Re: North Carolina representative
Woot, another Raleigh rider! My wife has been riding her GZ lately, though the weather this week is keeping her off the road. Not sure when we'll be out again, but we love company!

Re: Selling my baby.....

The VTX
Just thought I'd add some pics of my bike. My lovely wife got me a chrome radiator cover for my birthday last month, so try to imagine it with that on there, too!

My wife just started riding after taking the MSF course, too, and she said the same thing. Watching her from my bike, it looks like she's all confidence. Then, we stop and she's shaking and like...

Re: Why?
I have a 1300 and I ride my wife's GZ more often than I do it. Unless I'm planning on going for a longer ride, the GZ is just more fun. It's nimble as hell.
I'm not saying larger bikes don't have...

Re: clutch Washer position??

Re: A new one from Spain
Haha sorry to digress but this brought me back to when I started riding. I used to think "Windshields look terrible. Bags look terrible. Who needs a sissy bar? I like low-profile seats." After a year...

Re: Riding a GZ in China

Re: Need help Ran bike dri!!! OF OIL!
I will never complain about my little GZ's problems again. Keep us in the loop as you work through this.
