Garmin Zumo 550 for the following reasons: $642 on Amazon.com but that price included: - car cradle with built-in speakers - separate motorcycle cradle, specifically for use on the bike - motorcycle wiring harness for direct-to-battery power - built-in battery so that I can...

Bruce, I'll be watching the registration for Charlotte SS1000 and if I see you and Bryan have registered, I'll plan to come over there and do it, too.

Congratulations and best wishes to your GF as she joins the riding community. You may be tempted to take that little Ninjette out for a ride or two yourself. I have several male riding friends who own Ninjettes as a second bike, parked next to their LD riding mounts of choice.

I don't work (retired) so my FZ is used only for having fun.

Nice! I like the matte look on helmets...I have a matte gray Arai.

When/if you get to Texas, be sure to let us Texans know; we'll show you where the good roads are (no, Texas is definitely not all flat)

Congratulations on the new FZ6 and welcome to the forum, Troy. I have nothing to add to what the others have said. Have fun and enjoy the FZ6!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your most excellent choice in motorcycles! I put Grip Puppies on mine (foam sleeves that just slide on over the grips, $14.99 from a California motorcycle dealer here in the U.S.) and they made a very big difference in the hand grip buzz.

Like you, I must carry around 2 keys...so just checked, but no joy, no match. Good idea, though.

The great thing about attempting the B2B or the GLC, is that you can start out doing either of those at the "Gold" level and, if time starts getting away from you, continue on, knowing you can finish it at the less-extreme level. Good riding and be sure to give us a report and write-up when...

I'm voting for "other." Do a BBG first, before attempting the longer endurance rides you've listed. A BBG is a tough ride. You'll learn a lot by attempting it and will gain the experience you'll need to attempt a longer endurance ride such as a Border to Border or Great Lakes Challenge...

You may have the answer (adjusted when new tire fitted). When I brought mine in for the first 4,000 mile service, my chain was still well within spec. They adjusted it anyway, and adjusted it too tight (I could feel it binding when riding slow).

Justin, I have the Corbin Gunfighter on my FZ and a Bill Mayer saddle on my BMW (Custom Motorcycle Seats-Bill Mayer Saddles>). This is the 3rd Bill Mayer seat I've had, and have loved every one of them, easily put 1000-1600 mile days on it with no problem at all. Rocky at Bill Mayer Saddles...

Wow, Doug! I was holding my breath until I finished reading your post to learn the outcome. Glad to read that you are okay and bike stayed up through all that.

LOL! You made me look at your profile. I've got a decade on you! :eek: I've discovered that the FZ6 is a very capable cross-country touring bike. I've got mine set up with Givi's and have done some great 2,000+ mile trips on her. 'Course, my BMW R1200R (and the R1150R before her) is the...

Good choice!! We'll be looking forward to the trips and photos. Have fun and be safe!

No advice to give, just saying Welcome and good luck with the search for your perfect FZ6.

Some cool photos, Bryan!

Glad to hear you're okay...just a little stiff...from the incident. I agree...there are so many times I've wished I'd had a camera handy to document driver stupidity. Take care; bikes can be fixed, bodies not so easily.

The same can be said for where I live on the Texas Gulf Coast. We just have to watch out for the first few minutes, as the roads get greasy, especially in the hot summer, but as someone else said on this thread, good riding gear can make a big difference in comfort, so that all attention can...
