Wow, surprising to say the least but definitely some nice bikes there! And as long as you stick around here I'm happy.

At least we still have the Tacoma bond! :thumbup:

Cant wait to see pics with the new 2Bros exhaust! :rockon:

Thanks again all! :D This is a really amazing bike and I've got to get a lot of miles on her quickly to get beyond the breakin. Learn to handle her proper!

Ok Ladies! Steph asked me the same as well... Said she should join up as MrsFZ6RinNH, so last night she says to me "I should join now, huh? I could be MrsFZ6RinNH!" I was wondering to myself if she'd been contacted by Steph! The answer is yes, I'll get her on here soon. Maybe a bit of pressure tonight. :D

I'll still be here AJ. Promise! I'm also at the sister site now with the same name and Dennis made me a Super there too. :thumbup:

I can guarantee that I'll NOT be letting go of my Taco! I cannot possibly upgrade that one! It's already there! ;)

Congratulations on the new bike Eric! I love the FZ1s. I wanted to get the black one when I was looking for a new bike last year but got talked out of it by the sales manager. I just loved the gold front shocks.

Anyways, glad that you stayed with the Faster Blue even on the FZ1! I see that you have golden wheels? Does that come standard with the cobalt blue? Sweet looking bike.

Thank Manas! The wheel color is a bit hard to describe... they are not gold, they are not blue and I cannot find the actual color that they are thus hard to describe. Sort of a cross between gold and gunmetal? Best I can do! :D

The fact that it came in the same color as the '08 FZ6 made this so easy! No worries about new matching gear. :rockon: They had the Raven/Charcoal one beside it but I never liked those bright gold forks. VERY happy they did Black forks on the Cobalt Blue.

Congratulations on the new bike Eric, it looks real nice, I would love a FZ1 but the FZ6 is so much cheaper and is great for the commute :thumbup:
shame you got rid of the FZ6 but as long as you'll be still hanging around here thats great by me :thumbup: I've had plenty of great info from you over the years and it would be a big shame if you left us. Congrats to your wife on her new bike too. :cheer:

Thanks Martin and Eric!

Martin, the bike is actually a great commuter and only because the insurance for me wasn't a drastic change did I go through with the deal. It would have been a show stopper if the rates would have jumped significantly. Back to the commute... it's a bit heavier than the FZ6 but it is just a nimble and flickable in the corners as the 6 too. I'm shaving some weight off the bike with a few mods so I'll be darned close to the FZ6 weight soon.

I would have still gotten her the FZ6R even if I didn't get the FZ1 too.

Eric, I will definitely be seeing you soon. I need some seat time and a riding buddy! We need to round up a few more and take a tour! Michele seems to be a natural on the R and she loves it right up until she has to stop and try to move the bike backwards anyway! We're looking to remedy that though. ;)

I can not wait! You both have to come up and try the RTE 132/175 excursion with me should you get the chance. I promise you'll enjoy it whether we burn it or just cruise. I don't know why, but I am just picturing both of you with that crazy :Flash: ear to ear grin under your helmets every time you head out.
Did Michele's new lid match the bike??

Regards, Eric

A new route? Sweet!!! Can you send it to me in Google maps? I'll put it in the GPS. You are picturing correctly! :D Cannot stop so it's a good thing we wear full faced helmets... bug picking with a tooth pick sucks! :rof:

It sort of does but they had NOTHING that fit her that was black and yellow of any design. This was a neutral that works on almost any ride for her. I have to get her new jackets though... Yellow Jackets! :D

We've got some time this coming weekend, likely Sunday? Maybe we can get Jody and Rob to come but I think Rob has a track weekend.

It does look awesome! If only it were in black though. ;)

So, Irish, how much are the replacement pegs and/or inserts again? :D

Yamaha went on the cheap with the pillion pegs... solid aluminum but not the best looking ones... and what's with the silver brackets on an almost all black bike? Jeez! Powder coating.... here I come!
