I've been browsing on here for a while and finally decided to sign up.
I'm Scott, 28, and I live in southern Minnesota. I've got the itch to ride, this snow can go away!
I bought my very first motorcycle, a silver 03 R6 almost exactly a year ago. It was dropped and I got it for a great price with 24000 miles on it, so I learned on it. I fixed some things, learned about it, dropped it lightly myself on the same side, picked myself up and fell in love with riding. I must have done a pretty good job of fixing it up(you can polish a turd) because last August my buddy gave me a deal on it I couldn't refuse. I made a good chunk of change off it and I put over 3000 miles on it over the short time I had it.
Anyways, I was without a bike for a whole 2 days and my coworker approached me asking if I sold my R6. I was in love with his R1 he bought brand new in 04, he says he was on a waiting list for the liquid silver. He offered it up to me and jumped on the deal. Two days later I rode home on a bone stock silver 04 R1 with 11500 miles.
I got a little bit of riding done before it had to go away for winter. It was too quiet for me so within the first week I had it I already the A & R race baffles in it.
While being parked I've added a Custom led Blaster X taillight, Proton flushmounts, Danmoto catless y pipe, and I'm waiting on the A & R 4300 k hid kit as well as some blaze purple PlastiDip which I am going to try on my wheels for fun when it gets warmer. I'll probably sooner than later get a Power Commander.
Anyhow, I love this thing, the look, the sound, all of it. It beats out the R6 in all categories, in my mind. You probably won't see me post much as I tend to sit and just read, so I hope to learn more about this machine.
