I've had my FZ6 for 5 years and only put about 10,000 miles on it. (13,000 total). Besides normal maintenance I haven't needed any major service or repairs.
I've had my FZ6 for over 5 years now. For whatever reason, I'd never actually explored the full range of motion of the throttle. Sure, I've ridden fast, accelerated quickly, etc. Perhaps, it was the adequate amount of torque I felt in the lower range, the sweet sound of the Two Brothers cans, or...

For my first part time job, I worked as a non-commission electronics and camera salesman in a regional department store (K's Merchandise). Stayed there for 7 years, eventually as a PT 2nd job. It was a great place to work. I'm still working at my first full time job. :)
That rider showed an extraordinary amount of restraint and respect to that officer, no matter who was in the wrong. His brief responses of "Yes sir" were polite and respectful, and in the end, it probably diffused the situation. Kudos to him. You could tell that the officer calmed down towards...
