Yeah, some guy laughed at me once for gearing up. So I slammed my helmet into his face. Now if he'd been wearing a helmet both of us would have to buy new ones. Instead I paid 200 for my helmet, but no matter what his nose never looked the same :spank:
I'm used to shifting in my car at most at 6500. When i first got my fz6 i was scared to go over 6k not cause about how fast i was going, but the noise was so much more than i was used to compared to my car. I thought i was going to burn up the engine. you really just have to get used to it...
