Hey guys just thought I'd post something up here. I've been lurking the classifieds lately so here's a little introduction.
My name is Ethan Biggs. I'll be 21 in 4 days. I work as a mechanic at Hendrick BMW here in Charlotte. A friend of mine bought himself a new Nightster so I picked up his 05 FZ6 for $1,000. It's been dropped twice and has some damage to the tank and rear handles that need some attention. But it's my first bike, and it runs wonderfully! I plan on doing some maintenance - got a hard copy I the factory service manual from him with the bike. Just over 17k miles.
Here's a picture of my baby number 1:

That's a 1990 Nissan 300zx non turbo. I've basically rebuilt the car and I love it even if it is slow lol.
Here's the bike!

I bought the bike for a few reasons. I always wanted one. I love driving and it's 10x better on 2 wheels and in the wind. My brother and dad both have bikes and I've been on a few short rides with them now - so much fun. Lastly to be honest it's going to be used for some commuting also. I've already tasted the gas savings - 17mpg in the z was getting old!
Oh does anyone know what's going on with the front end of this bike? It's different and I haven't seen any other fz6s on here like that.
Anyways feel free to comment, bash on the rice burner, or the beat up Yamaha, I have thick skin lol
On a serious note, I'm glad I can be a part of the forum here, you guys seem to be very knowledgeable and friendly. Hopefully I will learn a lot and maybe contribute whenever I can!
