New bike curse lifted early!

[BulletTrain]

Well, my two week new bike rain curse lifted early and I got to roll out for a little dance of the green ninjas this afternoon. Found lots of gravel patches on the roads we took so we couldn't haul ass, but one section of the route was clean and traffic free so we had a little fun. It was good to be back on a litre indeed. The 600 thing just isn't me...

Anyway, you know I snapped some pics, so here they are...


Me, ready to roll out...

The "dancers" at out meeting spot...

A few at our rest stop...

My ridin' bro in his leathers...

And one last "I'm so proud to be back on a..." shot...

Thanks. And until I can afford a busa as a second bike I'm done...

Me too... Good to be back on two... I rode the 636 even less than I have my past bikes because I just couldn't get into it. It was almost like being bikeless for a while.

That's not my crown vic man. It was just sittin' at the store we met up at.

Mine isn't quite that clean right now. Gotta love the calls down the dirt roads...

Her name is Verde Loca... Short for La Muchacha Verde Loca... Translation= "The Crazy Green Girl" for those like me who don't speak a word of Spanish.

I had originally named her the Ballistic Booger but she didn't like that. She said if I called her "booger" she'd flick me like one.

She said she prefered Verde Loca so that's what she got.

BT didn't you just get a 636? Did you trade her in or by her a sister?


P.S. Can I borrow some money?

Yeah, it's awesome to be "back".

There's simply NOTHING on two wheels that compares to pushing a litre while in a good lean. The corners simply don't last long enough bro. Just like on Diablo, the twisty roads go by WAY too fast on Verde Loca. I found myself a couple times thinkin', "Man, we're goin' slow." but I'd look down as I rolled onto the throttle coming off the apex of corners and I'd be going 75+ mph... in 35 mph posted twisties.

The 10 works so well for me and handles so sweet that 40 over the limit in the good stuff feels like a relaxed pace. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Can't wait to get a set of tires on it so I can really ride it. I simply can't develope any confidence in those stupid Dunflop D218's. Why Kawi chose those tires for the all new 10R in 2004 and went with them AGAIN in 2005 I'll never understand. A huge percent of the 10R owners on the 10R forums hated the Dunflops as much as I do.

Yes, I bought a 636. The whole high winding 600 thing just wasn't for me, man. It had plenty of power for me, but I didn't like having to keep it above 10k rpm to stay in the power. It wasn't the fact that I had to shift more and work to keep it there, it was more the fact that I don't care to have to wind that high all the time on the street for the power. I found that I was losing my passion to ride the 636 because of that so I sold it and bought another 10R. My passion is back with a vengeance since I got back on a litre.

And big thanks to errrbody else for the compliments and congrats.

Didn't mean it like that, work has kept me off the bestsite on the internet for a long time. So long, that the last time I was on was when you had just gotten your 636.


Glad your back on the 10 beast! and as always great pics!

Thanks. Glad to be back on a 10. Didn't realize how much, or in how many ways I missed the 10R.
