True story. I know, because I was there!
Let me begin by admitting the obvious. I, am a dead man! If I'm lucky, my wife will just kill me quickly. If not, she's going to make me suffer for a LONG time before letting me finally die... (I'm thinking death by 10,000 knitting needle pokes).

I was wondering what suggestions you guys might have to make the FZ6 into a competent light tourer? I was looking at an FJR, but it's too darned big for riding around town.
