UK member .... hello all
Hello everyone out there ...
Just thought I'd say Hello and thanks for an excellent forum ..
I'm a 37 year old search and rescue winchman from Doncaster in the UK .. Happily married to Adrienne with one daughter Hollie (8)
I'm very very new to the world of biking ! passed my test last Friday 13th !! what a day to take my test !! but hey ho ... I PASSED !!! YIPPEE .... :rockon:
Just ordered myself an 07 plate FZ6 S2... The fastest blue one
Not even test driven one so please tell me I have made the right purchase ! , I thouroughly did my research and lots and lots of people told me that this is the bike for me. I hope so I collect it on Thursday.
Did my direct access course on a CBR 500 which was a great bike but looked a little dated, It still made me smile though throughout every minute on it. Can't believe I've waited 37 years to get into this.
Anyhow thats about enough from me .. you must be all dropping off to sleep reading it !! I would appreciate any top tips and advice from you experienced bike veterens !
Bye for now JC

New FZ6 in Los Angeles!
So, I bought my FZ6 on Friday (7/20) and drove it home on Saturday (7/21) then took my first 100+ mile mini-tour on Sunday (7/22).
Hey all! I'm Julian, 36 y/o Chem Engineer in Los Angeles. CSUN and Penn State Grad. MSF course graduate and this is my first bike. I'm really loving the riding experience, and learning a lot from this forum and friends who ride.
Drevenflow? I play COH and my main 'toon is Doctor Evenflow. I got the red bike, but the personalized plates "RED-K" were taken! So I had to go with my alternate "HEAT VZN".
First I took the course and bought gloves. Then I bought the armor mesh jacket and helmet. Then I got the bike I had to do my research and find what fit me best...what was most comfortable etc. Now I own a Red 2006 FZ6.
Now, I just have to find that seat the gentleman from Spain has on his '05!
Hit me up anytime! www.myspace.com/drevenflow

You're plate wouldn't happen to be a reference to this would it?

I'm 22 and from Tampa, FL and trying to get into USF ( 14 days untill classes start and my aplication is still "pending"). Have studied Electrical Engineeing at Devry for 1.5 years, and plan to finish my degree at USF.
Currently working at AT&T as a Technical Support Engineer (Glorified Helpdesk) in the Goverment MIS Division.
Bought my FZ6 on Monday 7/23, but it was raining hard and they wouldnt let me have it *crys*. So I'm gona pick it up after work on Tuesday.
I've been on bikes in one form or another for 10 years, though don't take that to mean I'm 'experienced'.
Oh yea, and mine is the only true color...... Blue.
It was the last blue one they had and $800 cheaper *shugs*.

I have neither seen nor heard of 'Heat Vision and Jack' but I had to stop the video after the show intro because...well, it reached a level of jackassery that is incompatible with viewing at work. I know I'll love it, but I'll watch at home and enjoy accordingly. Thanks for this!

I wouldn't call it NSFW but it is most definitely chock full of hillarity. It's without a doubt one of my most favorite "shows that never were"....if only the world were more acceptable of talking motorcycles and solar powered geniuses (genusi?)
Wow! Now that was some quality entertainment.
I don't know how they managed to secure the teacher "Mr. Farcas?" from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
It's not as addictive as the Crazy Frog movie that Steve posted, but "Me Likes"
Oh, by the way Steve, that freakin' Axel F frog bing-bing song has invaded my mind ever since you posted that. Isn't it weird how something like that can be almost addictive?
:banghead:

My name is Bill, I'm from Landing, NJ. I picked up my Blue '06 FZ6...did I mention on Friday the 13th. The irony, I crashed my car on the 12th.
My first bike was a Suzuki '92 ES500E, my second...a '01 Honda CBR 600 F4i (Black/Silver). Third times a charm. From what I've read the top end is the same my last bike, however I do not plan on testing that out anytime soon.
I almost got the r6, but believe it or not, i like the naked truth of the bike.

Hi I'm Peter, I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I have never owned a Yamaha until my FZ6 came into my life it is quick, comfy and looks good especially with the ugly rear fender and plate removed.
Whats' with all this red VS blue color chat going on. I have an 2004 silver and black FZ. oh.. did I mention I have R6 cams in it. I'm guessing it's faster than blue or red.. mah-wa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

Introduction
Hi.....I'm James....as if the handle didnt give it away.
I am on my second FZ. The first one i got last sept. and i loved it. But after 6 months and 10,000 miles it got totalled in a wreck. A buddy of mine did a 60MPH wheelie onto my backseat. After the insurance paid off I went out that same week and bought a new 07' (RED!!!!!). The first one i had was blue and i had scorpion exhaust on it, i did some sproket changing and put a power commander on it. I still have all my various sprokets from the old one. That means i can save a couple hundred bucks.:thumbup: I havent had the bike but a few months and with all the rain i havent been able to ride much. I have almost 3,000 miles on it now.
Ohh yeah, I live in Santa Fe, TX, which is in the middle of nowhere. I am about 30 minutes from Galveston Island and about 45 minutes from Houston. Not too bad a drive to get to somewhere fun. If anyone happens to come down this way there are plenty of motorcycle clubs around here and new people to meet.
Not much to me. I work 60 hours a week just so i can afford to ride. The new car, house, motorcycle, all eats up funds quick..Have fun and be safe everyone!:Sport:
