How long have you owned your FZ6?
I had it for two years before trading it in for my R1

What other modes of transport do you have?

If you could have any bike what would it be?
I have it already,but to keep this interesting I wish I still had every bike I've ever owned. that would be cool.

What are your hobbies apart from the bike?
flying RC airplanes and rebuilding my 1987 jeep comanche project truck.

What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?
for me it's not really one place, I did a western pacific cruise "wespac" in the navy. while some of the countries had there strong points, scenery ect. it made me more thankful and realize how lucky I am to be an american.

If you could redesign any household (including garage) appliance what would it be and why?
the microwave, I would make the popcorn button actually pop all the popcorn in the bag without burning it.

Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?
the cresent socket, I've never seen one but I'm sure they exist. think about it one socket fits all.

If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?
speed limits

If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?
I would be the designated driver so everyone could cut loose

Snow or beach?
beach I hate the cold

Windows or Mac?
windows

F1 or NASCAR?
neither I'm not much into watching auto racing

Which track or album rocks your boat?
tough one it really depends on my mood. Guns-n-Roses appetite for destruction is always good.

What is your favourite film?
Army of Darkness or the Princess Bride

Meat or Veg?
MEAT!!! I'll take a ribeye anytime

What is your favourite beverage?
Sprite or water

And finally, your number one rule in life?

Great interview Danny!

I'll need a DD at the party for sure!!!

**Hellgate** · 07-18-2008, 08:43 AM

When you get that adjustable socket figured out let me know, I'll take at least two!

While you're at it, how about an adjustable allen key? All the way from 1.5mm up to 12mm would be just dandy.

Gotta love that R1! Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up.
