I took the advanced rider course today. Met a nice group of riders and instructors. All of us except one were over 40 years old so it was a very nice, mature enviroment. I did fairly well in all the skill tests but it reminded me of all the bad habits and forgotten/missing riding techniques I had. But thanks to my bike I was able to make the adjustments needed with ease making me look good at all times. Almost everybody fell in love with my bike and kept asking me questions about it. Long story short; today once again I was able to appreciate how good the FZ6R really is and that I made the right decision buying it.
