    Owner's Manual as a .pdf somewhere?

    I bought the bike having no idea wtf I was getting into. I'm NOT AT ALL unhappy about my experience so far, although I did post about it scaring the hell out of me at first. After searching on here, getting gear, and riding the bike, I've not only learned to respect the machine, instead of...

    Noob Question of the Century...

    I posted that my bike felt like an axe-murderer. That was my first entry into the dumbass of the year awards... I've adjusted, still had a few :eek: moments, but I'm used to it, and I freaking love it. THIS takes the cake though - how do I open the dang seat up to put my wallet and a half...

    Mom told me when I turned 30 I could have a motorcycle...

    ...well, of course, I waited... and then when I turned 30, I waited 8 more years. But after several months of intense research, reading reviews, price shopping, sitting on and riding a variety of "newb friendly but not boring" bikes - of course I picked an FZ6! :rockon: I'll be picking her...
