Welcome Bob! Assuming your last name is in fact Randall, are you related to any New England Randall's? I am also a Randall.

We'll be coming to TN next year to spend a week in Ooltewah with a friend who will take us out on tour on the bikes and over to the Dragon for a mid-week run! Can't wait!

My Grandmother Randall had a geneology made but she didn't like what she got and no one else ever got a chance to read it, so I don't know where our branch of the Randall's started. My grandparents lived in Michigan and there were lots of Randallsn not so as I moved futher south.

Hello everyone!
New member here, I have been reading the forums for about a month now and decided to join. .........
Looking forward to making new friends here and reading more interesting subjects in this awesome forum. I will post pictures of my bike soon, and of course start modding it to. Till next time....:Sport:

Congratulations on your new bike, glad you found us, have fun:thumbup:

Hello,

My name is Sherman and I am actually doing research and looking into purchasing an FZ6 (2008). I face many challenges in doing so however. Impeding my progress are things such as what my family thinks (a big one) in conjunction with a VERY near Spring sale closing deadline date (tomorrow - yikes).
................
Despite all this, I still have my family to answer to. Being the only son, I can understand their concerns. Of course, I could always go screw-em, and just do my thing, but then I'll be living with a stigma. So in regards to this, I am also wondering how others here have overcome that obstacle.

...now back to reading the forums
~Sherman

Welcome to the forum Sherman. I had to convince my wife that I needed a new bike, and I convinced her that ABS (standard on the 07 over here) was much safer . Personally I find the FZ6 a great allround bike, but if you are totally new I would suggest keeping the revs down until you get a bit more used to it.
what ever you choose, ride safely and enjoy :thumbup:

Greetings All,

My name is Kyle from Overland Park, KS. I currently ride a candy red 07 fz6 and love it. 20yr old college kid just enjoying life. I've ridden several dirtbikes growing up but this is my first motorcycle!

Welcome to the forum kyle, Nice choice of bike (and colour :thumbup, enjoy your first motorcycle :Sport: .

Hi, I live in Dandridge TN. I have a 2006 FZ6 and it is red ....... Bought my bike because it handles so well and I figure it will let me keep riding longer than many others I've had. I love it, it's great.
.....they keep you alive, like motorcycles and friends who ride them.
Bob
PS - the avatar is one of my drawings.

Congratulations on your new red FZ6 Randall, definately the faster colour
Glad you found us, enjoy your ride :thumbup:

Hi my names Jesse and I live in Carlisle, PA. I've always loved car but never had much intrest in motorcycles, as far as riding anyway. That was until about 2 years ago when my parents started riding. I just started riding a few months ago on a Honda rebel 250. I dont have an FZ6 yet but plan to buy one ASAP after i get my license in mid June. I joined the site to get an idea of what to expect and it worked. I got some exelent advice.

Hi Everyone,

Okay. I have been lurking around this site for the past month, so it is probally time to introduce myself. My name is Joe and I am an Engineer in Keene, NH. I recently purchased a used 2006 FZ6 (the faster blue version) after an 18 year absence from riding. I am sure that the fact that I am turning 40 here shortly had nothing to do with it.

This is a great site. I have used it to find grip buddies, learn to change my oil, do a headlight mod, adjust my chain and set my rear shock. I am betting that if I look hard I can find out why my seat vibrates at 5500 rpm. (not in a "good" way)

Looking forward to exploring the site in greater depth.

Joe
