Hello everyone. Early 30s male here. I am from Birmingham, Alabama and I commute and ride for pleasure on a 2012 FZ6R. I bought it brand new a few years back and it is my first and only bike at the moment. In fact, my ride home from the dealership was the first time I ever even sat on a motorcycle! Don't worry, I cringe about that now too but I am happy to report that I have over 20,000 miles under my belt and have never dropped my bike or hit anything.
I am hoping to get a little inspiration from this forum on what bike to purchase next and also maintenance and mod advice for my FZ6R. I am recently divorced and am looking to add another bike to my stable very soon as a little "going away present" to myself. I will probably do a whole lot more searching and reading rather than posting while I am here but I will be glad to respond to any questions/comments/critiques if you have any. Hit me up if you live close or if you're planning to visit Birmingham. I am always up for a ride anytime of the year.
Current changes/mods:
Removed sissy bar
LED headlight
LED front signals
Motodynamic integrated tail light/fender delete
RAM mount cell phone holder (convenient with my Sena 10c)
Things I love about riding:
Sense of freedom
Going fast
Meeting other riders and talking shop/drooling over their bikes
Riding at night with a great playlist playing on the Sena
Messing with kids in their stock Mustangs and Camaros
Anonymously flirting with babes in traffic behind my tinted windscreen
Things I hate about riding:
People in traffic on their f#@*ing cellphones!
Slow traffic in the left lane
Super hot days
Super cold days
The often fast changing Alabama weather
Bugs
Kids squidding on their banged up litre bikes trying to show out for me
Getting profiled as a punk kid trying to cause trouble on my sport bike
*attached pic is pre-motodynamic rear end and she's a little dirty but it's really the best pic I have at the moment*
