getting the wheelie gesture... I was at an opposing stop light from a group of full dress harleys and one guy started making a nuisance yelling and making the "Wheelie gesture", so i told him that i would as soon as he did and rode off...
I also hate when people compare the FZ6 and the FZ6R, it just drives me nuts...
I did the naked conversion using the Buell headlight and today a guy at work told me I had a headlight out!!! (I used to get that every once in a while when I still had the fairing, just like everyone else). But to STILL be getting it, even after converting, is just crazy. Of course, I've got the Buell headlight set up like the stock headlights, so I guess it's expected.
I did get a funny comment, as well as a new nickname for my bike last week on a group ride. It was the first time one of the women that rides with us had seen my bike since the naked conversion and she said "it looks like that muppet character...you know, the one in the lab???"
Yep...Beaker. LMAO! So, I guess from that day forward, my bike is officially known as Beaker.
What do you think? Do you see the resemblance? I didn't before she said that, but now I totally see it. :rockon:

I think i might of posted this story in another thread, but just recently, a guy pulled up next to me at the traffic lights, on a Harley, and said to me, "Why dont you get a real bike instead of a rice burner?", my instant response was something along the lines of, "The Queen Mary 2 is leaving town today, and they want their boat anchor back!" his facial expression turns to rage, the lights go green, and i leave him "Standing" at the lights, as my front wheel skims the road surface on take off!
But the most common comment i get is usually after a long blank stare, "What is it?", When i tell em it's an FZ6, the blank stare returns! Aint many FZ6's around in Australia i suppose!
:thumbup:
I like the: "Is that your bike"???
