Current bike is an '03 Suzuki SV650. Bought it last year because it was cheap and needed to ride but damn if I really do enjoy the bike. Easy to work on, reliable as hell and just fun to ride albeit a bit quiet.

Before this one I had an '07 Kawa Versys but an old lady decided to make a left turn in front of me and totaled the bike. Felt like the Versys was made to tear up pavement, it was a really comfortable ride.

My 1978 Harley FXS Lowrider. 93 cubic inch S&S engine (1500 cc, give or take), 5 speed trans, wide glide front end. Hauls ass for a 38 year old Harley.

The first motorcycle I ever rode was a 36' UHL Harley with a suicide shift on the right, foot clutch on the left, spark advance on the right grip, and the throttle on the left. I then started the Moto cross thing grew tired of the slow speed thing and quit riding til after I got married and had my first kid on the way, and bought a Katana 750, great sport touring model. But even sport bikers couldn't hang with me in the Twisties. Used to do a vacation every yr to Deal's Gap, rte129 Asheville NC. 118 turns in an 11.3 mile stretch of incredible riding. It is literally like doing 45-50+ around turns tighter then a gas pump island. The Cherolla skyway is there as well, and goes up throughout the smokey mountains. We have a property we rent for the week, trailer down, and unloading our 1100 sq ft. Garage with pool table and a table tennis table. Two seperate houses for accommodating up to 14 if I remember correctly. Look up rte.129 "The Dragon" and if you do go, pray you don't have to hang parts on the"tree of shame" at the end of thebrte. I can say this....we pissed off a a shitton of cops down there. They aren't even allowed to chase you up the dragon anymore. If you're runnin em, make sure that the other end of the dragon is clear of cops cuz they will barricade. But there's professional photographers that post up in various corners taking videos, and pics of all types of riders. Also alot of sports car enthusiasts show up alot, which is a pain for the guys who went to ride hard.

These were taken of me at Summit Main in W
V. In 05' also the JC circuit same property two tracks. Also rode the Pocono National Speedway, and NJ moto park. Rode with Team promotion great group on the East Coast, and they'll teach you how to ride moto GP tracks. I took the course just so I could rip as fast as I wanted and they obviously too a more in-depth look at my riding ability compared to the noobs of ridomg period. So up I was moved from the white group, skipped the blue intermediate group, and right to the red group which was basically a real racing group where your lap times were posted and placement was announced. I laid her to rest after having a total monsoon only on half the track, and sun shining on the other half. Needless to say an uphill left-hander cambered at that, had a total washout of an inch of water running down the hill, I low sided at 115mph and slid almost straight into the sand traps they have in corners, and my tires dug in the sand, and varrel rolled with her one rotation and had to join the fuck off. In the air, things went in slowotion, I thought, don't be a dumbass and break your legs or arms so in the air I crossed both, and hoped for the best. I hit all the way out of the sand trap, down the wet grass which being wet was to my advantage. I laid there, took inventory of movement of fingers, toes, arms legs, and back. Thank God they require a back protector cuz without it. Results would've no doubt been different. R.I.P my love!

[ChaosCatalunya]

Yes, Back protectors FTW....

Also, I must recommend the amazing Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyres... Meant to be "Sports Touring" but work well as Sports tyres, only really start sliding on trackdays in the fast group... But racers are using them as Inters

On the road they warm up unbelievably in just a few corners and grip in the wet better than anything else on hte market... and they last... incredibly, people getting 2k out of rears are now getting 10k... Amazing tyres, massively recommended

An old shovel head, with a 5 speed c/w kick start. Awesome.

I had Mich. Pilot Powers on, from the time she rolled on the road to the track, I averaged 17+1800 road miles on one set. They suggest a fifty -sixty mile "scrub in" I always was home with totally scrubbed new tires in 35 mi. Even on this brand new soft amd oily shoes to the limit as soon as they were on. And yep they are hands down the best road or track tire, short of slicks and chicken Hawks.
