I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Wanders, I am very sorry to hear of your pain and hope you'll feel better soon. I wrote something a little more light hearted in "The Bar." I apologize if I caused you more pain. Norm

Insight and Wisdom After a long night of call I sat before the three attendings and presented my cases from the night before. Internship, boot camp if you will, became a founding father of the concept of insult to injury and kicking you when you’re down. When I finished the first presentation...

Thank you.

The Road and The Biker I never gave the road much thought. Not in my car anyway. On my bike I’ve thought about it quite often. I remember some of the old cars when I was growing up. The ones that would actually rust through and you could see the ground, sometimes right through the floor of...

I was thinking the same thing Eric. If I go, I'm asking your wife to come with me. I guess I'll stop at the dealer tomorrow, see if they got one and have him throw a # at me just for fun. I knew that bike was great but after reading all your posts and now hearing all the stuff you're saying...

Damn Eric, you're killing me. Now I've been back to the Yamaha site 300 times and thinking about that FZ1. I'm checking out mileage and insurance rates and damn, damn, damn. I was so content just 48 hours ago. If I walk into the dealership I'm done for...must resist...

Congrats Eric. Sounds like you've been ready to move up for a long time now. She's a monster I hear.:thumbup:

X2; Love my Mac. My wife remained a diehard PC user. Complained constantly about viruses, slow running, rebooting. I just kept saying "get a Mac". She did and hasn't looked back. Her only complaint these days "Man this thing gets hot!" (15 inch MacBook Pro-back gets quite hot-she's checking out...

That was outstanding! Thank you. I agree whole-heartedly.

I'm closing in on 10,000 miles in 10 months. While I haven't owned a ton of bikes, I've ridden many friend's bikes. I have yet to ride one that I would flat out trade mine for. The FZ6 is a top notch all around bike and each day I look forward to riding it, possibly more than the previous day.

Prayers sent your way. Hang in there my friend.

Congratulations. In fact congratulating you gives me another post. So I got that going for me...

Well I think everyone said what needed to be said. I'll add that if you were my friend or relative I'd have given you the same counseling you've received here but also praise you for being brave enough to take the bike on the road. Don't let this discourage you. You'll be a better and safer...

With terminal velocity sometimes being as slow as 120 MPH you may have to throw it Down the cliff to make it faster than the FZ6. Get the bike my friend, you'll love it! And welcome to a first class forum.:thumbup:

Tell your little brother to get the bike he wants, at the same time setting the tone for his future marriage: his ride, his choice.

Glad to hear you're mostly OK. The bike can be fixed to new so just focus on feeling better!

Craig, you and I met at the motorcycle show in Chicago and I remember you telling me about that first ticket. You're too good a guy to be getting all these tickets. I'm sorry to hear this news but I guess the good news is that you're feeling a lot more confident on the Fizz. Be careful my friend.

It's not just you. I've had people do all sorts of stupid things and never once acknowledged they made a mistake. Not just on a bike. In the store when they made incorrect change, at the restaurant when they got the wrong order, etc. They must have all been raised by lawyers: "Never admit...
