    Highway 94 claimed another fz6r.... mine.

    Glad you're (relatively) OK. If you have insurance, you should hope it's NOT salvageable. It would suck to have it repaired and then find some hidden damage a year later, like a crack in something that gets bigger in time. I would try to get a new bike out of this, but that's just my opinion...

    What a sweet deal. This should sell quick.

    FS: 2009 Cadmium Yellow

    My friend just bought a bike in TN and the title was simply mailed to him via FedEx. The buyer just has to trust you enough :)

    FS: 2009 Cadmium Yellow

    Not that's any of my business, but it's customary for the buyer to arrange shipping. You can start here and get lots of quotes fro different companies: uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves Many people I ride with found their shippers through there.

    Fair price for 09 FZ6R?

    It's spring and all bikes fetch top dollar. This is why I buy in the fall and sell in the spring. I'm hanging around here, waiting until August. Last September they were going for about 4000 - 4500 in my area, but I had two bikes in the garage and there was no room for third. I sold one and now...

    Paid off!!!!!

    I agree with you in theory, but in reality tomorrow does come for most people and they end up posting things on craigslist that sound like "need to sell asap to pay for electricity and heat, asking 18,000 for a 6,000 item because I financed it for 25% over 15 years. No lowballers." :D In my...

    Suggestion: Enjoy her for a while, get your money's worth.

    FINALLY! First ride!

    I ride 2-up with my wife all the time, but I would say not having even a 100 miles of riding experience is too soon to ride with a passenger. As a matter of fact, I have not taken her on a ride on any of my new bikes until I logged 500-1000 miles and I'm confident that I know the bike. Hold...

    DO NOT use Goo Gone!!!!!

    And no more paper towels!

    DO NOT use Goo Gone!!!!!

    I don't think you should focus on the Goo Gone. My opinion: 1.) Paper towels messed up the clear coat. You can not rub paint with paper towels, not even with just water. Use microfiber towels next time and NEVER reuse them on paint again, even after washing them. I found out the hard way...

    DO NOT use Goo Gone!!!!!

    Goo Gone? I have used it on at least a dozen cars and bikes, NEVER with any negative results (other than sometimes goo not being gone) Are you confusing it with Goof Off?

    Wife wants to ride my baby

    Just let her do it. If she drops it - tell her "Congrats on a new bike, now lets go buy one for me." She won't object.

    First Ride

    I would give anything to experience that "first ride" feeling again. Congrats!

    Checking one out tomorrow!

    Great advice, but it seems to mostly deal with the signs of neglect or improper service. What about signs of abuse? What to look for to see if the the bike has been raced, wheelied, had burnouts etc.?

    What would you do?

    Do the oil changes yourself. Even if the dealer is 1 mile away from your house, it will be quicker for you to do it than to wait for them.

    From FZ6R to Liter Bike

    I have been through several bikes in several years and have formed an opinion it's not about the CCs but about the purpose of your riding. I need my 1000 V-Strom when accelerating up a steep mountain past a 1977 buick with my wife and luggage on the bike. But I hate the size, weight and a...

    Black Gunk/Clean Chain

    Unless you are using a cleaner that can hurt O-rings or brush too hard, you should be OK.
