Ok Family, Spring is here and it's time to RIDE. For all you new riders new to the FZ6, RESPECT THE THROTTLE!! This holds true for any motorcycle you get but believe me, this may be a 600cc bike but it has plenty of power to get even seasoned riders in a bit of trouble. Everyone, lets...

I got the stock mirrors. They are not perfect but minor adjustments leaning one way or the other and seating position allows me to see what I need to see.

I always use them because my hearing is really good. So much so that the doctor could not believe I was hearing the tones during the last test. I want to keep it that way so an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Also, it makes the ride more peaceful and there is less fatigue and...

PT appointment today. Ankle is stronger than last week but still weak. My range of motion has improved a great deal. I can bear my full weight but stability muscles are weak. I can also rise on my toes a bit but I don't do that a lot just because. Almost walking normal but it is a little...

Welcome to the FZ6 family. It truly is a wonderful machine. I have a 2008 and I will not get rid of it until it or me is no longer road worthy. The gear you wear is so very important. I left the house on a hot day once without my riding gear and wouldn't you know it, I went down. My left...

Week one in the boot is done. My physical therapy starts on the 27th of March and my next doctors appointment is 1 April. I will continue to wear the boot until otherwise directed. I am able to put full weight on it (doctor says that is ok). It is fairly stiff but I have been doing the...

Will do. I hope I will not have to wear the boot too long. If I can get back to walking and riding by April that will be great.

When they went in to repair and pull out the torn meniscus thats when they realized I had a torn ACL. They could not fix it cause I was out during the operation. When I came to, that's when I found out. Never had it repaired.

My ACL in my left knee has been torn since 1988. Truly the walking wounded.

No snap sound. It is not a full tear.

Yes, I was playing basketball. I was midway through the third game when a guy stepped on my heel as I was ready to take off. No pop, just felt like a bad stretch. I could not walk on it when I stood up. Not a lot of pain either.

My fellow FZ-6 Riders Good news is it happened during the Winter months so I don't think I will miss too much riding this Spring. The bad news is, it happened. I did not get operated on because its a partial tear but I have been in a cast almost a month now. I go back in on the 3rd of...

Went out today and it turned out to be much cooler than I thought. Ended up stopping at a KMart to buy something to go on under my jacket. Anyone got any plans for a ride soon?

I would not want to live without any of them. However, no cell phone would be the lesser of all the evils.

I have never had one and no one has given me one. Now, if someone gave me one then I would use it. I am much more inclined to put my faith in God watching over me.

It has happened to me once or twice but nothing really big. I make it a point to keep both wheels on the ground as much as I can.

All, trust the gut feeling you have. I had noticed on my last ride that things were not sounding right with my chain. I opted to cut my ride extremely short and take the opportunity to look things over. Well, I noticed the chain had a kink or two in it. I had heard a little noise on the...

In Woodbridge, VA. The power flickered a few times, trees blown down some, and lots of wind and rain. Did not have to go to work for two days but now it's back to the grindstone.

I guess we will have to wait a bit longer. No biggie, I understand how things do not go according to well laid plans. It's the nature of doing business.

Thanks all for the birthday wishes
