The 636 or the 6R is racier than he wants to go, I agree about the on/off switch part though!

He's pretty much decided on the ZZR 600. Said he was going to get it today. I'll keep you posted.

What do ya know? That's where I met most of them. That just pisses me off, and it makes the rest of us look bad to the general public. Sport bikes already have a bad rep. Don't need no more help ya know.

I was taking the MCF course on post, and this colonel shows up wanting to get one of her guys enrolled a day late. He rolls up on a brand new busa, could barely tough the ground, and had never ridden a motorcycle before. The instructor told her that the best thing she could do was take away his key until he sells the bike and bought one appropriate for his age/height/experience. It was hilarious

I also had 5 guys that wrecked their bikes in the first 3 months we were back and were seriously injured...in our company. So thats 5 out of 100. The bikes were 2-GSXR100's, 1-R1, and 2- Repsol CBR1000's. None of them had owned bikes before. Go figure
