It was totaled by an insurance company and has a salvaged title. Replaced a TON of shit on it...all plastics, mirrors, windshield, engine covers, signals, fairings, r6 front brake system, battery,...

Long story short.....I bought a wrecked FZR 600 (I love these bikes) and rebuilt it. Few odds and ends left, but finished most of it today, and went out for a ride.....this bike is soooo fun to ride....

So you can find out how fast your bike will go if you had the nuts to pin it?

Yeah, I feel the same way. When I'm out and about, people are like "how are you"?

And I'm like, "fuck you"......like everybody is being polite, nice and shit. Fuck'em.

He was referencing a comment I made about guns. You know, cuz guns are equally as fun as doing 160 mph on a crotch rocket.

GUNS!!!!!! really make you feel tough. Real tough.

Nice bike! Lets do the indy pass loop soon!

So, I've been looking high and low for a Ducati 916. The one on craigslist in DC is perfect, but too damn far away....

Let's drool together.

I WANT that bike.

That really sucks Tip.

Good luck and hopefully they'll give you the new part with a torque wrench and some numbers. ;) (I'm terrible about stripping and breaking off bolts.) :rolleyes2
I...

SHIT!!! That sucks.

Waiting for the TR. ;)

============================================

Best thing about riding your motorcycle is, no matter how shitty your day at work was, taking a ride...

120 lb squid with 1000cc superbike. I'm sure the pads are all you'll need.

I feel you on the bmw GS bikes. Would make total sense down there.

If I stayed at a hotel, t would be gated. :wink:

All I can think about right now is burning up some twisties on my bike cruising through the Southwest.....maybe taking a left turn down the california baja. Anyone done the baja on a bike?

This video is awesome. Dude riding around the globe on an R1.

Dude, you contribute MAD stoke. You're the stoke master!!! :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:

Thanks for the stoke!

I almost shed a tear while reading your touching little story.

Maybe your sister should get one of these-

Dude, I'm sure if you offered her a couple hundred dollars to take some junk out of her garage, she'd accept it.

If anything, hopefully these links will provide some knowledge on motorcycle crash statistics and how to avoid them.
Unfortunately, the last fully comprehensive study (that I've been able to find)...

Hey phUnk, how was that motorcycle "stoke" video I sent you through PM?
If you really cared about stoke, you woulda thanked me for it, but instead have taken this opportunity to be you.

All 600cc...

So can I blame you JONGS for twisting the throttle and flooding my bike? It was a bitch to start the other day.

What's your idea of a "beginner" bike?


PNW Skier, that's a dope bike. How do you like it by now?

It's a really good "beginner" bike. It'll only do roughly 155mph, which will keep you safe while going that fast into a 30mph corner. ;)


Why in the hell were you at that end of Summits garage?...

Ask yourself a very simple question.

A beginner buys a Liter bike to start out on.

He is 50 years old.

2nd beginner buys a Liter bike to start out on.

He is 19 years old.

You still don't get it. It's clear that guy went into that corner hot and blew the turn, ended up in your sisters lane and hit her head on.

It doesn't matter what kind of bike he was on. He could...

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Personal responsibility is a bitch, ain't it?

You could blow that turn on a moped if you don't know how to ride.
It's the person, not the bike.

Do you own a crotch rocket? Didn't think so, but keep preaching about shit you know nothing...

Or better yet, learn to ride. But preach on, Papa Hop. :rolleyes:

Why Harleys don't wave.....

Dude, get an 89-99 Yamaha FZR 600.

You can get them for a good price, and they handle fucking awesome. I've got one, and LOVE it. If you ever dump it, tons of parts on Ebay etc.

Bike holds it's...

Here's a badass video to make you sweat.

Another great day on the bike today........85 degree weather, wide open mountain roads....

I love my bike.

Yall should meet us down there at the end of this month. :cool:

Very cool! Thanks for the info.

I do want to know what they do to an older guy that gets caught driving that fast. Just a big ticket? Reckless? Your dad seems hella cool. :cool:

I was referring to the 8500, but it looks like the Solo is pretty much the same detector, except it's cordless. Would that be a fair distinction? Also, do you have quite a bit of faith in the Solo...

I saw a post on a motorcycle forum somewhere, where a guy wired the screamer into his intercom system. That way, the whole group he was riding with could hear the radar/lasar alarm.

btw-BZ and...

Such a sick looking bike. Look into the d&d pipe for that bad boy. :cool: Custom pipes rule. I love mine.

Can't wait to take em to Vegas.....I've been...

In celebration of not only good4nothing getting a bike, but Below Zero in serious contemplation......here's some stoke!

...

you're right. there's a lot of different opinions on the subject, and when you throw in more factors such as skill level and what not, the opinions vary even more. would be cool if we could elaborate...

more like 60-80%. staged braking by an experienced rider on both front and rear brakes is the way to go.


now quit being lame and put up some pics of your bike phunk.

I'm jealous of the 748. Bet that thing handles awesome!!

You guys have some cheapo insurance. I tried State Farms online rate quote system, but since it sucks so bad, I won't be going with them.

Coverage through Geico will only run me $170 per year....

Soooooooo, who do you guys use for your motorcycle insurance? Geico has given me the cheapest online quote yet.....

well, what do you think 'tippies' bike is? :fm:

Man, tru dat.

If you didn't know, I live in Colorado.

Quite a few years ago, I got a ride out to Los Angeles to pick up my new bike, an FZ700. I spent some time out there riding the bike up PCH...

OK. I'm getting stoked to ride. Will be getting the bike insured and what not this week to get her legal. Temps have been in the 60's. Buzzworthy posted a pic of his new bike in another thread. Lets...
