That's what I needed to hear. Looks like I'll be keeping her covered for a couple of weeks. Thank you for your input.

Thanks for the tips guys, it's a massive help! I never knew that about tires/rubber. I ended up riding another 75 or so miles last night just to cruise around and then raced the lightning back home. Crashed out cold when I got back so sorry for the lack of reply. Now it's raining...

:rockon:Off to let the road test 'em for me.

You're getting flashed, at least. You can even see her lungs. Never had a woman do that for me! Any input on the tires?

Today I changed the oil+filter, did a coolant flush/replacement, and changed the air filter. The oil was blacker than Satan's arse hole and smelled extra burnt. Coolant was low and the reservoir was borderline dry. No leaks though. Put in premium (93 octane) instead of the regular(87) gasoline...

I didn't used to understand why motorcyclists zip around and pass everyone, but I feel FAR safer even as an inexperienced...

I was just wondering whether google maps was the only way to find good practice roads. Thanks a ton for the link and info!

Thank you for the advice and the warm welcome guys! Yeah, I'm most definitely planning on taking it to a large abandoned shopping mall we have nearby and getting more used to it. Driving the bike home at freeway speeds, I did find myself nervous about swerving at high speeds to avoid oil...

As you may be able to tell from my avatar (better photo HERE), I am a pretty thin guy. That said, I have a bony ass and after riding for 3 hours straight yesterday, I started to get quite uncomfortable and fidgety about halfway through. Anyone have recommendations for a good seat?

Hello everyone! Completed my MSF course about a week ago and for my 25th Birthday yesterday I bought my first bike. It's an 05 FZ-6, 20.8k miles. Lots of people have their dream car, but since I was 15 I always admired the R6's style and performance. I had an excellent instructor during...
