My family immigrated to the United States a little more than a decade ago. However, my parents still own the house in Poland and the majority of my family is there. We go back to Poland quite a lot, especially me and my little brother. I even studied abroad there last year for four months. Because we go back so much my parents decided to ship a car over there, so that we don't have to borrow one from my uncle every time we go.

Well, since we're shipping a car, my dad thought it would be a good idea to ship a few toys with it as well. We got a great deal on a dirtbike and a snowmobile.

First, the dirtbike:A 2003 Honda CRF450. This thing is a beast. I used to dirtbike before I got my sportbike. I had a decent YZ250, but that thing does not hold a candle to this beast. I'm going to take it out a few more times before it gets shipped out to Poland in a few months.

The snowmobile:A 2000 Yamaha V-max 600 deluxe edition. If it snows before we ship it out then I'll probably take it up to Wisconsin for a day.

I know it doesn't seem like it would be worth it to send these things over to Poland, but honestly they will be used more for the three weeks a year that we're in Poland than they would if they were here the whole year.

Some of you may remember my thread when I got my first crotch rocket (zerothread?id=134193). Well, my little brother just got his motorcycle license so I decided to give him the Gixxer and get myself something newer and faster

So I picked up this bad boy this weekend:

A 2003 Yamaha R1 Limited Edition. This thing is a beast. The difference in power between this and my Gixxer is like night and day. It's got a few things done to it like the red rims, Hot Bodies exhaust, turn signals, stainless steel brake lines, Power Commander, and a few other goodies. It hauls. I'm not going to register or insure it until next spring because I won't really have time to ride it anymore this year.

Just thought I would share these pictures with you guys because I know there's a lot of bike enthusiasts on here. Enjoy.

Nice set of toys!

I took my 3yr old nephew to NICOFest last weekend. He didnt gave a dern about the cars and their shiny engine bays. He just wanted to stare at the bikes all day. I think he's hooked.

Whoa that exhaust is ridiculous.

What are the miles, and how much did you get it for?
