Ok, a couple of weekends ago, i was out riding my highly modified, very much visually individual FZ6 fighter, when i stopped at a Supermarket to get some gaspers!
Anyway, i park the bike, go get the cancer sticks, and return to my bike, to find a lad who looked to be in his early twenties, standing next to my bike, having a bit of a goosey gander!
I was in a damn fine mood, as i had just been riding up my favourite stretch of twisty stuff, so i said G'day...
Anyway, the young lad says "Hi, i have a bike exactly the same as this at home", at which point i became rather interested in his assertion, knowing that my bike is definitely a "one off", totally custom fighter...
Being a bit chirpy, i decided to go along with the young lad...my reply "Really, exactly the same? To which i get back "Yep, it's even the same colour!"
Amazed at his emphatic response, i continue the conversation " What, exactly the same seat, tail light, and exhaust pipes???"
Response from young whipper snapper "Yep!!!"
Still amazed, i decided that i couldnt be bothered letting him know that he was full of $hit!, and instead replied "That's awesome, they are a great bike"
At which point he dissapeared into a car, and i put my helmet & gloves on, and rode off....laughing a lot to myself...
If there is another FZ6 out there that is identical to mine, i would love to see it, but the odd's are pretty slim! considering it is a home built special!
Gotta love a young fella with an active imagination, and a willingness to impress.
Sorry, i found it highly amusing, and thought that i should share...
