A few quick pics of my new bike; the dirt looking stuff is metalflake in the paint.
This is the smoothest bike I've ever ridden; it's awesome!!!

That's a sweet ride you have there. Just be careful that you don't make the same mistake that I did... gravel sucks. lol. Oh and just for the record, I didn't choose the belt.

Just be careful and wear a helmet. I can't stand to see people riding bikes without helmets. I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't been wearing one. Even though my accident happened at 35mph, I broke 9 bones and had a lot of internal injuries. Ride safe.

Is that your tire skid mark in the other lane?

nice bike and congrats....

yamaha is the way to go.....


for you and Jgyolai all's i've got to say is, ATGATT.

All The Gear All The Time

get yourself a leather jacket and gloves, a good helmet and some riding boots (not just any boots, get RIDING boots), and textile or leather pants.

you can wipe out doing 100mph and if you have good gear on it can mean the difference between having to brush the dirt off your gear, or spending a few weeks in the hospital.

Thanks for the compliments.
I have a little over 100 miles on it.
This is one nice machine.

I was wearing everything but the jacket. It was hot, but I do wish I had one on. Needless to say, I retired myself from riding. I think I'll focus more on my ARs. lol. That was during the Sturgis bike rally last year. I'm stationed up here in Rapid.

That is a sweet bike, wish you nothing but the best and I hope you have fun. The adrenaline rush of riding is great. =)
