    A short tour.

    I got out today for a short tour , put about 400 kms on . Saw some pretty scenery , was great. Its amazing how nature looks greener , the air is cleaner , and things are so much more vivid when I am riding.

    Any of you guys get calls from some scam called cardholders with offers to lower your interest rates. I get them from all over the U.S Virginia, Ohio,etc. Last one that called I decided to talk to them , on the phone for maybe 15 mins until they ask for my credit card number. I say sure just...

    Gas in Canada

    My man , everything is ABOOT the same here as there . Credit cards are the same , currency is interchangeable , food ABOOT the same .Except you guys eat fries with mayo thats wrong :spank: . I've noticed some subtle differences but not to many. I wouldn't worry about culture shock.

    First time rider in the street

    Yes it is normal to have fear. I've just took up riding this year after a 20 year break. I have had the same fears as you but they are slowly fading , as they will with you. Like some of the other guys said , its good to have an awareness of how exposed you are. When I was 20 and riding I dont...

    howd you find your fz6

    :rof: I did the exact same thing. I had put a deposit on a Triumph Bonneville initially back in January. Then realized that the FZ6 was a lot more bike for a lot less money. I don't regret going with the FZ6 one bit.

    Picked up my new bike:)

    I picked up my 08 fz6 (black) on Thursday,I put a couple hundred kilometers on it over the weekend. It's a great bike , handles well and easy to maneuver at low speeds . It also has more low end torque than I was expecting. In a nutshell it's a lot of bike for the price. I did notice it shifts...
