head's up Heidi! We'll be taking it safely as my wife is still relatively new at being a pillon and I'm relatively new at carrying a passenger. Looking forward to the ride tomorrow Mike. We are goign to try to leave our driveway at 5AM so we should have plenty of time to...

My son was born in England, on a US Military installation and moved to the US when he was 6 months old. He is a US citizen but has dual citizenship in England as well.

Years ago I took a canoe trip down the Wateree River from Hwy 378 all the way through and to the I-95 side of Lake Marion. 2 days of non-stop rowing, that river does not move after all... Also, the map shows the river relatively straight... :dribble: It's got more curves than a Weight...

Are you a member of ZZRBikes.com yet? We've got quite a few 14 owners over there and several sub forums just for the 14.

Oh how i want to live out west. The scenery is so much more dramatic and seems made for sport touring. I am within 3 hours of the Smoky mountains so I can still get my fix but I really want to move to St George, Utah when I retire...

wasw, sorry I tried to hijack your thread but I was feeling your joy and had to participate! Your photos are incredible. Where is that?

Brazos, I hope to meet you there if it works out. If you want to PM me your cell # (dosen't everyone carry these now?) I can call you if we get diverted or know for sure we are NOT going to make it, that way you won't be waiting around for nothing. Looking forward to Shady Valley.
