We used up the other two threads so I started this one. A lasting tribute to a deserving new ride...Enjoy, I am. (cannot F'n wait for break in to be over!)

I'm sure it's a blast to ride and I'm sure you're very happy with it.

But you would agree that's one strange looking bike, right?

Thanks all! Yes it is different, bizarre, strange maybe but that is what makes it great! Really after 5 in line 4s, a parallel twin and a V twin it feels right. The engine speaks to me, it rides great, handles well, and fits me to a T.

At the end of the day isn't that what it is all about??

Is that a 4 banger Firebird in the background?

If so...all you phots are hjerby condemned to gayness

WAS a 4 banger. Now sports a destroked, cammed, and blueprinted V8 chevy small block.

How are you liking those perimeter brakes.

Gas Man · 07-17-2009, 07:04 PM

Fuck the other guys... I love the looks!

Ooooooh nice. I mean like Eslick nice.

smileyman · 07-17-2009, 07:41 PM

i raced with Eslick for a time. party animal! Fast as hell though.

The front brakes are strong, equal in bite to any sportbike I have owned, my ZX6R has braided lines, radial master cyl. And all, but it is hard to modulate, on or off. rear brake is non existent...
