My new 2005!! - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

**Sawblade** · 06-20-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm finally home, and I finished all the paperwork. Maintenance record was clean, and the everything looks in perfect condition other than the paint looks like it's never been waxed before, but nothing a buffer can't fix. I've got a rough gravel driveway, so when I was getting the bike off my trailer, everything was going fine until I was all the way off the ramp and the ground shifted under the front wheel. It did lay down, but very slowly because I caught it and slid backwards, so no damage. I still haven't ridden more than a mile yet because of too much other stuff planned for today, but the little I did was great.

Congrats on the great looking bike!

Good job of getting "The Drop" out of the way early. May it be the last time it lays down.

Have fun!
