But I hadn't been posting in a long time lol. I recently purchased something that saves more gas and is more fun than the V...



My 2000 Yamaha R6

Looks good. Wear a good helmet and stay safe out there.

Duudee....I've been wanting one of those since I turned 12 but after thinking about it..I'm sure I would kill myself and hurt others driving one of those bad boys..

Looks nice, I like it

Don't see how mine isn't legal... but ok. Good for you!

And thanks for the comments all. Yes, I have gear. This was just a pic from the first day I got it. I love my V, but the R6 is definitely the mistress.

In other words I have one under my name...but never road it.

Death wish. article in the Houston Chronicle recently about a significant increase in motorcycle deaths as people have been buying bikes like crazy with gas prices higher. Subsequently, less experienced riders = more motorcycle fatalities.

Do you ever street it. Or maybe highway it.

What they probably don't mention is that the majority of those people buy litre bikes as their first bikes with no experience. A 190+HP bike in the hands of a noob is indeed a deathwish.

sounds like you do have experience! Another fatality in Houston today. A case where the bike was going too fast, no helmet and a car ran a stop sign. Bad combination. Be careful, wear leather and that helmet!

My sister was an ER physician at memorial hermann here in houston and almost every motorcycle accident was a teenage kid in cargo shorts, t-shirt, flip flops. That combined with a 1000cc crotch rocket and usually some kind of intoxicant never works out well.

If you plan on riding i highly reccommend the MSF safety course. Start off with a small bike (learn your limits, and get practice), Always wear DOT safety gear.

Remember its not IF you fall its WHEN

I work EMS in my town and yesterday my partner tells me about two of her dad's workers who bought new bikes and were out for a ride with 8 others to Simi Valley. One guy hit a rock, lost control and swerved in front of an oncoming car which then swerved and took out both the guys on the new bikes, they were father and son. The father lost his leg at the scene and the son had major head injuries, this was..friday? Found out today that the son died due to massive head injuries and the father is still in intensive care, now with only one leg.

Another horror story I can share from last summer was a young kid showing off for his family was doing a wheelie down a city street at over 100 mph when a car pulled out in front of him. I won't get into the details to much but he was dead at the scene and had hit the car hard enough to spin it more than 180 degrees.....in front of his family no less.

In the 10+ years that I have worked on an ambulance the smartest thing I can tell you is to wear leather and a helmet. Statistics prove that 95% of all accidents happen within 5 miles from home. This is mainly because people know their neighborhood streets, they are just running a quick errand and don't think they need all their safety gear. Please people...just be safe. We don't call those things Donor Cycles for nothing.

No offense to everyone posting here, but If you are buying a motorcycle for "fun" and it isnt a trike or a cruiser, then the "fun" all comes from the fact that motorcycles are dangerous. That being said, why does everyone and their mother have to tell horror stories about motorcycles whenever they get wind of someone getting one. Unless the persons lived in a closet their whole lives, then they know the risk.

Hey man, have fun riding your bike. Post some burnout pics or sumthin on here.
