Im going up there right now I will post more pics later..

Insurance is only like 400 a year for me and thats with 2 tickets...

**1MileCrash** · 04-23-2008, 06:05 PM

looks like a nice price with the aftermarket gear on it and never been dropped.

the shitstorm refers to others that have asked about bikes and there are some very differing views on biking on here.

i HATE to hear stories like this, people in cars are ssooo oblivious to everything going on around them because they figure they are in a car, they're safe. sorry to hear about your accident, and ure right that the performance of a car doesnt compare to the performance of a bike, now i feel like the only time i get a thrill in the TA is when i have the ttops off, even then im wishing i were on a bike.

thats the cutest thing ever, i always thought the same thing about my dad when he was riding and i was behind him in the truck

**John_stout** · 04-24-2008, 12:00 PM

I was ridin back had the urge to just rip it open and I did I didnt downshift or any thing just got on it for like 3 sec. omg that shit was amazing in 6th at about 55 got up to about 75 but didnt wanna go to fast because of the rain...

I drove that shit to work today people always like well I will come to your funeral..

Pisses me off.

**John_stout** · 04-24-2008, 12:03 PM

Yea she cept fashin her brights if I was going to fast lol..

MY damn bike im going to go fast..

Didnt buy it to set in a garage all day..
It sounds so good I will make a video clip of it probley tonight and let you guys hear it...

**knappbunch** · 04-24-2008, 12:09 PM

yea I hate it because now when people ask me what happened to my leg and I tell them tey start right in on the motorcycles are dangerous crap. bull. people who eat, text, talk on the phone, read books or read newspapers instead of driving are the deadly ones and they will probably be first to blame bikes and stupid street stunters that stunt in traffic. don't get me wrong nothing better than a mile long wheelie at 120 mph but right place right time.

**John_stout** · 04-24-2008, 12:19 PM

Yea..

Thats why I have to buy not want to have to buy a white jacket red helmet so people can see me alot better wifes orders lol...

Much rather have a black bike but im happy with this one...
