A bit of introduction - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

castor · 08-12-2008, 06:02 AM

Hello everybody.

My name is Djordje in my native language which is pretty much similar to George in English. I'm from Yugoslavia (since I was born in Croatia and now living in Serbia) and (tomorrow I'll be) 31 years old.

Last year, on June 26th, I have bought my first motorcycle, and if you cannot guess which, I'll help you - Yamaha FZ6, naked, MFY 2005. Bike had 4022 km when I bought it, and now it has some 300 under 17k km... All those kilometers have been ridden throught all seasons, including winter.

I have managed to fell of during my trip to Croatia, last year, when I had only 1500+ km under my behind.

Nothing serious, but enough to teach me a lesson I needed, obviously.

Here are some pics of my ride (there is a gallery behind the link):

I'm quite happy and satisfied with my bike. It fits me perfectly and I don't need stronger, quicker or "better" in any way bike. The relationship we have I might caracterize as symbiosis. I take care of it and it takes care of me... Recently I gave it new set of tires - Michelin Pilot Road 2. And we're very happy about those. Both of us.

Before this riding season started, I wanted to sell this bike to buy new one, the S2 model, midnight black, 'cause it ripped the heart out of me when i saw it (I'm a "bit" weak on black). But, that didn't happen - I spent the money on buying some gear (BMW Rally 2 Pro, which in the last ride of 825 km in 3 days with rain all the time, has proven worth of the money given) and decided to stay put.

Now I'm planning to save the money for Two Bross exhaust and to pray to Gods for two things: the first is to get the money on time, and the second is to be able to use the group buy (Two Brothers Group Buy.) that Admin has organized...

Well, that's it for now. If you want some more info - ask... I'll be glad to answer...

Kind regards and good roads to all of you...

Djole
