Well it was a little ahead of schedule but couldn't pass up this deal. Out the door for $4321: a 2008 black FZ6 with 6,404 miles, hard Givi bags, Leo Vince cans and Hyperpro rear spring. I'm the 3rd owner.
Here it is after I loaded it Chevy Silverado (Texas Edition).
Here after I unloaded it and took a long trip to the Valero gas station to fill her up (2.132 gallons).
Every trip I make into town is at least 40 miles round trip and in my truck (my only vehicle) at 17-18mpg it's costing on gas. I figure this way I get to help the environment (do I get a Government check?) and have fun doing it.
It's 103 at the house right now and I just came back from the first short ride. It's hot. Anyway, I realized I need to wear some ear protection of some sort since even after 20 minutes of riding I could tell my ears were almost ringing. My helmet is a Scorpion EXO 1000, it does an OK job at venting and noise reduction. Not the best, not the worst.
Cheers! :america:
