I started on a 250cc and then moved up to the FZ6, and I'm glad I did. I don't think I'd be riding right now if I started on the FZ6 right from the start, I'd be too scared.

Insurance on a 125 is next to nothing. I can't remember exactly, but it's well under $400 a year using St...

What Lion Lady said has a lot of merit. I was wondering about some of those quotes. They seems high. I use State Farm for everything (home, 2 autos, 2 bikes, life insurance for me and my wife).

Did they have hemis? They would be worth a mint now, wouldn't they?

I regret trading in my first bike. I wish I could ride both my old and new bikes.

And this is exactly why I visit this forum. I may not post lots, but I sure read lots.
