I only really had about a mile (1.6km) but I went from 80mph (129kmph) to 143mph (230kmph) indicated. I was tracking my speed with my phone/gps and the top speed was actually 133mph (214kmph). The only significant mod I had at the time was the Danmoto XG-1 slip-on and got rid of the mirrors and...

I am speechless... I'd be completely fine if a cop was at our level and just apologize (if there was no damage of course). "hey, sorry I was checking you out to make sure you wouldn't do something stupid and I'm the one who was following you too closely. I don't see any damage, keep riding...

So I finally got the slip-on I wanted. A nice custom made simple carbon fiber can without any branding. It now replaces my beloved and deafening Danmoto XG-1. I just put it on and it sounds pretty sweet. The light was crappy so better pictures will come later. In the meantime I took a little...

Hey, Sorry I just got to your message, I haven't been coming on the forum that often anymore. Thanks for the compliments. The seat is a Top Sellerie seat from France. It actually quite pricey (between $400 and $500 depending on finishes) but is very comfy and yes, well made. It is highly...

Still rode the 8 in, with overly used tires...

Gotta love Los Angeles weather (though it rained this morning)...

Ok, not to get off subject, 'cause, you know, suspension work is awesome. But have you ever done the Gloucestershire Cheese Roll? Gloucestershire Cheese Roll If so you are my new hero!

You know this about the LFA right? Yamaha Wants You To Hear The Lexus LFA

It's interesting that there is such a thing as a "perfect wreck"... When your rear broke loose, didn't you almost highside? (noob question maybe?)

Can't see it :(

Making me miss France! Though naps aren't too common... I mean, I can't even order a glass of wine during lunchtime at work. What's up with that? On another note, I can't really chime in too much regarding the "loving of the bike". The FZ8 is my first bike and I've only been riding since...

Couldn't agree more. Love that little thing.

Well... Being French I know a little about this. This is actually a French motorcycle journalist testing the bike out for a TV show... Here are more details: Video: Motorcyclist swaps his Bike for a Boat! | diseno-art.com

... looking for track/commuter translator ... I really need to go ride in a safe environment such as a track to learn how to corner and brake properly...

Well, if you want a "fear" price, just go OE to a Yamaha dealer. They should take good care of you... ;)

Dude that's sweet already. How's the light output? Snow season is coming in for me, I won't have time to work on the bike anymore...

Seriously! I need to learn how to ride. Haha

You gotta be kidding me! I ride like a grandpa!

Hehe, people were worried you crashed! You got some recent pics of your bike though?

I'm not experienced enough to throw my 2-cents on the track vs. street rear brake use (I still need to make it to the track one day). But I do use the rear brake every so often and I like to flash the brake light when typical LA drivers tailgate you; which I do both with the rear and front...
