    So I'm taking some heat from the other forum about safety gear.

    Do they realize you have a 38 rep power? How dare they question you! j/k I agree with you. Nevada State Law or not, ATGATT is always the best policy. Part of taking an "advanced" course means recognizing that this is a dangerous pasttime. Your post is on point.

    Another new happy owner

    Nice review. Thank you. I am 51 years old and also have been riding since 2003. I simply love my FZ6. I've said before that I'm lucky enough to able to afford a bigger or more expensive bike. But as you've stated, it's all about what fits and suits you best. At 5'10" and 150 pounds the FZ fits...

    very sorry to hear that. Thankfully you are OK. The bike can be fixed. Thanks for posting.

    Happy Fizz

    I can see the Fizzer smiling from all the way up here in MA. Nice job. I'm going to have to try the synthetic stuff. The "cranking" into first gear is the only blemish on an otherwise perfect bike.

    Signaling

    I drove 4 friends to a basketball game yesterday. A couple who had never driven with me before watched with interest as I weaved through a busy city. One said "when you signal, you're not really asking to go in, you just go". That got me thinking. I grew up in Brooklyn and it was basically "he...

    Bad consequence of the Dual Headlight mod ...

    I've taken to leaving the high beam on most all the time, day or night. I've passed cops going the other way, ridden behind friends on their bikes or in their cars, and so far no one thinks it's a problem; cops haven't stopped me and the people in front say it's not distracting. I guess I'll go...

    As Don King Used to Say

    Steve, I'd say you've made some pretty good points. I think you've actually convinced me to get that permit to carry. One of my town's cops is a friend of mine and has offered in the past to accompany me to the police station to apply for the permit and I think I'm finally going to take him up...

    Lost a fellow rider and good friend

    I am sorry for your loss David. Thank you for posting this. We need to keep hearing these stories so as we never forget the risk we take riding and try to mitigate that as best we can.

    Punxsutawney Phil

    Just so you know, after last night's snowfall, I put a thousand dollar bounty on that dumbass groundhog, dead or alive.

    I wasn't "confused". I was telling you my conversation with a customer and one of the employees. The customer was the one who (with the employee nodding his approval) said that MA residents need a permit to carry.

    Oldest FZ6 owner on here

    No worries my friend. I won't break any records but I'm 51, 52 in three months. I was worried about the Fizzer when I was about to buy it but then I joined this great forum, disclosed my plans, my age, and experience, and was greatly encouraged to proceed. 5300 miles later, in under 8 months...

    No worries. I was especially interested in what my non-USA brothers and sisters thought about this. Shreve, that's a very sad story. My wife has held me off from buying a gun for 25 years. She's a pediatrician and told me year after year that the pediatric literature was replete with...

    Cardo Scala Q2 MultiSet

    Thank you for this report. Please keep me updated since my buddy and I just purchased this on the internet. We should have it in 5 days or so.

    Yea, I bought a couple of Xenon flashlights which I thought were pretty cool. Didn't really need them but since I couldn't buy any of the guns I felt I should have some kind of souvenir...j/k. As regards guns I am not sure how I stand on this. The above posts are correct. The guy buying the...

    As Don King Used to Say

    Only in America. My buddy and I just got back from a 140 mile round trip ride to Cabela's in Scarborough, Maine. We went to the gun section, which was about the size of my neighborhood. They must have had thousands of different types of hand guns and rifles. Even their stock of BB and pellet...

    One of the all time great bikes, IMO. Congratulations and enjoy.
