New People from Texas!

Hello!

My wife and I ride together when we get the chance. She actually owns the FZ6, I have an R6. Anyone else in the Houston area?

Welcome Glad you all are here. I try to stay away from TX. I like the women but the ones that like me are crazy. LOL
I have been to Houston, and over in eastern TX as well. Sabine and that area. Um I decided last time that I would never go to Houston in August again. Its August, are you wishing you were somewhere cool? LOL

welcome aboard!!! how does the FZ6 do in comparison to the R6 in the real world?

I would also like to know. I work with a guy with a stock r6, and I'm quite sure that my modified fz6 will beat it.

the answer is important, because we have a race set for next friday.:Sport:

Welcome. Im in Dallas. But used to live in Houston. Always down there visiting family. Maybe we can meet up and ride sometime. :Sport:

Where in Houston, I am in Alvin just down the road

I lived in Houston for about three years many, many moons ago. I now live in Burleson, Texas which is just south of Fort Worth. I too am a new FZ6 owner (got mine last Monday) and I am new to this forum. I have 42 years of riding motorcycles under my belt and have seven family members who ride motorcycles. My 74 year old Dad still rides (he has 58 years of riding experience).:rockon: I have already gleaned a ton of "need to know" info from these forums, thank you!:Flash:

In stock form my wife's Z6 is anemic. Sure, it rides, feels, handles, and is more suited for the street - but as for acceleration, my R6 beats it hands down. She still has the stock gearing, and I've got -1 in the front. That may have something to do with it as well.

I enjoy riding the Z6, its a great bike and seems to be bulletproof.

That leads me to the next question, anyone ever replaced fork seals? Its gonna need some soon.

LOL all the gearing in the world couldnt get the fz6 to beat an R6 in the straights, but get an fz in some twisties and you might have a good competition.
