oh yes i would have been riding the next day if could have. I have since done 2 track days and i have to ride bikes everyday for work, one of the best thing about working on bikes is the test ride, i would not expect to put one of my customers on a bike i did not feel 100% about riding myself legalkid86 what have u been in that was exactly worse? I mean u either love and cant live without it or its just not for you, i will be riding until i am dead. Its just to much fun, riding is my anti-drug I dont know what its like 2 be a bird, but dragging an elbow at 160 (on a track of course) while another bike is close enough to feel its exhaust pipe on your boot is as close as i think one can get.

The 40 year old virgin is a classic. "dont be a ni99er, be my ni99a."

nice bike looks fun to ride, sport bikes r my life, but i have always loved the straight back cafe style bikes to

145 hp stock from a 97 750? sounds a bit optimistic i dynoed a 97 750 non California model about 3 months back with after-market carbs that were dialed in correctly and it made 127hp at the wheels and u figure a chain drive system is about 85-92% effective so it was making maybe 137 at the crank and this was on a dyno jet 250i with winPEP 7. I love the 750s i just have come across a lot of carb problems with these bikes, but nothing an hour and some dyno runs cant fix.

everyone matters to me!!! how is life treating u Mr. Lew?

Yes it was my fault. I was doing something I should not have been, and there was an obstruction in the road (mattress yes a mattress!!!) and if i would have been riding the right way i would have been able to avoid it. But hey thats the risk of riding. but here r a few pix from it the big "dot" on my elbow is what it looks like when loose black asphalt in embedded in the skin, and i have other pix to graphic. But what u dont see is that on my butt my jeans and underwear were also embedded in the skin and had to be pulled out fiber by fiber and one of the rivets on the back of my jeans melted to my skin and had 2 be ripped off too. ride safe

In his defense i agree with you, but he did not say get a 600cc SPORT bike u could get a 650 ninjaR or a gs500f or a 750 nighthawk those would all be a some what more acceptable starter bike would u not agree? but yes DO NOT get a 600cc sport bike to start!!!!!
But gear is a big deal too as stated i went once went down the freeway at 60 MPH+ without leathers on, i had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on my back and needed a skin graph and was in a medically induced coma for 3 days all bcuz i thought it was too hot to wear my leathers that night. if i was in the right gear i would have walked away fine. I still have huge scars and just a little FF (fun fact) for you, if u think oh i wont be going fast or far, so no leathers, 1st degree burns hurt more then 3rd, i found out that 3rd degree kills the nerve endings 1st degree does not, and when they clean out your open wounds with a brillo pad u will wish u had no nerve ending at all.

wow just saw the guy that said start on a Gixxer 750 then get an R1!!!! No defense for that!!!

dont, worry i bet a steak dinner its just the reg/rec or a parasitic short, tell him to go buy a $20 battery tender and leave u alone And this guy got a classic a cb 750? in its hay-day this was the definitive sport bike b4 there were sport bikes!!! The VFR interceptor or Cub may be the only more influential bike in honda history, in 1973 or so it was the first production bike with disc brakes, over head cams, and maintenance free hydraulic lifters.

if your ever in so cal let me know i am in san bernardino u can come hangout at the shop and even wrench on a few cars at your own pace. The hardest part is the diagnostics for the most part, I mean anyone who can read can replace parts a good tech needs to be able to track down problems correctly and fix them all in a timely manner. And a great tech prevents more problems then he fixes So u plans on working on cars, bikes or anything with motor that people will pay u to fix?

Yeah the shop is doing very well we have been open a year now this month, we opened right b4 the economy went in the crapper. However we have been doing very well and making progress. But if u need any help in getting your own business off the ground, let me know, since u say its far off the best advice i can give u is keep your credit score up, get all the meaningless pieces of paper at the tech schools (like the certs. and all that stuff, even the one u think are dumb), the banks look at all that stuff even more so now to see if your serious and know your stuff. Its very gratifying but very hard work!!! I wanted 2 be my own boss and work my own hours and i sure do... i get to work any 16 hours of the day i choose

wow a lot of these threads have popped up as of late, take a MFS course, buy a beater bike, wear the right gear and get the most life insurance u can afford. Oh and i dont know about the 250 "flying" by the 1ks in the turns, but i do like 600s for the track.

So how has the 6gc faithful been? I have not been on in a long while. I have been very busy, I opened my own car and motorcycle shop. But if u remember me say hello!!! Derrick, Eggman, Andy Thia hope all u guys been good!

well that bike sounds fine except for the fact that it has been used by many other squids to learn on, that means it has been dropped and banged up more then a few times. But the mileage is not a concern, i have over 35k miles on my newest bike and its only a year old. Its all in how u take care of it.

i didnt know that there were aftermarket wheels for the GT-R already i heard special wheels need to be made for the g's the car can pull?

ok who wanted the read dics brakes for the conversion? i will be home soon in 2 week so i need 2 get this figured out. Sorry i been slow on replying but now my phone is broken too, dropped it in a recliner and the mechanism aint it up:( put get at me its time to get this stuff shipped out soon!

well importing it, and importing it for sale are to different things. I am just saying there have been 6th gen gt-4s over the in states b4 plenty of time.

yeah there are some LHD st205's out there but i am not sure if there is any WRC 6th gen gt-4s out there. but there might be. And i am sure there has been real 6th gen gt-4s imported years ago! seen one when i was working for toyota's warehouse way back in 1999 its was brought over for a show in California so i guess "technically" toyota did import some just had 2 take them back once the 3 (over how ever many months it is) temp bond was is up.

depends what u mean all? u want the discs and rotor or all the mounting stuff like hubs and control arms too?

Oh and no one wants the TRD "like" hood? $200 for that $400 for the rims with a trade of your stock rims tires are new and were $300 alone. Also have custom exhaust, straight pipe no cat, 2in pipe with magnaflow muffler sounds very good, deep and not weak and ricer. $175 for everything from the headers back.

$150 and they are yours no trade i will just send u mine, oh plus shipping of course.

best way 2 get a hold of me is text me 623 206 8347 my internet is not working
