1- agreed insurance rates depend on MANY many factors - age, state, accidents, bike size, type, crap load of other stuff - but it's still good to hear what others are paying, just to get a "wild" idea of what else is out there 2- yes, shopping around is always a good idea, i do that for my...

So, some of you may remember my previous post about my accident, and my current shopping for a new bike, super sport, and so I went and got some quotes for some bikes; Holy Carp! Unbelievable, can't believe the jump! I'm reconsidering the idea of getting a super sport, and maybe just stick...

Hey guys - really great input, and I'm going to be reviewing some of the models listed.. maybe go and try a few. Thanks, and I'll keep you posted on what direction i go! Right now, changing jobs, so bike search may be put off for a month!

Hey guys; So, I posted a few days ago about my crash - and Insurance co. came back with more money if I just handed it to them (retarded, but that's the way it came out), so I did. No I've got money to buy a new 2-wheeler. Sad to say, but I think my Fazer days are over.., I'm feeling the...

Well, got the estimate; parts $2200 labor $900 and I'm claiming $1000 worth of gear - leather jacket pants, boots, helmet are all shot. I can probably salvage the jacket and pants, and live with the tear, keep it as a backup. But yeah - more damage than I thought. No structural or engine damage...

Ya, I've got a 4 yr old, and this was a serious reminder to not be so stupid! I was thinking of trading in the FZ6 for a 1000cc, think I may just hand on to this - and do some more mindful driving for a while. Scary as ****! Good advice on the insurance, I'm gonna at least go get a quote, see...

Absolutely stupid move, hit a ramp at 70. In Austin, on 183, taking Mo-Pac south -too fast, and only have stupidity and absent-mindedness to blame. I hit the curb - the part that's 100 feet off the ground, I am so lucky, it could have been so much worse, I rolled off the bike. Thank God...

Installed frame sliders absolutely no issues - took less than 10 minutes. And tightened them by hand, felt how tight the original bolts were, and then approximated the tightness - no big deal. Bought the sliders from eBay, for $20: Frame Slider Fit For Yamaha FZ6/600 2004-2008 Carbon - eBay...

Aargh! no pics - anyone have pics for putting in the cigarette lighter? Am planning on doing this - next weekend. Thx

Sorry - been missing in action, crazy deadline for a project launch working on. Glad to see some ppl around the area. Hellgate, and others, I'd love to go for a ride, on a weekend that works for everyone. Hit me up! Btw - I heard a biker died this last weekend on one of the local riding...

Like seriously!? What's the deal? I'm hoping to do some riding, and went out with a group from MeetUp.com - the nicest riders, but all cruisers, I was sticking out, like Sesame street - one of us didn't belong! ping me, if you are part of a group in Austin, would love to group ride, get...

Is Austin Alive? Where are you?? Hi; Just moved to Austin in January - and looking through posts, I'm not sure how active Austin list is, so reaching out to see if there's a group of FZ6 Austinites that meet regularly (or not regularly)? I'm a new rider, looking to meet with other FZ6 to...

just moved to Austin - looking to hook up with other FZ6'ers! Anyone else here from Austin, I need to do some small stuff on the bike, and would love to get together with others who actually know what they're doing! ;)
