I loved my R6 and miss it already. IMO, Yamaha makes the best sportbikes around.

Well, the time is almost coming. I usually register/insure mine at the end of March, so I'm getting pretty excited. I'm in the market for a new helmet and jacket, pretty sure I've found the jacket, but having some trouble in the helmet department. Any of you guys have any spots online that you would recommend?

Well so much for holding me over until the Harley or Big Dog. I sold the Mean Streak towards the end of last year because the wife and I had a kid on the way. I did manage to still get a toy, as we bought a brand new fishing boat.
A boat will never give me the same feeling of a cycle, but the family should have fun on it.

Decided to get mine out of the garage today and ready to ride for tomorrow. Gave it a quick wash and started to think I might wanna get some new plastics. There's a little scratch on the left side that just bugs the shit out of me, and I've also been thinking of playing around with the color scheme. I've searched just about everywhere, ebay, craigslist, yamaha, and just general google searches, but these things are so damn expensive. Can't justify it, financially, getting new fairings. Thought it couldn't hurt to see, by some small chance in hell, if anyone here knows of a legit place to find fairings at reasonable prices?

Going to get my first full season under my belt this year, am gearing up now. Started riding August of last.

Bought some khaki riding pants, we'll see if those work out well enough for work wear. Also got a fastpass(toll booth) holder and bike's going in for a tuneup next week. Looking for a GPS for bikes(mount, visible in sun, gloves work on screen), damn things are twice as expensive as a standard one though.

2011 I think I'm upping to a R1 or CBR1000.

Well... several years later.. approaching 45 years old and since my car is paid off, I talked the wife into letting me get a new 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 300 KRT Edition motorcycle.

I'm picking it up next weekend. It's the smallest cc bike I've ever purchased, but sits upright more so than a 600 and still has that sportbike look I've always loved. Plus, they took around $1200 off with all the discounts.

We live out in the country, so there is plenty of open farm road to ride.
