Here are a couple more... The odometer is so sad... She died so young. :(

Here are a couple pictures of the bike. I have tons of them showing all the parts and each spot of damage, but the engine and frame took the worst of it. I'll spare you the pics of me... you've all seen road rash before, and it's gross.

I'm cropping down some pics right now... didn't realize that there were size limits... ten minutes tops.

Well, you can already see where this story is going... I hit a deer on the fz6 this Sunday. I was cruising around the backroads in the area at around 6:30 or 7:00 PM, and out pops bambi. Given the speed I was traveling (umm... the posted speed limit of 45mph, because it would be wrong to do...

Hey... That's great. I'm definitely up for a ride down towards your area some time, and I'd probably be up for a little camping too. I'm getting my bike geared up to do some camping anyway. Maybe we can try to get out for a day ride first, maybe in June some time?

I would love to get out for a ride sometime if there are any other Maine riders on the forum. I frequently ride all over the state, so anywhere is fine to meet. I think I rode past an fz6 in the Bucksport area a couple of days ago, but we were both going fast enough for me to not get a clear...

Cool... sounds like I need to look around some more. Sometimes figuring out what to buy is half the fun though.

Glad to be able to help a little. :thumbup: Actually, I might ask what you think of your throttlemeister bar ends. I've been thinking about a pair of those too. Didn't care for the vista cruise, but those are kinda spendy, sooo...

really? I was wondering if the sticky stuff lasted very well. Hopefully it will stay put better than that for me. The other thing I was concerned about is that I have one of the matte textured type of finishes on my helmet, and not a glossy smooth one. I would imagine it would stick even...

Well, being riding season again, I've been buying lots of new farkles for the bike, but I thought I'd pick up a little something for the helmet to make riding a little more pleasant and quiet. I am currently using an HJC ac-12 helmet, which is pretty good, but never did a good job of sealing...

I pretty much feel the same way you do about it. I liked the look and the seating position is comfortable, but the engine sucks. It shook worse than any bike I've ever been on, and even on a 30 min. test ride I couldn't wait to get off of it. I also wasn't really used to the powerband, having...

Well, it's not me, and it's not really a motorcycle crash, but.... A buddy of mine wrecked his scooter pretty hard in Hawaii this winter. He was riding in the bike lane (where scooters are required to ride there) and a big SUV turned right into his path. He didn't have time to stop, and hit...

yeah... I was just going to post that, but you beat me to it I guess. I went down to the buell dealer today and rode a uly. I know there are a lot of you who like those, but I couldn't stand it! In fact, I walked away from it feeling really great about owning an fz6. And to think that the...

Great! Thanks. Hopefully I can get started soon.

Well, like a lot of us, mine is pretty clear... I surf, and I ride an fz6. A careful look might show that I currently live in Maine. Let me promise you that surfing in maine is a horrible experience, and one that I don't want to repeat... brrrrrr! However, I lived in Hawaii and worked as a...

Nice job on the seat, and who cares if it's not as pretty as it could be? Nobody will ever see it under your butt while you are riding! lol Anyway, I was thinking of doing this to my seat as well, and I was wondering what your source for foam is? I'm having a hard time tracking down any good...

I also wear the Cortech GX-Air. When I lived in Hawaii, it kept me cool, and here in maine, I stay toasty warm with both liners in. Good enough for me.

Hey... I was just browsing through the picture thread and was wondering who made the lights on your fz6? They look great!
