So as some of you know, I attended a FJR rally in Wytheville, VA this weekend. The weather was great and the roads were amazing, but we were struck by a great tragedy. We had a rider crash and was killed. This thread is not to discuss the cause of the crash, but rather to remind people to reflect on how great we have it. Make the best out of your riding trips and enjoy them as much as you can. You never know when it could be your last.

Bought off original 65 year old owner. Near mint shape. Always synthetic oil. Needs nothing. 13k miles $3k Figured I'd post it up rather than store it.

It's probably worth mentioning that the rider was 78 or 79 years old,which leads many people to question a possible health issue.He was a very seasoned and respected rider and member of the FJR community.I just talked to someone that was at the accident scene shortly after the crash.From what he said it was an easy turn,like a 35 mph suggested turn after a long straight away...something Petey would have no problem with. Thankfully he went quick,probably instantaneously. RIP Petey,the FJR community has lost another one of it's long time members that gave it its soul.

That man was considered by the best riders in the FJR community to be a highly skilled and disciplined rider, one of the best. Knowing what I know about him, I'm inclined to believed the medical problem theory. He was also an extraordinarily nice guy.

Seriously, look at @Jester_'s R6. It goes fast.

Tour de Hock, Act Two, with a out take at the end. Also had to edit the first one for Jacobs protection. Edited Act One.

My R6 is for sale if interested.

Pretty sure I just got put on a watch-list while looking up what a trigger crank is...

Gonezo!!

The good news is we're rolling into prime buying season and you've got all winter to beef up whatever you decide to buy.

Just watch out for the coolaid drinkers that think the only track bike to have is the R6. They all take setup time to get them where you want them. If you go the zx6r route hit me up and I'll save you the headache of trial and error on setup.

I don't know man, you'll have a blast with any of them. I'd set a price point and watch for whichever pops up in a condition you like. It's a track bike and you're not racing (yet) so I'd get anything that allows you to get on the track as much as you can.

A shade more conservative would be my preference. Not retard right wing....just a C Hair or two to the right.
