What Do You Ride?
 
The title says it all. Basically I am just curious to see who rides what.

I will go first. Currently I ride a 2006 GSX-R 600 gray on black. the bike has been laid down 3 times in 4 years (2 of which were not by me).

I used to ride a 2006 BMW K1200R...I sold it in April and bought my Z in May.

Started off a baby Ninja 250EX in 2006 and still managed to break my collarbone from a highside wreck.

Didn't stop me from riding since I immediately went out and bought a 2007 ZX-6R. However, I sold it not too long ago since I'll be separating from the military soon and riding in Oklahoma and riding in Los Angeles is whole different ball game.

I don't have it anymore, but this was me riding my 2003 R6 at the track a few years ago.

I guess I'm the only Harley guy so far. I have a heavily modded 06 Ultra Classic.

Used to have one of these when I lived in the UK
(no pics of mine sorry, digital cameras were a bit pricey back then, so only normal photos exist and they are all still in my parents loft)

I love customization, regardless of what it is on. This Harley is a great example of detailed paint work IMO.

You have great posture as well.

How long have the two of you been tracking your Yamahas?

Well I never raced in a competitive sense, I just did a lot of different track days and classes. The R6 was my 7th bike and I had never had an accident. As I got older I started to feel like my clock was ticking and it was a matter of time before some cager killed me or a deer jumped in front of me on my drive home. I also got married and my wife works as a speech/language therapist and had quite a few patients who were riding motorcycles and had terrible accidents. She never asked me or insiuated that I sell the bike, but I just felt it was the right time to do something else. That is how I regularly end up with expensive 300+ hp cars!

Cjanik 06-07-2009 11:38 PM

I've been racing my bike for only 1 year before I gave it up and sold it. as mentioned above, Got married, have a kid on the way, dont want to risk anything. I know for some people it may be stupid, but I have other hobbies that I can keep me busy with so im good with it.

That picture i posted has terrible body positioning. It was one of the first few track days I practiced in. My head is on the wrong half of the bike for that turn.

I was instructed to lean my head inwards as if I'm going to kiss my imaginary mirror(since it's removed for the track.)

Great info :tup: and a great suggestion for anyone who is starting out. I have been riding on and off for three years but I never really got as involved as a majority of you until recently :happydance:.

Just a heads up for anyone who is interested. We recently received a few HyperRev books for the Yamaha RX, Kawasaki ZX-XR, Ducati 1098/99X/74X, and Suzuki GSX-R.

If anything these books make great reading material. We also have the ability to acquire any and all parts in these 150+ paged books.

Please PM if interested.
