    Traded the FZ6 for a Kawasaki Concours 14

    I had looked at a ZZR1200 a few months ago, thought it was only sold in Europe? I'll always think very highly of my FZ6, I rode 15k and the bike never once even burped it was having an issue. The maintenance of the Connie 14 seems higher but I'll get a service manual and do the best I can...

    Traded the FZ6 for a Kawasaki Concours 14

    You are right, the bike is much bigger and will take some getting use to. I took the side cases off for around the local area. I actually started to scrape my SUV coming into the garage the first time as I am not use to the wideness with the cases. This darn bike is going to get me a ticket...

    Traded the FZ6 for a Kawasaki Concours 14

    I've only rode the bike a few times so far. The ride is good, a good situp position especially since the previous owner installed the handle bar risers. It's longer and wider and obviously weights more so I am trying to get use to handling such a bike in cramped and slow situations. The shifting...

    Traded the FZ6 for a Kawasaki Concours 14

    I am moving on from the FZ6 to bigger bike I can take my wife on trips. The FZ6 has been a really great bike and just what I needed to get back into riding. Overall a very versatile bike that can play many roles. I would consider the FZ6 forum one of the best forums I've been associated. I...

    Whats your Favorite Rock song's?

    Very cool, I just saw Dream Theater in concert about a month ago in Clearwater, FL. My 18 year old son is the big Dream Theater fan. I just came along but it was a very good concert and really excellent musicians to say the least.

    Trackday Rant, Video, and Pictures

    Yeah, at that point in the last picture the rear tire is doing the steering once everything has been set in the turn or so from what I've read. Great point on going to the track, one will come away with much more skill and knowledge. Now I just need to do it myself. ;)

    Woo! Shooting Guns!

    I've been shooting guns since I was 4 with a BB gun and at 6 had a .22 single shot. I would not be considered the average kid as my Father was a gun nut and somewhat inappropriate when it came to dealing with kids and guns. I personally was always safe and respectful with my guns and never had...

    Stupid Cagers!!!!!

    Seems we have to account for every possible scenario to include indecisiveness, in a hurry, don't even see you, don't care that you are there, talking on cell phone, playing with the radio, making illegal lanes changes or u-turns, driving too slow or fast, drunk, on crack, on meth for 4 days...

    Almost got hit today.......By a BIKE!!!

    I had a similar encounter with a real young guy go by me in the same lane turning left. He flew down the street 25-30 over the speed limit. I personally ride where I won't get a speeding ticket which is about 10-15 over in the Tampa, FL area so I did not try and keep up with him. I don't like to...

    What would you "upgrade" your FZ6 to?

    After a great deal of research I want a Yamaha VMAX because of some twisted idea that it would be really cool to have something with that much power. I do like the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000. Only wish there were some older models on the market as I really don't want to purchase a bike from a...

    Sprocket down in front or up in back?

    I did the front sprocket with a 15T and I don't feel any acceleration difference. Maybe I was thinking it would be something one could feel. I am going to switch back to the standard front sprocket so I'll have a more accurate speedometer and to keep RPMs down when I cruise the interstate...

    Young kid died not too far away this past weekend

    IMO it takes a certain mentality to ride and stay out of harms way. Anyone that is scared of a bike and riding should never go near a bike as they are an accident waiting to happen. The mixture of a high performance bike with low confidence and experience equals death or paralyzed for life...
