Assuming I'm still in the rally at that point, I will arrive in Jacksonville on the afternoon of June 27th. I'll be beyond fried mentally at that point. Unfortunately, this stop isn't an over-nighter, although I will be planning to get some sleep as soon as I can get scored and eat something...
Yup. The checkpoints are all set and I'm finally allowed to talk about them.
I'll be in Buffalo on the evening of June 24th. The checkpoint opens at 5pm and I have to be there by 8pm or start getting penalty points. If I don't arrive by 10pm I'm disqualified from the rally. I plan to arrive...
Hi all,
I haven't been on here in a while, but I wanted to drop by with an update.
I traded my '07 FZ6 in last summer on a new BMW R1200RT. While I love the RT for touring (especially loaded down), I really miss my FZ6. The scream and rocket-like power it made at 10K is unforgettable. It...
After checking the shift linkage, check the oil level. If the oil is even a little above the "full" line on the dipstick (and I mean a little), it can cause the clutch to drag so that it won't downshift properly. Drain out a little oil (or siphon it with a host through the dipstick hole if you...
Looks like everything but the topcase is sold (and I have a buyer for that if no one jumps in within the next few days).
There is still one windshield available (see my other For Sale thread for details).
Looks like the engine guards/topcase are up for grabs folks.
I'll PM you about the topcase (I'm leaving town late next week for about 10 days, so if no one grabs it by then I will sell it to you).

***ALL OF THE ITEMS BELOW ARE SOLD*** (I still have a CeeBailey touring windshield for sale - see my other FOR SALE thread).
I recently sold my 2007 FZ6, so it's time to sell off the farkles.....
PM me if interested. All items must be paid for in advance via Paypal before items are shipped...
Ok. You have "dibs" on the guards/footpegs first - if you get back to me within 24h of when they go up for sale (and assuming you want them and we can agree on the price, of course).
I will be posting all items for sale tonight (in the appropriate section and with pics/full descriptions)...
I've always done all of my own maintenance. I'm going to let the dealer do the first few (600 mile service is about $150-200; 6000 and 12000 mile ones are similar). As I buy the tools for it I'll take over. There aren't many dealers around and I'm between two that are both about 100 miles away...
I love these threads....
A couple I've owned:
Honda Shadow 750 ACE (my first bike) - good entry-level cruiser. Slow, reliable, sounds good with aftermarket pipes, but absolutely terrible performance over 50mph (I thought it was fine until I rode other bikes and then I was horrified with the...
Chicago traffic is crazy, but the FZ6 is the PERFECT bike for that type of riding. There are lots of places to go outside the city too.
I think you should keep it. You'll need to find a place to store it for 4-5 months, but other than that it's easy.
+1 on the winter. You cannot prepare...
