Let me introduce myself a little

I've posted and lurked around a bit but never really introduced myself.

I'm Ken, a new rider from the suburbs of Chicago, IL. I'm 26 years old today and have had my M endorsement for about a year now.

My first bike was the '08 yamaha XT 250. It was fun to ride around but I really didn't care for the lack of power and appearance (My sister said it looked like a grasshopper ).

I traded it for the FZ6 just under a month ago and I love the difference. Having more power is amazing but I'm still getting used to the gears. They feel like they overlap a lot compared to the dual-sport.

So far, the only mod I've installed is the Motovation frame sliders.

I look forward to reading and posting more on this forum and maybe even meet up with some of you guys in the Chicago area.

I feel I must warn you though... I'm prone to asking stupid questions and will probably do so on a regular basis

I sure do!

Here I am.


One of the first pics I took of the bike.


Frame sliders added on 8/15




My photography skills aren't all that great. But I hope you enjoy them anyway
