My birthday present..(to myself)

[1slowdsm]

It makes me wanna learn how to ride a bike now! I had planned on taking some classes last summer, but never got around to it. Plus, I only know like one guy who's got a bike. Seems like us DSMers are turning over to Bikes!...hahaha

I would match the pirelli that you will have on the back. They are some of the best out right now. The bridgestone BT014's are a good bang for the buck too.

[MATCHBX]

I was looking on Bob's website and they didn't mention anything about Pirelli's on there. Can they order those?

The MN written test is very easy, I got my license in Wa many years ago, when I came here I took the written without any studying and passed with no issues at all. Not too tough. As soon as Chris gets the title for that GPZ750T I am after it. I miss riding, too much fun, not much compares to it.

Congrats again on the bike Erik, glad the guy accepted the offer. Should make for a fun summer!

[JET]

I dunno. Their michelin pilot sports are a decent price, as are the bridgestone BT014's. Either would be fine for you right now, with the bridgestone probably lasting a bit longer, but still a good tire. The michelin will offer a little better performance. The one thing might be with the profile of the tires. All brands have a little different profile, that is why most people stick with the same brand front to rear.

I would order one from chaparral or something and have someone put it on.

[Kracka]

Just like in cars, for proper handling (and safety) you watch matching tires front and rear.

[MATCHBX]

I was thinking about going with new front and rear tires. If I can find the matching front tire, then I'll get it. But otherwise I think at this time I might just get both new and save the other one for a spare.

[JET]

My bike comes with the BT014's, they stuck really good for me and are supposed to wear decent. Not to mention they are cheaper than Michelins.

[MATCHBX]

That's probably what I'll look at.

IIIIIITTTTTTTTT'''''''''''SSSSSSS HHHHHHEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's sitting in the garage. I am so happy now!!!! I just have to wash it up. And get tires on it.

[JET]

w00t!! Get that thing ready for this weekend! It is supposed to be nice!!

[A//// Guy]

More PiCs!!

[MATCHBX]

As soon as I get my camera charged up I will have more pics.

I should be able to get it ready. I have to replace the lower ball joint on Terina's car before I can do any work on the bike. We have the part and I'll probably be working on it tomorrow nite.

I don't know exactly how much I'll be able to do this weekend. Saturday I have to go up and check roads for Headwaters. Sunday I should have some time to ride though.

I just read thru the owners manual and went down to the garage to get aquainted with it. I even strapped the helmet to it so they could get to know each other before I go out to ride. That way they have a relationship built up before we go out.

[MATCHBX]

Here's some pics of my bike.

It's a little dirty yet from it's trip home last nite.

[Nash]

I really need to get one!

[A//// Guy]

Tiny pictures That is a really nice looking bike! Its very aggressive looking.

[MATCHBX]

I like the air scoop under the headlights. Now I just have a few things to do to it and it is ready for some good road trips.

[Kracka]

Lookin' good!

A kid who works with me got the same bike a week ago. His was an 01 also. His needed about 700 in work and he got it for 1500. I think it had some scratches on it though.

I am DYING to get my r6. I even like the gsx'rs, but my dream bike is my blue r6. I wonder what insurance for a 19 yr old would be? I would prolly turbo it someday too..lol. Anyway, My rents would KILL me for getting a bike, and I still live at home( it's free, and no one else to live with) so I gotta obide them..for now.
