Glad to see that you are ok!!! Good thing you were wearing all of your gear, it just goes to show how important it is!!

What is the best right up out there for changing the brake fluid and fork oil? :confused:

I strap mine to the brackets right under the exhaust, and haven't had any problem. It is a very strong point to strap to.

Next Challenge: Your Bike with a welcome to sign. Preferably to a state or a country.

I wish we had a course like that in the U.S.!! The only one that I know of is ride like a pro. Does anybody else have any experience with anything like this in the U.S.?

I actually stripped the threads out on my oil pan. I used an "oversized," thread cutting oil drain plug from Napa, but I think next time I change my oil, I'm going to put one of those oil drain valves, so I don't have to worry about stripping anything out again. Does anybody have any...

I had also planned on taking the MSF course before I got my first bike, but I just started looking for a bike before I even signed up for the class. Long story short, I ended up buying an '05 FZ6, before I took the course. My girlfriend was completely fine with me getting a bike, since her...

That is the same way that I feel, and I think that if I show her that I care that much about it, she will not argue any more.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I have been thinking of doing. Oh, and I am not frightened at all to show her bad pictures, that is exactly what I want!!!

So I talked to my girlfriend last night about riding with me on my FZ6, and mentioned that we would need to get her gear. She pretty much said that she was not going to wear gear. I need help to come up with some material to be able to talk her into it, and explain why it is important. I...

So, if you have different tires than what came on it stock, should you run the recommended psi that is on the bike, or should you run the psi that is on the tires?

I am 5' 5" about 129 lbs, and I don't really ever have a problem getting mine on the center stand. I just simply put my foot on the lever for the stand, make sure both feet of the stand are touching the ground, grab ahold of the passenger grab rail (and I think the handlebars), put all my...

Looks good, you will have to let us know how you like it! :thumbup:
