Dunno's advice is super sound. It is the way I learned and the way my two boy's and my girl are learning. My oldest is just graduating to my FZ-6 this spring at 19 and having done dirt for almost 3 years. Not because I do not have confidence in them, but because I have no confidence in the other...

That looks like the lake I grew up on in Minnesota. Watching that provided the best belly laugh of the day. Thank you for the entertainment. :thumbup: Be well and enjoy the day, Mike

Hate to say it, but...you can't out run Motorola...just stay reasonable or get your butt on the track where those speeds belong. You can rationalize anything; just remember that doesn't make it right. Be well and enjoy, Mike

Back in '91 or '92 a friend of mine had one of the original model types; either an '89 or '90 version if memory serves me right. One day when we were out riding, I had a Suzuki GS 1100 standard I had been driving a while at that time, he offerred to swap for a bit. After settling in for about 15...

Thanks all. I currently have an '08 FZ6. The latest and greatest of a long line of rides over the years, having started with a kz125 back in the 70's; now that was a beast...lol. I'll get some pic's up in a week or so as I am currently out of town for work. Be well and enjoy. Mike
