Well, the Supra has been up on blocks having a turboectimy for awhile now, and I've discovered how much fun liter bikes are... :)

Here is my new toy.

Here is the old toy. (Just sold it.)

The KTM was fun, but I found I was riding 99% of the time on the street, so no need for an enduro. (It's a 620 RXCe, so a pretty dang nice bike for going off road, and plenty capable on the street, but nothing like the 06 FZ1 is around town!)

I had the chance to buy an FZ1 for 4 grand from a friends dad. Its a sweet bike for sure, but too much bike for a no-experience-rider like myself. Nice bike.

I chatted with some guy on a ducati 999R at the gas station the other day. Great looking bikes, but I never liked the sound of a Vtwin honestly.

that fz1 looks awesome in red. as far as looks, I'm partial to the honda 600RR

Thanks guys! My brother just bought a CBR1000RR in black, and we are hoping for more nice days around here to ride. (Only have been able to make it out one time, and it was 34f, so pretty cold.)

I'm really looking forward to spring! (And doing some mods to this bike.)

That Speed Triple is a great naked bike. I'm getting older, so I like haveing the upright bars and faring on my FZ1, but I looked at the Honda 919 as well. (Just a faring away and it was less money, but I really liked the red FZ1, and even more with the 3 part lower faring which I might get later.)

Doing what I do for a living, I'm trying to be the safest rider out there, and my goal is never to touch pavement with anything other than my tires... We will see how long that lasts. (The KTM only fell over when I was not on it... )

I'm actually pretty sane when I'm riding so far, and I hope to stay that way. (Compared to driving the Supra for example...)

My brother's CBR is pretty dang quick! (I think they are about 150hp at the rear wheel, and mine is like 130rwhp, but only in the top gears. Yamaha limited the power to about 115 in 1-3rd, so it is no wheelie bike, that's a good thing for now :))
