Hey peeps. It's been a WHILE and I thought I'd give a personal update. Those of you who know me, know I sold my FZ6 back in 2012 when I took a job with Sprint, got divorced, and had no garage. Well, in 2013, I took a job with a Harley-Davidson dealership and shortly after, bought a 2009 XR1200...
Well I haven't logged in since February according to my profile, but I just thought I should give you guys an update since I've been gone for over a year really.
As most of you know I sold my FZ6 last spring when I took a job that would keep me too busy to ride. Well that has gone through...
I have the power commander 5 from my 2006 FZ6 for sale. It was used a year or so and is in perfect condition. I removed the unit before I sold the bike.
SOLD!
Planning on taking the exhaust and PC-V off this afternoon as well as the seat and selling them separate. Bike, $3,250, seat, $300, Power Commander 5, $280, and the Leo Vince LV1 Carbon exhaust for 04-06 with cat eliminator pipe, $500.
I picked up a new used bike a couple weeks ago and haven't said much as I've had to get it running (the previous owner had left it outside for quite a long time). So...... I present to you, my motorcycle friends, my new project...wait for it.....
ZUMA 50!
Has been sitting...
We are selling this bike to a guy from Vermont and shipping it. Since I normally do new bike introduction, and won't have face to face time with this guy, we used the magic of the Internet to go over the FZ8.

A local sportbike group, the Ozark Street Fighters sponsored a ride this weekend they called the "Kill the Corners Ride." Yesterday they had an aggressive ride through the Ozark Foothills ending at Rum Runners bar and grill in Farmington, MO. I worked during the ride but hung out at the...
So, due to work stress, marriage issues, crazy heat and my general wanting to hit the beach, I decided today that I am going to take a vacation to Panama City Beach Florida. In fact, I am leaving this weekend. I am going to push straight through and only stop for fuel and gatorade, spend a...
I am seriously considering running FZ6 forks on the CB550 project. I have fork legs but no triple trees and would need an axle. Anyone upgraded and got their old stock pieces? Looking for something cheaper than ebay.

So, I have done Spies and Stoner now, who is next? Who would be willing to buy a sticker to promote their favorite rider and who would you want?
Post up your ideas.
Here are general prices for a 11" x 5" average size decal (or 29cm by 5-7cm)

I made the Spies decal for me, but I know Stoner is quite popular on here, so..... Anyone interested in a Stoner 27 decal similar to my Spies design?
Here is the Spies for reference.
Price would be the same $10-15 shipped plus $3 to Aus.
White $10
Red $12

Working on NASCAR is boring v2.0
making a decal friendly version that may end up leading to another shirt run.
We'll see.....
This is what I have so far. Of course the official version won't have my name slathered across it.
I put this together last night because I want to replace my VR|46 sticker on my truck with a Spies sticker.
Took the font used on his website and put it over his number, erased the edges and softened it to make it cut smooth.
Anyone else want one of these?
White $10
Red $12

So a coworker had been needing some money and had this to sell.
I had heard it run just three months ago so I know it wouldn't take much to get it going.
I bought it.
Now I am working out what exactly I want to do with this bike. I am a old school but modern-ish cafe racer lover and...
Yamaha shipped two of the coats I am wearing in my avatar when I ordered it, so I bought them both. A year later, I have one still on the hanger in the bag with the tags still on it. Retail on this is $399 but I need to get some tires on my truck so I need money. I'll do $175 shipped.

I am considering selling my Leo Vince exhaust and buying a different system. This includes a cat eliminator pipe which comes as standard on this system. I have had it for almost 3 years and it has about 4,000 miles on a fresh Leo Vince repacking. Includes db killers.
I would sell it for $425...
I have come up with an idea to incorporate the Retro stripe into the tank and fairing on my FZ6. This is what I whipped up tonight just as a starting point.
(the stripe pictured on my bike is a photoshop and will be shaped a little better to the side vent on the fairing before it is...
It looks like I will be going to bike week in daytona beach florida for a few days. Would love to meet some more forum members in the area. Anyone else going to be around? I am leaving STL Sunday March 6 and will be in Daytona Beach the next afternoon. Plan on heading towards home on Thursday...
I just received an email from our Yamaha rep that we are going to have the new Super Ténéré at Surdyke Motorsports this coming week. We are scheduled to have the bike available for you to touch, smell, taste?, sit on and make motorcycle noises while we blow in your face....... you get the...
