I have the Oxford's as well - have four heat settings, work pretty well. The "automatic cutoff" does NOT work :-P

I used to always forget that I had a sixth gear (driving 5 speed manuals all my life) so I got in the habit on the highway of going "Oh yeah..." and clicking it up into sixth. So now I keep forgetting that I learned I have six gears and trying to click it up into sixth when I'm already there...

FZ6 set up for a 1,200 mile weekend camping trip from PA to Mount Washington, NH. Unfortunately, I had torn my backpacking tent (it was ancient) so I was packing along the giant Coleman 4-man tent... This guy we met on Mt Washington knew how to pack a tank bag!

I'm through Progressive (and am USAA member), 26, married no kids, rent my place and I'm paying $18/month for full coverage. Had an incident a few years back when I lived outside Philly - someone knocked over my bike in the middle of the night and of course didn't stick around (probably tried...
