No more dirt jiggers for me, getting a roadie again...

2003 GSXR600

Love the colour scheme. Hate the gearing (why do the come geared so high stock, 100 in first is silly?).

05 Honda CBR600RR and VJ22 Suzuki RGV250. The 250 is a trackbike, soon to be racebike.

Nope, don't have a motorbike, but I'm only 17 after all. Planning to get one some day.

(Hey Lex, valve job every 6K at $1K a pop.)

Which is exactly why my Bro-in-law lent me this thing:

for a few months last May.

All I have to do is change the belts and check/adjust the valves. He provides all the parts, I do the work and then play with it for a while. Easiest thing in the world to change the belts on too [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] except they have to be tuned like a guitar string .... ie. the tension is checked by the frequency of vibration [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img] .... sounds wacko ...... but its pretty brilliant, and easy, really [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Fun bike though especially when its a loaner [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

1994 DR350 that is worth about $700. I don't ride it cause it needs $400 to $500 for a OEM clutch. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

Last clutch lasted two long hard rides and about 10 rides to work [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

Wow, I'm impressed...Quite a few motorheads in here [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Jumkie, I am duly impressed. That is a nice collection of metal you've got there...

Bootsakah, I love my FZ6 more than any other bike I've ridden. There are actually quite a few options for after-market exhaust, and it's highly recommended that you replace the stock pipes. They sound like dual kitties purring...kinda sad really [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Other than that I have no complaints about the FZ6. It rides fast and smooth. I can ride it all day long and never have any problems.

Well thanks for showing off your sweet rides everyone!
