Did my wife tell you to type that? I did read an interesting article the other day about an aussie scientist working on 3d printed titanium/diamond medical implants.
CDolan. He wasn't screwin' around when he grafted the Hypermotard forks to his 847. And I seem to remember him doing the Palomar Observatory run every week. We've had a lot of cool dudes pass through.
Chris is a great guy. Too bad he only has a couple of bikes!!! Lol. Last count 100+. I worked with him when planning the "Big San Diego Ride." back in 2015. First stop was at his place at the base of Palomar Mountain. Excellent rider who knows Palomar like the back of his hand.
I sold my FZ09 in the 2016 and been bike less since, I don’t know what made me log in today as I get weekly subscriptions but never bothered to log in. I used to manufacture the helmet holder bracket installed flush under the seat and sell it on eBay and a few members from the forum bought it from me. So I’m here to say hello to every one old and new member. I also hope that everyone is good and wishing you guys the best in the remaining days of 2019 and hopefully 2020 is going to be better than 2019 for everyone.
Last but not least
Merry Christmas & happy holidays every FZ09 fellow members and their families and to any visitor that’s just checking the forum out.
P.S
I edited because I missed some words and had some grammar error.

This thread caught my eyes,.. Been "gone" for quite a while but I still have a 2014. Probably time for some fresh parts and a thorough "re-fresh"... 16K = new chain, new sprockets, third set of tire, not sure what else... plugs, valves check, ????
LehighLuke. He's a real sweetheart. He showed up in 2014, enthusiastic and getting into the mods when he had a horrific accident. A cager violated his space and nearly killed him. Luke stuck around for a good while after that, but...
Sold the Fizzer about 1.5 year ago since I wasn't riding much anymore. Sort of wish I kept it... Didn't ride much but it was nice to get the bike bug out once in a while. 7600 miles shared between mountain bike, gravel and road bike is not quite the same ?. I might get a new ride this year, we'll see. But anyway, I pop in every now and then to check what you guys are up to LOL
On this I hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you a kickass 2020!
Steve101 ... we had some funny stuff come from him and I do not know why but when I first signed up on this board him and I just hit it off and had a lot of back ground messages back and forth ....
just bought a black 2017, 30,000ks, bog stock except for an Akra carbon. still has the legally required tyre hugging plate holder.
I've bought a rear rack because I'm a commuter, and a set of GB racing covers.
My last one was still fine at 66,000ks, and replacing a clutch basket or they go for 100,000 miles, so I'm not worried about mileage.
I'd post pics, but it looks like any stock pics of black MT's.
Once i sell my CB500F and my fightered VFR, I'll be doing the usual- suspension, flash, brake MC and big rotors.
Even the short ride home (about 45*C/113*F here today, so not feeling a long ride) told me it was a good choice.
It's cool you guys check back in from time to time. Did you ever think 5 years ago there would already be this level of nostalgia?
I wonder what happened to Beck. We both owned a 2014 FZ09 and a 2015 GTI MK7.
I haven't seen him here or on the VW Vortex forum in a few years.
Just copy and paste his name in the search box, click on his name from one of his posts and then send him a personal message. It will show up on his email inbox.
