You all just need a snowmobile for the winter. Unfortionatly this year Buffalo NY this year dose not have enough snow for snowmobiling. We have had just enough to keep roads covered in sand and salt.
I like all the new power in features of the new Yamaha bikes.
However its sad to see the sleek half faring sport bikes era coming to the end.
Going off the current models I see the US getting a new 1000cc similar to FJ-09 and possible both an FZ and FJ models.
The MT-09 looks closer to adventure...
Wow I must be aggravated at work.
I need a brake so much I Googled this and found it.
Unfortunately it is an industrial park speed limit is 30.

Rain-X will destroy the coating on most shields.

I have not had a chance to ride hwy 16 however I was just true WV and VA area I will say that any ride crossing this state border should be a good ride.
Route 33 from Elkins, WV to Harrisonburg, VA was awesome. The best parts were just east of Judy Gap, WV and crossing WV-VA border.
I also...

Sorry I missed you the family took up all of my time when i was in town and work has been so busy I have not had a chance to post a trip wright-up
The weeding was on Saturday June 20 in Parkersburg. I didn't get down there until after 7pm Friday. The family was all staying at the same...
Just a little story from a ride yesterday and sorry I do not have pictures. This is the first time this has happened to me and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I got together with a group of guys I know from the corner Bar for a ride. Of course they all have custom...
First of all:welcome:
FZ6 is a great bike and just enogh like the FZ1 to make you happy
One thing I have to mention is how rev happy a 600 sport bikes is. Looking at you list of past bikes this is all I thought about an was surprise no one mentioned it. 600 are real dogs below 8K RPMs and...

I have been debating on possible taking a longer trip on the way home.
One route that has my eye is heading across WV on 33 and after entering VA heading north on Skyline Dr. in Shenandoah National Park.
Have you ever road down in that area?
I may also head up thru Philly to visit...
Chris
Thanks for the heads up
As there is a lot of family coming in down from Buffalo my Aunt reserved bunch of hotel room months ago
We got a grate volume discount however I do not remember what hotel we are staying at
Thanks Chris
Yes we will definitely have to get together for a ride while I am in town
219 119 was my first thought as I have family in Indiana PA
I have driven that rout many time in a car however this will be the first time on the bike
So decided to post to see if any one new of any must...
Feeling the Spring itch to get out and ride
No definite planes yet just a place to be around 350+ miles away
I live in Buffalo NY and there is a wedding in the family mid June in Parkersburg WV
I can not decide on rout or it I should head farther East or South after weeding
Thinking on...
Eric
Thanks for your input
Yes I have taken BRC and this situation wold have been a lot worse without the Knowledge from the Coarse
After I topped the hill there was a 200 yard straight away before I encountered the truck
I assumed he had saw me and that was a big mistake
I ride in areas...
Wow what a day last Sunday was
I also had a close call and have not had a chance to post
I was on the way to my Dads house to meet up for a ride
It was a 20 mile ride on country roads
About half way there after topping a steep hill was going about 75 MPH or so not looking at speed open...
Just my two cents here
I am no expert my FZ6 was my first bike and I have only hade it for 2 years and about 9K miles
However my dad has been a Harley rider for some time now
Don’t get me wrong I love my FZ it is the perfect bike for me.
As a few have already seed a 600 I4 can be a Jekyll...
Don’t do it the FZ6R is a step down in every category from your 05 FZ6:(
The FZ6R has more weight less power smaller tires and brakes
If I bought a new one if would have to be FZ8 or FZ1 they have more weight than the FZ6 however have increases in everything else to make up for it:D
My FZ6 is my first bike and I may have her forever:thumbup:
These bikes are the perfect balance of performance comfort and price it is a shame Yamaha stopped making them
FZ6R is too heavy for the power of the 600 and the FZ1 gas tank range is a down side for long trips
When I have the money...
I crashed on my snowmobile 2 years back wearing a top of the line HJC full face helmet
When I stud up with no more than a few buses I had no face shield
I will never trust a modular for the reason if the hole front of the helmet ripped off like the shield I would have busted my jaw
That being...
