Welcome to the forum, I have ridden a couple of ZX6Rs over the years, cracking bikes.
Any chance of posting a picture of your bike? What else have you ridden in the past?
In the meantime this link will help you investigate the site a bit deeper

previous bike was a chinese copy 125 about 3 years ago (piece of crap) every time i went out i played a game where i would guess what was going to drop off next.only major scary moment was when the seat fell off (belive it or not its true). passed my test and fell in love with a 98 zx6r at my local shop,didnt go in looking for her but i just had to have it and here i am 3 years on.many people told me not to get sportsbike for my first big bike but my theory is it will only go as quick as i make it
.so thats it really a very brief biking history.ill post a pic asap dont have any on the puta at the mo.Looks a good example. Champs has just been to France on his slightly later model

(That was me)
Hi Damo, as I said on the phone this afternoon, and we agreed, it would good idea to meet up, so I’ve resurrected my suggestion for the route for the 5th Anniversary ride out. My former post said: As we are spread far and wide, it is difficult to come up with any suggestions that would satisfy everybody, so may I put my suggestion forward…. yes it is Wales and mainly North Wales at that, so as good as everyone has to travel to get there, and with a finishing point in Mid Wales everyone has to travel to get back! My suggestion is as follows:
Start Point…. The Ponderosa Cafe at Horseshoe Pass. Thats 37 miles from Liverpool and 81 miles from Birmingham.
Finish point …. McDonalds at Newtown, Powys. Which is 79 miles from Liverpool and 71 miles from Birmingham.Note: There are no re-fuelling facilities at the Horseshoe pass
The route between the 2 points being 105 miles of A roads with some absolutely amazing scenery is as follows:
From The Horseshoe Pass head North along the A542 to the roundabout (trip 3) turn left onto the A5104.
Travel from that island down the twisty roads to the A5 (trip 12) where you turn right.
Approaching Betws y Coed turn off the A5 sharp left onto the A470 (trip 33).
From that turn continue along the A470 through dramatic wide open scenery through the Snowdonia National Park into Blaenauu Ffestiniog where you drop down through possibly the most exploited landscape in the country (trip 44) where you turn left through the town and down into Ffestiniog (trip 47).
At Ffestiniog turn sharp left still on the A470, from that point you continue along the A470 turning left through Trawsfynydd along what is possibly one of the straightist bits of road around these parts again with a dramatic mountainous scene to the right and along the A470 by-passing Dolgellau where you rise up before dramatically dropping down Dinas Mawddwy.
At an island turn right (trip 76) continuing along the A470 towards Cemmaes Road, where you turn left (trip 82)through Carno and Caersws where you turn left (trip 100) towards Newtown along the A489 where you arrive at the destination (trip 105).Now these roads maybe well-trodden by some, like myself, but unknown by many. There are many other routes around this area but taking those would no doubt be difficult to keep a bunch of riders together.
As you said, for yourself its something like 95 miles to the Ponderosa Cafe, for me its about 80 miles, the return home would be slightly more for you than me. Suggestion for a date, as agreed the first dry Sunday. SO IF ANYONE ELSE WISHES TO JOIN THE MORE THE MERRIER, will put a fresh post up when that dry Sunday is forecast!
yeah definatly count me in for this just had a look at the route it looks great.just keep our fingers crossed that we havnt seen the last of the sun.
as for the date any is good except sep 7th (party the day before and cant see me being fit to ride)
. i ride a zx6r g2 and love it.get out whenever i get the chance which unfortunatly isnt often enough 
. hope to meet some of you in the none too distan future.
