LOL! - Jeff, they were (initially, at least) bagging you for saying you couldn't ride in anything under 70ºF! - C'mon now...70ºF is too cold for you?
Winter Blues : Yamaha R6 : R6 Forum
I got banned on the biggest Harley forum within a couple of days, because someone posted, then posted again two minutes later and told me he did 250miles since his last post. I commented "I'm impressed, 250 miles in 2 minutes, you must have some major mods on your Harley."
Ok, I just did a bit of research on this "shervin" guy on the zx-10 forum. Here is his flickr album. You just can't make this crap up! hahaha I've been going through his pictures for the last hour

Psst....just don't ask...
"What's a TRE?"
If you flip through the linked website, you will see that the holes in the frame line up with the sides cut out of the airbox, so obviously this is to let the engine breath, since we all know what poor engineers Kawasaki has and how corked up that engine was until Shermy got hold of it. Anyway, the engine is a stressed member of the chassis and can carry the load. The chassis was overbuilt anyway. This is why Sherm picked the ZX-10. He would've had a much harder time improving on a Busa which is d@mned near perfect straight out of the crate!OOOoohhh AAAAAhhhhhh
Oh My~!~
One thing I do like the idea of though is the wheels, if they weren't done to look like crap I think the idea would work out.
Still, why the holes in the frame, installing and LCD or something~?~
What was the big reason for cutting those holes in his frame~?~
I have many times rode with a shirt and no jacket. But always wear a helmet and gloves. I don't see the big deal, if one goes down, its that persons problem, not yours.

Sorry, dude, but I have to admit that I too would probably flame you for that.
There are a lot of us who hate seeing bikers without proper protective gear. - Quality, mesh jackets are not expensive, so there is no excuse for you to not wear one. I live in a part of Australia where the summer temperature can hit >105ºF but I still wear a jacket.
If you don't want to be labelled a "squid", don't tell anyone that you dress inappropriately. Just ask StwBusa about his "no helmet" thread...
(What is it with Texans and not wearing the right gear?)
I just hope this guy doesn't hang out here long at a "Hayabusa" dedicated website with his R6 and strange attitude.
I read that whole post at the R6 forum, and I wanted to punch a couple people in the mouth. Unfortunately the OP was one of those people.
Oh, and OP, I live in Wisconsin, and I don't believe I'm a "douchbag" (I spelled it wrong just as he did)

Hello, I got to this forum follwing a link to a thread about the R6 forum and its rude members. I ride an 07 R6, I love all bikes sport and dirt...anyway I am a small frame dude so I got the 600, I have had 750s and 500s too but at 5'8" and 135 lbs the 6 suites me. Well I joined the R6 forum to talk bikes with and share tech tips and whatever...I posted a thread about winter temps and what different people consider to be too cold to enjoy riding. I am from Texas and so my cutoff is considered fairly warm for folks in the north. Well I was bashed and called names by several members. I had a pic of me riding in a tee shirt and was mowed for it, even though I don't race or stunt and it was 100F that day with 90% humidity. I admit, I attempted to defend myself against an army of angry gear nazis. But I was the one who was banned? I will never post on this crazy forum ever again. My post was called winter blues and anyone (who is not banned) can go read for themselves, I have an attitude when prevoked..
