Nice bike, but I know I'd die within 4 minutes of hopping on.

No problem, there are current 3 roadside eulogies to motorcyclists within 5 minutes of driving from my house. It's not the motorcycles that are dangerous its the other drivers.

Back protector, helmet, leathers, and ride in light traffic areas and it's all good.

Anyone riding a bike owes it to themselves to watch the following video, not for the faint of heart....you have been warned.

Not a liter, it's a 750. You 12'ed your buddies bike? lol that sucks.

Yep! Although, i need to get full leather's, just have the jacket.

Ok man, we get the "point". I have seen plenty of graphic pictures/videos. I'm not sure what your motive is here, but you are getting "annoying".

Anyway bro, I made this thread to let others know what I ride,. Not for people to make "repeated" posts about how bikes are dangerous and could kill you.

I know that, knew that before I ever threw a leg over.... So please, give it a rest and save the "threadcrapping".

Anyway guys, thanks for looking!

lol, that pic was taken when I first took delivery, they are not that big. Although, I still have "small" strips. Not sure if they will ever come off on the street. I'd save it for the track.

I can't wait to get my bike out on the track. I did a session last season and I'm hooked. Nothing like almost topping the bike out legally on the front straight.

I'm actually thinking about selling my CBR and picking up 2 GSXRs. A 600 for a dedicated track bike and a 1000 and fightering it. The look has just been growing on me this past winter:



Not necessarily this much detail, but the concept.

Cool! Buy a used 600rr for the track, and a speed triple for the street. Hooligan streetfighter!

But yeah, I despertly need to get on track, need to get some leather's first....
