Where my fz6 story ends...

[Philippe1985]

I had an accident about one month ago in which my bike got totalled. It wasn't my fault, so now I'm waiting on the insurance money and then I'm going to buy a new black fz8 abs. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

And how it was before:

Sorry to see your bike in this condition. I hope you are okay. It looked very nice and I see you had the faster red color.

I'm sure you can sell the akra's easily on this site. Best of luck in the future with the FZ8.

Drove an FZ8 today and I didn't liked it as much as I like the FZ6, ok the 8 does have lots of torque in the low to mid rpm, but I'm missing the kick in the butt when you go above 8k rpm on the 6.

Save the exhaust and see if you can make one of the cans work on your FZ8.
Glad you're okay! Also you don't have to be a stranger to the best motorcycle forum on the WWW! :rockon:

Edit: Why not an FZ1?

 

[Philippe1985]

Well, it wasn't that bad because of my back protector. I made contact with the car with my back first. I was in full gear so. After this experience it is really bad to see people on there bikes without gear at all. I was a safety freak before and now I'm that even more. I bought completely new gear now for 2112 euro...At first I thought I wouldn't be riding again because of fear, but I just can't stop riding. It just love it so much....

 

[goanookie]

You did make me purchase a back protector after reading the story, but I do hope nobody has to test the safety of the gear in real life.

That really cheers me up. It really is a life saver. I hope you will never need it.

Well, that's a good question.

Hope you feel ok, sad to see the bike in that condition, as long as your ok. Have fun on the F8, I might look at the Speed Triple getting best marks in that class.

 

[greg]

the speed triple is indeed a thing of beauty

saw this at cadwell the other week:

 

[Philippe1985]

The street triple is very nice, but it hasn't got abs...

 

[DDS]

Neither does my fz6

 

[wolfe1down]

Glad you made out ok. Bike looks a mess. What happened in the accident? Were you cut-off?

 

[7UPyours]

glad you're ok and sad to see the bike in this shape

side note, what are your plans with the exhaust.....thinking about selling it?

 

[CHEMIKER]

Wow, that bike really took a beating. It sounds like you came out okay, that's good to hear. Hope you get your new FZ soon!

 

[dean2287]

I'm also very glad that you are OK. Another sobering reminder of ATGATT.

I have the same bike, same year and color. It's really sad to see your's end up like that, but hey better the bike than you!

You have made me seriously consider a back protector also. Thanks for the post and the pics! Best regards.

Sad to see a FZ6 destroyed

But I am glad that you are ok!!!!!

 

[Ransom]

Glad you are ok!

So that is what is looks like when a FZ6 cries.

I think your story has pushed me that little bit I needed too. I am going to order a back protector tonight.

I kept putting it off as I ususally ride with a backpack(that has backpads and a hardplastic sheet behide that) but I don't always have a backpack on.

 

[Yamma~Tiger]

Glad to hear your okay. And your right It is very VERY sad to see people riding without protection, but live and let live.... right?

This is why I bought a new jacket with a back protector. I'm sure most of you guys and gals remember this sad story:

Seattle to Argentina on a KLR650 - ADVrider

Sorry If I brought up any bad memories. But I would like to think that we all learned something from this. I was depressed for over a week after reading this and almost couldn't ride.
