pistonbroke Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Some of you may know, that I recently sold my supe, I've been down in the dumps since she left, even the purchase of a PS3 only cheered my up for a little while. However, the clouds parted today, after I got my grubby little mitts on this beauty Shes a 2004 Yamaha R6, with 3300 miles on the clock, and absolutly mint mint minty mint. Braided brake hoses all round, full set of bungs, polished rear sprocket. Now I'm smiling again. Just need to get a bike license now Got to go, I need to go out to the garage to oogle at her some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Nice bike mate. Read this thread and the links within (just in case you haven't seen it). http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=110238&highlight=brings+it Riding a fast bike fast is one of the most exhilarating and involving things you'll ever do. If you don't respect it and / or don't concentrate, it will kill you. If do respect it and concentrate, someone else might kill you anyway, so watch out for everyone else. Do one of the riding courses with the local police in your area. They'll impart some useful tips for road riding and critique your riding. They don't hang about when they're riding during the course either, so you might get to ride your local roads at a reasonable pace with a police escort;) Alternatively, get your license, forget road riding and do it on the track instead.
