I began looking at getting a motorcycle and started doing research on bikes. I settled on the FZ6. I took the MSF course. But with what's going on in the economy (IMHO we are heading into what will be called 'The Greater Depression' but that discussion is for a different forum) I just didn't...

Thanks for the advice. Your right. The Yamaha dealer is in a town I'm not that familiar with and driving back I was paying attention to the changes in the road, pot holes and stuff. I know a few guys from church who have a trailer who I could probably get to pick it up with me.
