I still have my FZ6s in my garage, but this time it will be the water cooled R1200GS for six days. Just arrived here in southern Spain today, stay tuned.... Hope it is not off topic this way...

    Work/Life Balance

    60hrs a week makes it hard to have any fun. While I ride the FZ almost every day I don't get to have any fun, on or off the bike. I found myself about 10 miles down some muddy powerlines on the fz thanksgiving day just because I had the day off and I wanted to have some quiet.. I have started...

    Where to stay in NYC?

    Hi guys, My family and I decided to spend our winter vacation in the US. We are going to NY for 7 days in January. Now, I am looking for a hotel on Manhattan. I found many good offers, and, to be honest, I am a little bit confused. The fact is I have no idea what district to choose. It seems...

    Another Deals Gap ride 10/11&12 2014

    Had some time the other weekend. We really wanted to ride down Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway to Fontana, but with the weather, lack of lodging availability, and our time constraints we just loaded the bike up in the trailer and headed out. Two days just isn't enough time. I've been to the...

    Anyone here use their FZ6 for Moto Gymkhana?

    Just curious, I've been practicing with some locals here in NYC. The guys who participate ride as follows: FZ-09 Gen II SV650 EX500 KTM 450? (Not sure, its a single cylinder and looks dirtbike-ish haha) The Fizzer is definitely the heavyweight of the bunch. The last time I was riding with...

    The FZ6 is gone.......

    .....and it's back to XT's! I love them.....had a lot of them over the years! The Fazer was a great bike....but in the environment that I live, a big trailie is by far the best option. Finding a good XT600 isn't easy these days....they were killed off by EU emissions regulations back in...

    Completed 2-day training with Eric Bostrom and top coaches

    So overwhelmed right now. Also somewhat depressed and frustrated. You know the whole "go slow to go fast" thing? Very hard to do, but it's essential to make progress and correct so many things I wasn't doing right.. so I'm quite a bit slower now than I was before this school :rolleyes...

    Did I screw up my engine?

    Did I screw up my engine? (Yet another vibration post) Sorry for the wall of text... I'm nervous that I broke my baby! Firstly, I've done a bit of searching and reading, and feel that this is a unique problem (maybe).. so here goes: This is my first bike that I've owned. Learned to ride...

    Deer hunting with a FZ

    not sure if it quite deserves the "hall of shame" but it is an accident none the less. I cut a deer in half on the FZ tonight. (I'll refrain from posting the pic of the deer until an admin posts as I am not sure if the "gore" is acceptable, will post that particular pic conditional upon...

    Tacho blinks

    I noticed that sometimes when I start riding there is a blinking bar at the tachometer between 0 and 2k (just on the bottom). Then after some time it stops. Anyone knows why it's doing it? It is on a 06 model with digital tacho.
