jreese86 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, I just now found a link to this forum and I wanted to sign up. I live in Cuyahoga Falls right near State 8. I started riding last season on a 2007 GS500F. Over the winter I bought a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 so that the girlfriend had something comfy to ride on. I sold my GS500F a few weekends ago and went to Honda East in Toledo and walked out with a brand new leftover 2008 Yamaha FZ6 for a ridiculously low price. Rode about 160 miles back in 45 degree weather and put another 20 or so on it Sunday. I rode it to work this morning and all my coworkers looked at me like I was crazy (it was about 38 degrees at 7am this morning). I'm loving the bike so far, and I haven't even taken it over 8k rpm. It's so comfortable and I'm pretty sure I can turn it into a two-up sport-tourer with a small amount of money. I'll probably sell my XJ750 mid summer if so.Unfortunately I don't really have any friends that ride, so the only time I get to ride with people is when my Dad comes in from out of town. I would love to do some group rides and meet some new people. I'm pretty excited that I found this site!Here's some pics!The moment I've been waiting for: Edited March 16, 2009 by jreese86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony07R6 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Welcome. Nice Yamaha! I'm in the same boat as you, none of my friends ride either, so I mainly just ride by myself. I may head over to State 8 to look around after work today, its been a year or two since I've checked things out over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreese86 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Got a nice ride in today. Left work 2 hours early and rode for about 3 before going to class. This thing is so comfy, the only thing that was a tad sore was my butt from the stock seat. Gonna order a corbin in a few weeks.I've average 85 miles a day since I got this bike on Saturday =) Edited March 18, 2009 by jreese86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
