I just landed a new 2006 FZ6 from Xtreme Powersports in Tampa, Florida. Well, not a new-new bike, but one of those new-to-me deals. It’s a well taken care of sled with 15K on the odo. Plus, it’s got a nice set of Givi cases and the rack for a top case. Maybe it belonged to a member of your forum. Here it is:
As you can see, I’m not exactly hovering about in my youth. Nope, 52 actually and have been riding for the last 40. However, I have a 17yo son who keeps me on my toes. Sam has had his endorsement since last summer and he’ll be on the FZ6 when we hit the road on our trips. I’ll be on my 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere that got delivered last July. Then I think I’ll use the FZ6 for commuting (I ride to work every day…you can do that in Florida) and for some of the other local gatherings we have around the Tampa area. Here’s a photo of my Tenere on Lake Okeechobee. That’s the big man-made lake down in South Florida.
We also have a 2009 Kawasaki KL250 Super Sherpa that Sam and I share. Fun little thumper, I just took it on a three-day, 750 mile boondoggle around the Everglades during the Holiday break. My rear still hurts.
Sam and I also restore old dirt bikes (mx, duallies and trials) for fun. We started when he was just a little guy. I wanted to get back into motocross which I did as a kid in Upstate New York. Joined AHRMA, got my number and all that jazz, and then restored a 72 Yamaha DT2MX for competition. Well, restoring was so much fun, I said heck with the racing and we went on to restore dozens of old barn finds. It’s a lot of fun. Here’s a photo of the old DT2-MX. You don’t see many of these. I sold it to a museum.
Anyway, looks like you’ve got a neat forum going here, so I thought I’d join and see what I can lean from ya’ll about the FZ6.
Oh, btw…I actually go by Bill, but someone already had that name when I went to register.
