Cool. Let's PM closer to the date. Great to ride the bikes but every ride something bizarre happened, which made the days even more interesting.

I wish they'd update the website with time for the mid week action but no luck. My thought would be to do a 1/2 day at work and not wait in line on the weekend, thus picking the better weather day. However, a ride north is not out of the question.

Thoughts? Still no hours listed....

Ya it was worth it! I don't recall ever Grinning tell my Face Broke until today! Hint --> redline the V-Max! What a Brute!!! Everyone should ride that thing at least once! It s big pig better and you feel like you're mounting a horse as your knees at out like ya just done 7-seconds on Rodeo Bronco but OH MY GOD, talk about pulling power!!! And above 30 mph or so it actually handles well! It turns in good, but a bit heavy to be "flickable" Still worth the ride...


I was looking for Chris's thread!

We all went today! I rode the fz6r, my brother rode the bolt, and our friend rode the r6. Last ride of the day. Oh god so worth it. Kinda wish I would have rode the 09 but I had a blast. My brother not so much. He was dragging peg through the turns. Hes not used to the cruiser stance, hes got a Honda 919 so he wanted to try something new. Didnt like it. Me on the other hand. Loved it. Now I want a new bike. I want fuel injection!! Damn you carbs!!!

Good deal. You made it. Hopefully you got to take the Corbett route instead of the tame one last year.

Did you try the FZ-09? Not many will see this thread if you could post in the other one here that'd be great:

Awesome. I bought my FZ6 after test riding an FZ6R. The FZ6R is a good bike and much easier to ride.
