Geez sorry! Didn't know, it is hard to imagine what difference it makes. Just getting the word out on a sale to a community that is interested in these bikes. What could it possibly hurt? Edit: And sorry, Joe. I don't mean to come off as pissy about it, just had me scratching my head. I...

Hey All, No knock on the FZ6, just need to move and wont be taking it with me. :( :thumbup:

There we go, good things do happen! :thumbup:

'92 Katana. I was in the Marines living in Yuma Arizona. I would drive from Yuma to San Diego just about every weekend to be with my girlfriend. About a 100 miles into that trip you leave the Sedona desert and ride up into the Laguna Mountains. Weather conditions and temperatures...

Sounds like somebody doesn't like his bike. It's cool, not everybody is going to like it. Time to start shopping.

I use a Madstad screen. The 18" one will do. They are a little pricy, but it simply is a great screen. My ride is smooth at 90 mph. Home - Madstad Engineering

I'm 6'7 and started on 600s when I was 19. I had ridden dirt bikes as a kid but this was my first real motorcycle, it was a '93 katana. My second bike was the FZ6. I've liked both bikes a lot, and fit on both just fine. It's totally worth a motorcycle safety course, there is a lot to learn...

In my opinion, we should always be worried when riding a motorcycle. the lube will wear off, and it seems you did the right thing to wipe the tire with soapy water. Fling happens too, just as you start to ride. It's good to wipe the chain right after you lube it too. Something I just...

I use a black cargo net on my rear seat. I can fit a large "3 day" hiking pack under there or more often a smaller day pack. I'm really careful that all of the straps on my packs are secure too, wouldn't want something working its way into the chain. Here is a link to reviews on some...

Awesome bike, and great story! :thumbup:

If I am going to ride like that though, I am happy to have something flapping around in the wind. It helps drivers to see you. I don't really drive like that though, not on a busy highway anyway. ...and I have head to toe gear on.

Epic! You Sir are my hero! I'd love to ask you a billion questions about your experience, your gear, your tips, but I will just leave it at a simple thank you for living life. You're an inspiration to us all. :rockon:

Looks great! So what is plasti dip, is it a spray on? How is it better then spray paint? Just trying to figure out if I need to learn how to use it. Thanks!

Wow, that's a pretty broad brush you got there! :) Outside of the sound they make, some guys do actually win races with them, OTiTPAusog4 :BLAA:

I'd go Ducati Multistrada.
