    It depends how drunk I am. :D I really don't drink and ride. Traffic, I stop. In the country, great line of site, little traffic, no.

    14000 miles on the clock

If I don't ride it every day, it's because i get too lazy to put the warm stuff or rain gear on!:) Oh yeah, I just replaced my chain and sprockets. Rides...

    OK. Now it's time to catch Hell! Bored?! With an FZ6?!:mad: Mine scares me at least once every day!! OK, thats enough. I agree with the other guys. With some of the bigger bikes you still have an advantage in the turns. But I don't think that's a problem on an R1 or FZ1. The are known for...
