California gal's FZ6 (pic-heavy)

[Roadstergal]

I've had my FZ6 for a while, but just stumbled over this forum.

(I'm actually a midwestern gal living in California, but that seems to be a rather common situation.)

With my husband's SV1000S:

Yesterday evening:

A ride with an R6 friend:

Train tracks.

Urban.

Thank y'all for the welcome!

Photography is my hobby. I'm following in the footsteps of a good friend of mine who is an incredible photographer; I bought her Olympus E-500 as my first dSLR when she upgraded, and have been learning the ropes with the stock lenses.

I like Shoei; I had a Scorpion before, but I just feel better about the reputation of the Shoeis, and they make the RF-1000 in an XXS, which fits me better than any other I've tried.

Roadstergal: Nice background on the first photo (bet you didn't leave bikes there overnight).

Great pics Roadstergal, you obviously have talent as a photgrapher.

I think the RED looks great,

Phenomenal photos! Welcome aboard! Whereabouts in the Midwest, do you originally hail from?

Heh, I saw that No Parking sign and told m'boy, "Let's park there!"

I was born in Evanston, and lived most of my formative years in Chicago and the near suburbs.

It's a great bike. I've done very little to it; I added the Givi cases, had Dave Moss of Catalyst Reaction set the suspension for my weight, took off most of the stickers, and added Goodridge lines to the front. Oh, I rotated the levers upwards a bit for my teeny mitts, if that counts as a 'mod.'

I found this forum while looking for a good price on the chin fairing, actually, which is the only other thing I'm feeling like doing for now.

Stock exhaust. I have loud bikes for offroad purposes; I rather like that my streetbike is quiet and smooth.

Judging from your picture in your avatar, I would've guessed you wore XXXL!
Great pics, and welcome! :thumbup:

Thank y'all for the warm welcome! I'll check out that photo contest.

I had an SV650 once, but I like the smoothness of the FZ6 better - and I feel that the '07, at least, has a better suspension than the SV650.

His SV1000 is a different beast, of course, and he's making it even more of a beast with a GSX-R1000 suspension.

We like our bikes so much, we got married on them.
