    After a hiatus, I'm back with a vengeance...

    Hi all, Some of you may remember me from this forum, I was a fairly active member here for about two years. I used to have a 2009 FZ6 in Fastest Black and before that an '85 KLR600 was my faithful (if not gutless) first steed. Well I sold that Fazer and said my goodbyes to the motorcycle...

    Sold my FZ6... but not going anywhere

    Hello everyone. I just sold my FZ6 today and was never so sad to sell anything. Unfortunately it's just not a good time for me to have a bike and it needed to go to someone who would have the time to appreciate it as I once did. I just wanted to take this time to thank this forum for all of...

    Fradulent CC charges

    Motorcycle parking (rant)

    Pretty new here, but I wanted to share with all of you something that I find very annoying. So, at my college there is a motorcycle parking section, it's right in front of the main building and really a great spot to park. I rode my fz to school today and when I got here there were no other...
