    Goodbye, farewell and amen.

    Hello everyone, It's been awhile since I visited this site. 2009 hasn't been a very good year for me. I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, received a layoff notice recently and had my 2006 FZ6 Yammie repossessed today. Fun, fun, fun. I only had it a year and never in my wildest dreams thought...

    Gotta say bye to my FZ6

    I'm a truck driver for the San Diego Union Tribune. San Diego's only major newspaper. Me and my fellow truck drivers deliver thousands of newspapers in bulk to the various distribution centers in the San Diego metropolitan area where carriers handle it from there. It's a living. :)

    Work. How is it where you're at?

    Don't know where this thread should go but how's it going where you work? Where I work there's layoffs, paycuts and decreasing production. My health benefits now cost me 4 times as much as a month ago. How many of you have been laid off? Had a paycut? Or anything else? Hopefully...

    Turn signal loose?

    Thanks, notjohndavid. I still haven't gotten around to fixing it but I will soon. I figured it was something small and easy to fix. I appreciate the response and pic.

    Gotta say bye to my FZ6

    The economy really got to me last year and I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on the last day of 2008. I decided to surrender my red 2006 FZ6 to the creditor since I owed more than it was worth. Not an easy decision. I borrowed money from my brother and bought a good used car that gets good gas...

    Turn signal loose?

    I've got a 2006 FZ6 and the right side front turn signal is dangling. I know I didn't hit anything but think maybe someone parked too close and maybe hit it. Looking at it I can't figure out what holds it in. The opposite one on the left side is held in tightly but how? Does it just snap in...

    "Motocross Mom" is a prostitute?

    Most of us are lucky. Look at the FZ16

    They sell them in India and they are only 153cc. Kinda cool looking but not near as fun as our bikes. http://www.vicky.in/straightfrmtheheart/tag/fz16/ http://fz16-forum.com

    Rear axle nut size?

    Thanks. I didn't even think about my toolkit. I'll try that. :thumbup:

    Rear axle nut size?

    I don't have the paper manual but do have the .pdf manual and need to know what size the nut is but can't seem to find it. I found something that said 24mm but that's not it. I need to adjust my chain but don't have the correct size wrench and need to borrow one from a friend. I'm going to...

    New 2009 Suzuki Gladius and she's naked.

    Suzuki introduced a new entry level naked 650 called the Gladius (priced at $6499). Looks kind of feminine, don't you think? Wonder how it will compare to the FZ6?

    Anyone tried ConvertiBars?

    Anyone tried ConvertiBars?

    I just looked this up: convertibars.com I SWEAR I thought of this a couple years ago without knowing anything about ConvertiBars and wanted to call it AdjustaBars. I distinctly remember talking to a biker friend of mine about the idea and he's a helicopter mechanic and said he thought it...
