    Took her for my first ride!

    Re: Re: Took her for my first ride! That's good advice, man. I had preexisting problems in my left wrist before ever riding. Concentrating on my posture and knees/waist helps alleviate pressure on it. You really should try to keep your arms a little bit relaxed anyway. :thumbup: ----------

    What's your Favorite Pop song's?

    What's the down side for you after losing weight?

    Re: Re: What's the down side for you after losing weight? Dude it's like a poncho! Haha. And I'd rather do small weights over running any day. These old knees are hurting from my soccer days when I was younger. Maybe I'll find an elliptical... :p

    Hi From Maryville!

    :welcome: I love Tennessee! I may very well be touring through there in a couple of months, albeit in a van. I think you'll find this forum to be a very nice and welcoming place! Enjoy your new FZ6, and ride safe!

    What's the down side for you after losing weight?

    Ah, man. I probably lost about 20 pounds or so in the last year or so. "Relationship weight" I called it (half joking). At first I was super stoked I could squeeze into my leather motorcycle jacket again, and then too much wind started getting into it while riding the bike because I lost...

    Problems with shifting to first from dead stop

    You could always pull the clutch and put it into first as you come to a stop in traffic, either engine breaking a bit in 1st (easing it), or leaving it idling as you come to a stop. This works for me. :thumbup: Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Do you ride the shoulder in traffic jams?

    Me neither. Ironically, my handle here is "rumblestrip". I wouldn't want to hit that on the bike...in a van full of sleeping musicians...yes, please. :D :spank: That $@&# is hilarious. Their heads all pop up in the rearview mirror like prairie dogs (or what have you).

    Do you ride the shoulder in traffic jams?

    I think I have done this at a red light in town to go a few cars up and make a right turn...only if there is plenty of room, but usually I'll just wait and leave it open for bicyclists. It could be illegal here in VA (not sure), but I'm not sure the cops in town would ticket you if you do it...

    What bikes do you and your family own? With pics

    In my entire, big family, nobody rides except me. Even at the age of 34, my parents don't know yet...mom was an ICU nurse at a major VA hospital for years. She doesn't like bikes, but we'll see. I've "only" got the '06 FZ6. Sold the '73 CB750 for something more modern & reliable and sent it...

    So I visited some other forums and wow....

    Yeah, this is pretty much the only forum I visit daily. The SOHC4 place was good, but I feel even more welcome here (and I don't have a Honda CB anymore). Thanks, all. This is a fantastic place that I chanced upon after I found and brought home my FZ6. :thumbup: One day I will get off my...

    Yeah, dude. I get plenty of compliments on my $3500 bike, and she rides great. I'm super happy with it. :D

    Road rage? Want to smash other bikers with a baseball bat? Race to the death??

    I know some Texas Instruments machines had cartridge drives and an option for a tape drive.

    Zombie beginner bike returns to haunt me

    Whoa, I need to look into the laws here. I don't want to get fined, or charged for property tax on an old Honda I sold a few months back. :eek:

    Road rage? Want to smash other bikers with a baseball bat? Race to the death??

    I'm taking a serious trip down memory lane with this thread. Anyone remember Racing Destruction on Commodore 64? My brothers and I spent so much time on that daggone thing. Probably got in a few fights over it, too. Racing Destruction Set - Commodore C64 - YouTube Btw -- I can never...

    HELP - Dented wheel..

    The same thing happened to me with my car. I know that's different, but I was able to find a tire place that also fixes big rigs who straightened it out, and it's been OK in the years since.

    Happy Birthday Lone Starr

    SEMI NSFW (gore) - FZ6 crash report from reddit

    Likewise. :BLAA: I'm taking a few days off anyway, as my arms & legs are like rubber from a weekend of recording.
