    Test drove an R1 today....

    I had the same esperience with the R6. I'm a big guy, and it was just too cramped, but the R1 was the most comfortable sport bike I've ever tried. Still hoping to get one in the future!

    Vibration around 6000 - 7000 RPM

    Just keep it above 7K, all the time! :cool:

    Hanging my lid for a while!

    Did you have carpal tunnel before joining the forum? Take your time on rehab so everything has the time it needs to recover. Your ride will be patiently waiting for your return!

    Re the Honda steering damper, it's electronic.

    Might be time to give it up

    Hey, if it runs and is otherwise safe (required to be legal parts), keep it, ride it, and enjoy not having to worry about it getting dinged, dropped, or demolished. For at least the present you can think of her as your long, lost love, and spend some time bringing her back to life. You may...

    Going overseas for a year...sell or keep the bike?

    Keep it. It's not hard to "store" for a year, you'll be able to think about riding it while you're in Korea, and it'll be easy to lube, gas and ride once you get home.

    Sound when you turn the key to "on"?

    That's the sound of fuel injection pump spraying gas into the cylinder.

    FZ6R or managers CBR600RR

    You may also want to check the thread "What Did You Pay For Your FZ6R?" $8200 OTD is high, no matter where you live. +1 What's already been said about the two bikes. Throttle response on the 6R is more consistent, and therefore predictable. That means you'll be able to use more of the 6R...

    Should I stay or should I go...

    Since she's looking to more than one source for signs she's attractive, interesting, desirable it seems like she's questioning herself more than her relationship with you. Unfortunately, it may take some time - and bad experience - for her to get her life together, and she may decide she can't...

    Lifes thoughts....

    Yeah, I've had a thought or two about riding away from things, but couldn't convince myself that Janis was right when she sang "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose". Freedom, to me, is knowing that I'm not owned by the things I have. I appreciate what I have, but I don't worry...

    A not very talked about situation

    Whoa, where have you been? Complaints about rising tuition and fees are in the news every year, even to the point of some colleges and universities rescinding increases. Farm teams for liberal politics and votes? Where do you think all the people who comprise big business, Wall Street got...

    Boots

    Good luck with Euro sizing! +1 for a set of gaiters that can be worn over standard (non-waterproof) boots. I have an old pair from HD, and a new pair from TourMaster. They'll keep you dry, and your boots clean.
