New FZ6 in New London CT Area

[Roln 106]

Hello all,

Just recently purchased an '09 FZ6. I'm new to both the FZ6 community and also the motorcycle community. Haven't picked up the bike yet (I am in the travel season for work right now). Just wanted to say hello and ask for any advice on CT licensing and also the motorcycle safety class in CT and any good riding routes in the area.

Can't answer any of your questions but welcome. You've just purchased a great bike. Enjoy.:thumbup:

well.. :welcome: first definitly go take the motorcycle saftey corse.. it pays for itself in the long run.. as for living in new london.. im sorry JK... your in a good spot for ridding.. any where north of you is great.. anything out toward like stonington or westerly, RI is beautiful... north, north east of you (you know.. east of the river). great twisties, good roads with not alot of bump, and not to many police for when you want to open 'er up.. other than that RIDE SAFE!!! :thumbup:

Welcome! Used to live in Avon, CT, near Hartford for 4 years. Some nice roads...but, I didnn't have a bike then. Definitely take the MSF course.

Hey, I live in Groton, right across the river! Shoot me a PM if you wanna go riding sometime.

Yeah, I work in the Stonington/Mystic area and am planning on turning this into both a daily commuter vehicle and also a weekend pleasure vehicle. I travel a lot for work, but whenever, I'm home I plan on putting as many miles on her as possible.

Anyone have any good suggestions on getting to the other side of the river. I really don't like the looks of the 95 north/south groton-new london bridge. It seems as though it would be a death trap between the traffic and the posssible high velocity winds coming off the water.

wind is usually not a problem.. just hold on tight ...
