    Where do you park your bike

    I always park i an assigned space but try to make the bike as visible as possible to people wanting to park. The only exception is the Publix near work where it is sort of accepted that bikes have their own parking space near the entrance.

    Clothed or Naked - whats your choice?

    I used to only like fully faired bikes but since I have had the FZ6 my opinions have completely changed, I love the way the bike looks.

    R U Lonely?

    Love the one who can't get her cell mate to take a trip on the "pink side".

    Turn light

    From the service manual (links are in this forum) it looks as though they are held in place through the lower part of the front fairing, I had the same problem a few years ago on a bandit and its a pretty simple job. We are of course assuming you are talking about the front indicator lights.

    Brake light/rear light mod?

    Perfect :thumbup:, thanks for the info, that is pretty well along the lines that I was thinking and now I have a clear idea of what to do.

    Brake light/rear light mod?

    Has anyone considered adding some more light to the tail of the FZ6. I was riding back from Miami in a downpour yesterday evening and was extremely concerned about my visibility (how visible I was) particularly when braking (especially when there was a huge truck behind me). Saw a couple...

    Full Faced Helmet

    No he wasn't, and yes I did point out that the Muppet show are looking for new members.

    Full Faced Helmet

    I have a scorpion helmet and it has great ventilation, anti-fog visor and does not have the closed in feel of a lot of helmets, so down for me. Also, my lad dropped his scooter last year as he got a bug in the eye when riding with his visor up.

    Slow, tight U-turns...

    I took my test in the UK, a friend who took his the same day got himself so worked up about the U Turn that he put his foot down and failed, personally I didn't fnd a problem with it but then I refused to get stressed about doing it. I pretty well do what most on here say, 1st gear, play the...

    Do you wave to other riders??

    Unfortunately for the rest of this week I have to be on a boat at the Miami Boatshow, so my plan will have to wait until next week. I will try and keep a rough note of the percentage of responses.

    Engine / Gear box makes more noise in neutral

    Add mine to the list, and my Bandit when I was in the UK. I think it is because there is no tension on the little bits of magic inside that make the bike move when I want it to, probably all having a chat to each other as there is nothing else to do.

    Do you wave to other riders??

    When I first moved here from the UK I was surprised at how little recognition of other bikes there is here, particularly sportsbikes. Sure, the Harley riders have their cool wave but it is pretty rare for them to respect a sportsbike, and there seems to be very little acknowledgement between...

    Is my brake light loose?

    I noticed that when I first got mine, I sort of assumed it was to reduce vibration. Glad to know that everyones is the same.

    The click

    The best way I found to get a smoother change, particularly with someone on the back is to start applying pressure to the gear change lever, enough so that when I pull the clutch in a bit it changes but not quite enough to change without the clutch.

    Winter Poll

    Winter is the best time to ride here, it's 85 degrees at the moment and hardly a cloud in the sky. Summer is not good when the rainstorms show up. Having said that, I did ride all year round in the UK as well.

    How Far You Can Go On A Low Fuel Light

    37.4 miles, I too made a wrong decision, pushed the bike in the same direction I was travelling (over a bridge as well) and then a further mile to the nearest gas station. On the way home that evening I was extremely happy to see that if I had crossed to the other side of the road and headed...

    Motorcycle Cop

    So, the next dilemma is... When you see someone beside the road pointing a hunting rifle type thing at you, do you slow down becuase it is a cop, or do you speed up so the mad and deranged psycho with a hunting rifle can't shoot you..
