That chick.. not bad. I'd hit it.
We have a lot of roads out here like that and many times, they are congested as hell.
Marcus, did you find our meeting spot for the cruise?

Dont be fooled by Marcus Rob. Motorcycles are SOooooooo dangerous out here in so cal. He needs to be careful. Marcus is a friend of mine and hate to see him riding that bike.

Yeah, It is VERY dangerous out here. People just don't pay attention. Fortunately, that road pictured is rarely traveled. It's almost considered a fire road, except it is public. And no worries, it's not me I'm worried about, it's every soccor mom and teen kid bumping their tunes not paying attention that scares me. Don't worry, I have NO problem putting my carbon fiber knuckles into their car to set them straight and let them know I'm in the lane they are trying to merge into.
And as for the spot, no I haven't had a chance yet Kevin. I'll do it when it stops raining. Got busy studying for finals after my ride yesterday. No worries, it'll get done before the week is over. And as for Chris not hooking up the 140, I guess I'll just have to wait until i can afford one then. Although, I bet I can do some awesome promotional stuff with one under my hood.

p.s. Bree is about 30 mins. from me. It's about time I go meet up with her, so she can model on my bike and L too!
What up M?
Bike looks sick.
Just be careful out there bro...I don't know many beginners who start out on R1s.
For now my 80-something Ninja 500 is good enough for me

Ok Real True Life Story,
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a real sick ****, and always have been. About 20 years ago, I had the Kawi Z-1 and then later the Z-1R Prototype. The Z-1 had NOS when no one heard of it on a bike. So here I come around my favorite turn ballz out in third on the Z-1R (probably 120 MPH) leaning that Mo Fo down on my boots, sparks flying out, and the *** hole on the back is leaning the total opposite way schitting bricks (my little Bro) meanwhile we cut out of work, and Mom + Dad were a state away at a wedding. Ok maybe we had a real good buzz on too (I was always a nut) So here it goes into a major high speed wobble and the sucker is flexing probaly 2ft in back and fourth and we're leaned to the max (left side) and I know if I cant get out of the wobble we going straight into the pole right in the middle of the awesome hi speed curve. Can't get out of the wobble so at last second I whale the back break, bike straightens up and throws us flying. My bro lucks out and flys out up over me and lands one lawn away pretty much ok. Me I got to deal with the tank bars and now a fire hydrant. OH YA, knee first straight into a hydrant. Needless to say, I had to learn how to walk again and didn't for a long time.
Now here's where it gets sicker
so I'm out of hospital, cant bend leg and won't be able too for about a year later after therophy. So I get the bike fixed (was actually not bad, it stayed in the road and just slid around the turn bounching off the curb and around the turn) Now since my shifting leg couldn't move I rigged up a hand shifter by taking a toiler plunger wood handle, cutting a gruve in the end center, inserting a Z shaped steel bracket, that slipped over the foot shifter, then it was rigged to the tank via a bracket and stood vertical about 2-1/2 ft from shifter straight up and over the tank. I would n ow shift with my left hand. Now since I couldn't walk, I also had to rig up a place to keep the croutches, and my leg since it was braced straight and had no movement. So a long rod off the left front frame and a strapping device for the leg was done there, then another bracket on the other side to hold the crutches. (one end to the back, one to the front) Now the good part, I get into a hi speed chase by a Cop and out run him like three towns down sunrise hwy weaving in and out of cars etc. he finally corners me at an intersection in RVC NY. As I slowly balance my weight on the right leg, while unstrapping my left leg and finding the crutches to get off, (the kick stand was the tricky part) and talk to him, he see's my act and starts freaking out at me, screaming and yelling of how he almost killed himself chasing me through Freeport and Baldwin and now into Rockville Center, bla bla bla.... The best part was, after recieving like every ticket in the book and finally getting home from work, the next day he comes into my work place (local Plumbing Supply) and says, hey arent you the guy from yesterday, why didn't you say something, bla bla bla... I remind him of how he WAS SCREAMING AT ME AT THE TIME, so he says, plead not guilty and I won't show for court. He didn't, I gotr all tickets dropped. Went on to many other bikes after that, but stuck to driving with 2 legs.

Rob, that's some story. Always gotta make sure your passenger knows to lean WITH you. Especially on a ***** out corner like that. I haven't gotten that low yet. Still waiting on the rest of my gear and for a new rear tire. It poured yesterday, so no twisties for me, until the ground drys up a bit.
