That's some hard riding 2000 miles on a 1098! All power to tem...they must have a good Chiropractor!

yeah two of them are kinda short and one is like 6 foot 4 I don't know how they do it

 

[wolfc70]

I guess I'm a semi poser cause I take my ponytail off after a ride on the Duc! Funny stuff though!

I guess I would not include the Ducati ST series. Some of the ST riders I know rack up the miles like the BMW riders do. Probably the most ergonomically correct Ducati ever made.

Love that color!

You forgot that you also have to have your bulldog riding on the tank.


And my leathers match......a one-piece is awfully hard to get mismatched

Keira, you are female, we would forgive you if your two piece leathers matched :thumbup:

or if you tried to make them match Rob's :spank:

I literally cracked up when I read the "Gucci" Saddle bags :rof::rof:. I can actually see someone trying to do that, or at least trying to fake it.

In the UK a poser would more likely ride a BMW R1200GS Adventure than a Duke. You often see them in west london - head to toe BMW branded gear on a spotless GS. Then there's the Italians on scooters wearing nothing but a suit, open face helmet and a cigarette!

I love those Italian guys...:rof:they just crack me up!!! However...the English posers...no thanks.

Unfortunately I probably look the part of a poser as my brand new bike is sparkly fresh, and since I had a cruiser before...my new leather jacket has no cracks, scuffs and happens to say Yamaha:cheer: because I thought it was the best looking one I could find that also came fully armored, was warm enough for riding in the winter and didn't cost me $800. My gloves are the same color...black...the same as my boots and my bike.

I do happen to think the stock seat is fairly comfortable...at least more comfortable than my old Vulcan's Corbin seat. I can ride 6 hours straight on the FZ with only a few small breaks...if I tried that on the Vulcan I wouldn't be able to walk for a week!!!:thumbdown:

Love the list though...I'll try to work on scuffing the leather...just hope it won't be from laying the girl down! I like the clean look I've got so far

 

[GodSpeedLuc]

haha. LoL. good list.

i feel proud not to fit into any of that so im no poser which i already knew!

 

[Have2BeFree]

I guess I'm ok with my Joe Rocket textile jacket, BMW riding pants and Harley boots then.............but I did get a mini laptop thinking it would fit in the tank bag.......

- You spit out the bug that just flew in your mouth. mmmm protein!
- You spend more time shining your bike than riding it. once a month, but I still ride it way more!
- You're too cool to wave at the kids in the mom-mobile in front of you. HA, I have pictures floating around on many a child's computer from photos taken from a mom-mobile
- You grab for your hairbrush before your old lady. short hair rocks in the helmet
- You take your bike into the shop for oil changes. never again with a shop...
- Your $500 boots aren't scuffed from riding. I ripped off the toe sliders...does that count?
- You think that a kick-starter is a mocha latte. what if you RIDE to get that latte? LOL

When I rode a cruiser I felt like a poser. Maybe I was. Its hard not to feel that way with all the attention they get. All the HD guys thought I was one since I was riding a HONDA Of course they didn't do any of their own maintenance, wouldn't ride if it was colder than 70F, and couldn't ride 50 miles without stopping for a latte.....

Great thing about an FZ6 is that no one around here has a clue what it is. Mine hardly resembles a sportbike anymore - it's kinda like an ugly combo of random, personalized things. Maybe that's worse....but I like it.

For the record the stock FZ6 seat is pretty good. That won't stop me from upgrading it when I have the $$.

 

[Smittyboy]

you spit out the bug that just flew in your mouth. YAY FOR FULL FACE HELMETS... BOO TO BUG SPLATS...

- your tattoos wash off. Celtic cross clan...
- you put your pony-tail back in the drawer after you get home. Sorry, i have a... You get it.
