My least favorite is my 85/280 commute. 280 might as well be just a bunch of puzzle pieces stuck together, and 85 has gigantic divots everywhere.

What stretch of 280 is that? In San Jose it was always the nice highway.

280 in Cupertino is like a washing board. I swear my old bike was bouncing.

Edit: I usually felt the need to stand on the foot pegs so my vision wasn't so shaky.

The reason I love that shape is because it still looks completely modern and like a million dollar spaceship instead of a tatty old ducati.

It really has aged well, the only thing that gives it away as an older bike is the front brakes, other than that it still looks very modern.

Moving to CA has made me appreciate the fact that TN's gas tax went straight into the road fund and not into the state's general fund.

Posted this not to long ago in the gear thread (yes brown deckshoes) but I feel like I make my FZ1 look pretty small too.

To be fair it's lowered an inch... I'm raising it back up, just waiting for parts.

Second Ulysses I've picked up from somebody because it's too tall for their wife. This one is unmolested. I'm going to leave it how it is and just put miles on it. I ran my finger along the inside of the frame and it came out clean.

guy I got the 06 from posted:

the only and I mean only reason im getting rid of it is it is to tall for her to ride and has been a sore spot since I traded of my 2002 vfr 800 and cash to get it . she loved that bike and I guess I thought she would grow to love the buell as much as I do but , she didn’t.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
Well that's one way to learn your wife has taste :smug:

Maybe he meant she hates it as a passenger? My dad had one and my mom refused to ride on the back of it because it was too tall.
