Haha - had to laugh last night... worked a night shift on the Air Ambulance with another female pilot, which doesn't happen that often, since there are only two of us, out of about 30 pilots. Landed at the hospital in Campbell River, BC at 3:00 am, only to have one of the local paramedics...

Well... made it back safe and sound from my Vancouver - Vegas - San Diego - Vancouver odyssey! In a nutshell: 5228 km total, gas costs - $261 USD, average mileage 50 mpg or 4.6 l/100km, 1 dead battery (my fault), 3 snowstorms, 1 hail storm (ouch), 1 bee-in-the-helmet, 2 missing bolts (more on...

Okay... maybe it's just a girl thing, but I don't think so... So, what do you affectionately call your bike, if anything? Mine started out as "Dimples", because of the little dent on the top of the gas tank when I bought it. But she's now become "Rosie the Rocket", or just "Rosie"... I must...

Ah... I love it when I have a typo right in the thread title.... Anyhow, it's a long shot, but if there's anyone in the Santa Cruz area with nothing to do on a Tuesday night... I'm in town for the night on my way back to Vancouver from San Diego, and would welcome the chance to meet up for a...

Well folks, the heated grips are installed, the heated vest is wired up, first oil change all done - time to hit the road! :rockon: I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow (Tues.) morning for a 5500 km trip from Vancouver, down to Las Vegas, over to San Diego (Carlsbad), and then a leisurely...

Okay - so I'm finally going to get around to installing my grip heaters this weekend. Since I got so much great advice on removing my current grips... just wondering if I need to purchase "grip adhesive" for putting the grips back on (over-top of the heat tape). I'm hoping to reuse the...

Hi all! Just curious what's involved in removing the grips on the FZ6. I'm looking to install some heat-tape type grip heaters, which basically involves removing the stock grips, wrapping the heat tape around the bars and either replacing the original grips (hopefully), or installing new ones...

Hi all! I'm planning a two-week trip to Vegas and San diego next month, and was wondering if there is a "simple" way to switch the speedo readout from km to mph for the duration of the trip? I realize there's no quick-and-easy way, as per the owner's manual, but would a dealership be able to...

Greetings all! Just picked up my brand new (yes, new) shiny red 2006 FZ6 last week. This is my second bike (first was SV650S) and I'm loving it! Still a bit cool here in Vancouver, but the bike's insured, and on the road any day that it's not raining... Looking forward to taking it on a big...
