Excellent day!

Awesome trip report, pictures & video... some of these views are f_ing amazing!!! Lefty, I am looking forward to riding with you soon again!!!

yeah, it's not a bike for taller/bigger ppl :) When Moldmaker rode my bike he looked a bit like this too:

I crashed the Gixxer at the track and can't find the time to fix it, so I got rid of it... will certainly find another one in a few years when the kids are a bit older :)

Hey Nate :) Yeah the Tuono is niiiiice... probably a bit overrated for the streets for me (what are they reaching now, like 200HP and 100ft/lb of torque?), but yeah I'd ride it :) I don't think I'll ever get rid of the Buell as long as it works (which we all know may not last that long lol)...

Put me down to be confirmed shortly :)

Going back to the french Mediterranean coast this summer? Let us know when you'll be down here a few weeks in advance :thumbup: The Buell is comparable to a Monster in ergos and upright seating, but I don't know much more than that... I rode an '10 696 a couple of years ago and it felt really...

Hey Rob! How's life on the East Coast? I rode a BMW F800R a couple of weeks ago and it reminded me of your Triumph... not quite as smooth but very nice also and similar handling characteristics of the Buell... you guys that are used to riding smooth rides like that can't handle the Buell...

Yeah the Jardine's carbon fiber was too weak for the heavy vibrations of the air cooled V-twin :) see photos and details here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/29134-fix-carbon-fiber-anyone.html For modding the stock exhaust I had Hawk Performance tweak the can per their...

I don't get out as often as I'd like anymore, but I still reached 30k miles on the Buell :) work's getting better lately, so hopefully I can get back to min 1 ride/month soon :) Sup Cliff! How's life in SD? :) Do we have a yearly FZ6 forum ride coming up? :BLAA: Yes she was :) I don't...

In Long Beach, CA... you can spot the Queen Mary in the background :rockon:

Lol thx for the rep bro! That thread was good indeed :)

That was fun... ty

Awesome!!! I didnt know there was a camera man up there now...:thumbup:

And the video: FZ6-Forum Group Ride - Palomar - 2/4/12 - YouTube

Awesome ride! It was great to see everyone again... I have the Palomar climb on video so I'll post that in the near future :) Again, it was a blast to see all of you again.

Ok mom... I go to the track to push it... Going around the track conservatively to make sure I won't crash is the opposite of what I enjoy the track for. My last crash on the streets (with me being the root cause) was 4+ years ago & 30,000+ miles.

Lag when opening the throttle? Weird, since there is less slack in a belt compared to a chain... Next time try adjusting the throttle cable :thumbup:

I don't think this bike was designed for touring... and ppl who change their gearing on a regular basis on their bikes are a minority. But hey, if you need 12 different gearing combinations for your FZ6, I can understand that any bike without a good old dirty chain would not be your cup of tea :D
