Metzeler ROADTEC Z6 - Mini-review

Metzeler MEZ6 Rear - close up: Fitted to a 1998 CBR1100XX.
Metzeler MEZ6 Rear - close up: Fitted to a 1998 CBR1100XX.
I've added several hundred miles to my new Metzeler ROADTEC MEZ6 tires (mounted on the '98 Honda CBR1100XX).

Yesterday I rode from home to the Amador County fair, via Volcano and Fiddletown. I had a chance to throw the bike around a bit, as there are some nice road sections on that route.

Viosport mounting kit arrived

Viosport mounting kit

The Viosport camera mounting kit has arrived (actually, it arrived last week, but I've been tied up with other things) - we'll check it out and include it in our forthcoming Viosport Adventure Cam 3 review.


Adaptive headlights?

I was searching the web for "motorcycle bank angle detection" because, for a few years now, I've been thinking it must be possible to have your headlights aim into a turn when you lean into sharp turn on twisty mountain roads.

Seems I'm behind the curve (ahem) yet again.

Another cage-related motorcycle fatality

Another cage driver kills a biker. This was a seriously messed-up situation.

The biker, Gregory Clyde Shannon, of Placerville, California, was minding his own business, when along comes a suspected drunk driver in a pickup truck, and hits him head-on. Hit him hard enough to knock the driver's side front wheel off the truck.

The truck driver leaves the scene, still driving the truck sans front wheel. Sparks flying.

Adding insult to injury, it appears that the truck driver continued on for 7 miles - starting numerous brush fires and totally destroying three homes in the process.
