New member welcome thread...

Welcome to the board!

You had me with "RD 400". I love my FZ1, but I've always wanted an RD. I had a chance at a mint RZ 350 once from an FZ1OA member, but it sold before I had a chance to jump on it. Then again, now that I've escaped the city life and moved to the country, The XTs sound really good too!

I got started with a 2005 FZ1 (Gen I), and then moved to the Gen II (2012) later. Both great bikes, and I wish I had kept the Gen I when I bought the Gen II... the wife disagreed with that concept...

It does sound like you have some unique experience and skills... and likely a lot of stories to tell as well. Post frequently, and post up some pics!

Used to service, test & ride an RZ 350 3ith some mods, not that it needed any!! Nothing could touch that bike up to 100 mph!! Then it was way too light to drive over 130!! Beat many 750's & 1000's off the line & up!! Always wanted 1 of those but got to ride them often!!

Hi everyone! Dan here.
I hope you all had a great weekend. Joined this forum yesterday seeking help. The bike is alive now, but I have to say, with so many members here and so much information, this is the RIGHT place to be!

Hi everyone! Another Dan here! I used to be a member of the FZ1OA forum.
This is my 2009 FZ1. I'm the original owner. I only have about 15k miles on it. I don't seem to get in enough riding time. Every year I say I'm going to ride more, but it seems like I ride less. Regardless, I absolutely love my FZ1!

Welcome, Congrats on the new bike. 1500 miles blows my mind. Please ride it. I do more than 1500 most months

Have always been jealous of those gold wheels on the gen2. The red looks sweet too. Welcome!

Welcome aboard! It's good to see somebody within a reasonable distance of me! I'm about 2 hours south of Louisville.

1500 miles on a 2012? It sounds like you found a gem! Mine is near 60K. Be sure to check the generator rotor!
