I was just wondering how many riders on this forum. I might be a little crazy, but I just picked up this GSXR 750.

Posted by SydeWayzSix (Member # 2222) on :

I ride! Nice bike. I'm currently trying to trade my bike for a Mustang, but if I dont get a good offer, I'm gonna keep her. Riding a bike is a full 10 on the adrenaline scale...lets ride once this weather calms down [Frown]

Rubber side DOWN [burnout]

You guys must ahve seen my posts already, but here she is AGAIN..any trades [Wink]

No, I wish it was. It belongs to the guy I bought the bike from. He is a Ford lover also. It is a GT350 clone with a few upgrades, like he's running a T5.

I'd like to see more pictures of that fastback behind your new bike.

nice bikes guys! I love that Duc Venomized93 [worship]

i've been trying to trade my bike for a Foxbody, but I went for a nice ride today and don't think I want to get rid of it anymore [Big Grin]

With a bike, you can go places you would never think about going when in a car [burnout]

bikes are the shiznit [patriot]

Thanks! Ducatis are sick. Just a little more to maintain, but not drastically. They're like COBRAS you dont see them all the time. Here is another few pics.

I ride SAFELY (LOL). Honestly, I'm not even close to leaning as far as your pic. I really want to hit the track sometime next year. Probably want to do the TRACK schooling that goes to Infenion twice a year. You can rent their bikes for 565 + (the class).

That pic right there. Is the day after I had my oil cap removed (I forgot to put it on). I rode off from my house and about a mile down the road Oil splattered inside the fairing and along the rear tire. I cleaned it all up and went riding on Skaggs Rd in Healdsburg the following day (pictured above). I was pretty scared to ride that day. People online told me to replace the tire. The guy at CYCLEGEAR to use some CONTACT cleaner and rub hard as hell. You can kind of tell by the last pic. If you look at the exhaust pipes burnt oil caked on the pipes. But look at the pictures above it.

But I will be the first to tell you I dont lean hard. But lean safely for me. I just got my bike in JUNE. [Big Grin]

Ducs are nice, i still prefer the cheaper jap bikes. Thats me on my Uncles 748R and my wife on the 916. Im hoping to use the 748R this Monday at Infineon for the Superbike school, my uncle needs to try out his new 999S with the race package [Big Grin]

1991 CHP...how fast were you going on that spill shown in your sig link? I always wanted to learn to knee drag, or atleast get close to it, but whats the "right" way to do it? I always chicken out when I start to lean pretty low on turns and end-up almost missing the turn [Frown]

That's the one I was talking about [patriot]

. I want to go to that next year. Seems like a really helpful class. They also rent their KAWA 636 bikes, which is cool. Let me know how it goes and what they teach.

Posted by mustanggt5091 (Member # 444) on :

With my mother inlaws passing this week I dont think I will be able to go. My uncle is and I will let you know what I found out. Either way I hope the weather is good so I can at least take one of the bikes out for a quick ride.

you mean 17,500 !!!! [Eek!]

Nice bikes fellas! I'm ready for some riding. I don't think I will be seeing any track time with it. My wife isn't very happy bout me getting it [Eek!]

Plus, I got the bike from the original owner(a guy I know) and it has never been raced or down. The bike is in perfect shape.

Not sure to be honest, I think around 65/75 around turn 11 at T-HILL. The best way to learn, IMO, is to come out to the track, and follow someone around for a few sessions, or better yet the whole day. Get ready for next year, and come on out. [/QUOTE]

Dito takes nice pics! Turn 11 is very challenging, I have scuffs on my hood from a Porsche Carerra2 loosing it and driving thru 12-13.

Posted by 1991CHP (Member # 5097) on :

WILDTHANG, what better place for you to ride then T-HILL??? Your wife, kids and friends can come out for the day, and if yah wreck, your on a track, and hopefully walk away with minor damage to your bike. I don't even ride on the street any more, too CRAZY, way safer on the track. [burnout]
