    New: a German in Tennessee

    Just a short hello from my side and a short introduction: I'm a 36 year old German engineer in Knoxville, TN. I've ridden a Honda CBR 1000F previously but since my wife wants to start riding, too, we ended up with a 2004 FZ6. Lovely bike, and: lovely forum! Just from reading here I've gotten...
