There's a guy not far from you trying to get $9500 for his Gixxer... it's already lowered, stretched and modded and has only been done for about a month or two. Too bad you didn't get that one, could have saved you a ton of money

I don't know that I'd consider it a waste, although I wouldn't lower and stretch my own bike. Some of us don't work at dealers and get parts for next to nothing... my R1 certainly wasn't cheap, but it's got a clear title and I bought it new, with no accident history at all. To each his own I guess.

The Skyline's not that fast man. It's very lightly modded. Remember they come from the factory making only 280hp, as is regulated by Japan. My FD would take it

hahahah buell that was funny. my 600 eats buells for breakfast and ***** out harley's hahahah why would anyone buy a buell? there way overpriced for outdated junk. and they dont hold up at all in a crash. you could buy an rc51 for the same price and dust it in every aspect.

Congratulations on the bike....

On another note....

I don't want to high jack your thread or rain on your parade but this year I lost two friends in bike accidents and I just want to share this with everyone here.... I hope it will make everyone who reads this think twice before they get on a bike or save someones life.....


The first one was James, he was only 21 years young.... James was a coworker and friend. When he first bought his Honda 900 he would sometimes say.... " Damn, today I drove to 150 mph, wow what a rush". Sometimes he would say " Yo, I raced this porche and smoked him."

One night he was riding with 2 other bikers and took a corner to fast... He hit a lampost... The lampost didn't kill him..... He was thrown from the bike and slid on his stomach head on into the curb, pushing is head into his shoulders and breaking his neck.....

James was full of life he would go to the gym and work out... He was very healthy... He was built like a body builder he was the last person anyone would think would die..... He hated cigarettes and every time he saw me smoking he would allways ask me when I was going to quit.... Guess what? I quit the day he died......

My second friend was 34 years young..... David was a fire fighter (FDNY).... He was an experienced rider.... One morning on the way to work a woman unexpectedly made an illegal U-Turn, smashing into my friend and killing him.... Just like that!

Both died in less than a year apart leaving behind family, friends, children, parents, a wife, and loved ones.....

Please be careful out there riding..... Remember a bike does not have the same protection a car has.....

Remember the bikers infamous saying... " Either you've been down or you'll go down, sooner or later you'll get some road rash."

Peace.

Lost a few of my friends to accidents also. Been riding next to one when he looped it @ 137mph.
Its true if you ride your going to put it down eventually, no matter how good you think you are
Ive been fortunate to limp away with a broken collarbone and road rash on my leg. Came to close to eating it to many times, I save the real speed for vacant roads now. There’s nothing like seeing the speedo pass 170, and knowing it’s just you and whatever you believe in. No radios, No cell phones, No problems, No worries, No cares, No stress… None of the bs that makes the day annoying

Like no brakes?

I won't preach, I've seen 170 my share of times on the highway too. But be careful out there... the more of us that **** up and kill ourselves riding recklessly, the more **** we have to hear from people that don't ride.
