FZ6If you’re looking for one bike to perform a multitude of missions, look no further.
Take it from Cycle World* Magazine - “For a more advanced rider looking for a bike to do it all, there is no other choice.”
That's what you get for saying Laura's RS is ugly.
Sorry to hear about the crash. I dunno what to say except that some people are prone to being hit by others. My aunt and cousin used to get in accidents constantly and none were their fault. Just bad luck or whatever I guess.

To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points.
Glad you can post about your accident, sounds like it could have easily went another way. Sorry to here you had another Fizzer destroyed. Just think how much money you could be making for Yamaha, testing the structural integrity of the FZ6.

Holy shit man! Take the season off before you get killed! Or at least take out a huge life insurance policy with an AD&D rider. Glad you're ok...again.

Jesus Wave, Glad you're ok that shit sucks. They should put an accident/near accident illustrator app on here so everyone can show evactly what happened. My question is even if she didn't see you WHY was she sideways across the lanes, swear some people should never be allowed to drive. Was she on her cell phone?? I hope you have good insurance, my cat scans/xrays cost me like 2500 the last time.
I have good insurance, but trust me that I won`t spend a penny on this shit... she is obviously at fault for cutting me off.
Now, to clarify what happened, here is a photo (thanks googlemap) of where it happened:
She came out of the parking lot to the right (red line), then stopped in the far right lane first (see my first post), where I marked a "+" in green... then she continued to the red "X" where the accident happened, i.e. in my lane, the far left one (three lanes total on that side of the street).
What she wanted to do was follow the yellow line to get on the opposite side of the street, to go the opposite direction... I hope that clarifies.
You might want to take a break from the bikes......you have survived 3 accidents most people would have died from!!!! You have angels looking out for you......
Good point.
I might, or I may not I figure, I`ll reach my quota at some point.......
Mr. Crash... If I meet you, am gonna beat your ass up for destroying another piece of art ... ... damn dude ... sucks to hear this ... hope u get it up and running soon... or get the speed triple .. hell get the FZ1/Z1000.
Atleast in this case it was not your fault. Hope you get a hefty payment from the lady's insurance ..
You may reconsider taking the 848 as it is as hell as uncomfortable it can get on a sportsbike.
I am really not in love with the FZ1 or Z1000 , and read awesome reviews on the speed triple... the reason why I am considering the duc is because my wife is now strongly (to say the least) asking that I stop motorcycling.. so I told her I will consider not commuting on the bike... but I still want to ride on weekends and such, and the duc would be great for canyon carving.
I can't believe the crap that keeps happening to you. I am glad you are relatively ok. I would get the daytona 675 in all black an track it.
I have to ask you how you feel after this last accident regarding riding with young kids at home. After we just had my son I have had a really hard time getting on the bike. I still ride almost everyday now, but for the first month since he was born I drove my truck almost everyday. With the traffic around me, I know that one day I will get cut off too. Is this something that has gone through your mind after all this?

damn, Wavex, sorry to hear about you and your bike.
You'll get your break while waiting on the ladies insurance. I do agree though, some people should NEVER be allowed behind the wheel of a car. " I looked two or three times" righhhhhtttt.

some people have feelings that get hurt easily. I simply say it may be a case of sandivaginitis.....go to the doctor. It sounds like sound paper when you walk.
Awesome Illustration, that actually did help a bunch I was mostly confused shitless why she would be sideways. Cause when I take a left across 4 lanes of traffic I don't poke n stop I check then fucking get across as to not get boradsided. Apparently she enjoys getting closeups of extremely scarred/pissed off motorcyclists. Hope she got a good picture
