Getting one of those awesome bikes that aren't available in NA but sold in the UK might make up for it, methinks :)

Thanks! ;)
I almost ended up with an FZ6 and I would have been quite happy with it. I was negotiating privately on a used one. The dude wouldn't let me test ride it until I had paid and had put my own insurance on. So I transferred my insurance, got the bank draft ready...(you can see where this is going)...but there was a whining in the engine on the test ride so I had to pass and then reverse the money & insurance stuff. Pain in the behind!!!

I tested a brand new FZ6 and I found the throttle to be much more intense than the Z and I actually felt safer on the Z than the FZ because of that.

You know, I actually liked wearing my hair in a mullet. Really hate the name for it, though.

These two are my helmets. And they are very visible especially at night due to their design. 8)

I've been noticing neon yellow helmets by other manufacturers than Scorpion. Boy can they put a price on those Arai helmets!

Nice! And it isn't brand new, I might find it on a discount rack!
