Long overdue update. Bought a 2012 Yamaha FZ6R two weeks ago. Been out riding, put on just under 300 miles since I got it. Got all my gear too. Thanks for all the advice guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

not sure what made me think of this thread, especially since I haven't been on the forums in a few years, but here's an "update" so that FZR I posted a few years back ended up being a bust, more work and money than I wanted to spend so I sold it on Craigslist. last spring I went through the MSF course and got my license. I spent the past year ripping around on a rebel 250 and learned a ton about general motorcycle wrenching (not to mention carb tuning). I have a short commute (no highways) and this bike was perfect for learning good habits and gaining experience...had a blast chopping it up into a 'bobber' and making it a bit of a spectacle but damn was it slow today, I picked up my 2015 Yamaha Bolt  hope everyone is well |

would love to actually ride it, been raining for a week straight  definitely loving it so far...besides the obvious power difference, it's great to have a "big boy bike"...hydraulic rear brake, belt drive, digital multi function instrument, and fuel injection  also in the garage is an '82 xv920 virago that I bought as a parts bike for $100 even though all it really needs is a tank, seat, and some electrical work...thinking about stripping it down and making a scrambler / bobber out of it Tom, do you ride out this way at all? still have that Harley I remember seeing in your Brooklyn garage ? |

Yeah, I still have it and ride once in a while. I haven't even started it yet this year and last year rode very little due to my collar bone brake. We should get a "Nexterra Ride" together this year. Maybe up to Scotts for an over night run... Sent from 718 using Tapatalk... |
