: Finally got my dream bike
305gsxrkid 01-13-2011, 11:38 PM Ive been riding for two years now, went from a 86 VFR 750, to a 03 yzf600r, to a f2 CBR, and now this. I have always loved the way gsxrs drove and i think they are by far one of the cleanest looking bikes.
I picked this up for $3950, i had it delivered, so i really paid $3800 for it. Its an 06 600, jardine pipe, PC3, puig screen.
What ive done already:
Rim tape
CRG Bar end mirror
Hot bodies mirror turns
Tinted tail
Lowered about 2" in the front
Whats being delivered :
Woodcraft tapered clip ons with gel grips
Apryk shorty
Adjustable black levers
Lowered for the time being cause i like the look but ill end up doing a track day this year so itll be raised back up.
( PS, no i usually do not ride without gear on, i ordered my lid a week ago from MS, paid for overnight and it just got shipped today.)

Walkn-gixxer 01-13-2011, 11:42 PM ROFLMAO, a helmet isn't the only thing you missing. Put some damn pants on, some boots, a jacket and some gloves.
Nice bike though. :thumbup
305gsxrkid 01-13-2011, 11:46 PM Haha lid and gloves are coming tomorrow, jacket is being ordered Friday, gonna be my first jacket that's over $400, believe me i think gears important, its just i had to ride the bike haha. Thanks though !
Samantha750 01-14-2011, 12:31 AM So you have had 3 bikes, this being your fourth but you own no gear? You are going to get eaten alive.
gerardsgixxer 01-14-2011, 12:47 AM eh whats the point of gearing up if you're just going up the street im pretty sure he knows the rules. Nice bike pretty good price too
six4three5 01-14-2011, 01:02 AM No chance...I'm calling BS...troll.
jZampage 01-14-2011, 01:38 AM He's not a troll.
Just a :squid
PS: That bar end ruins that bike, and your fender eliminator has the most retarded plate position ever.
Good riddance.
SPL170db 01-14-2011, 01:52 AM In Florida a backwards baseball cap IS considered viable head protection.
BTW, what the hell is an "Apryk shorty" ?

Obvious troll is obvious..and even if he isn't a troll.. he won't do well in this forum. :lol I give him 3 days max til the :ban .
Honestly, it will probably be tomorrow morning or so after everyone gets back on here when they are back at work.
8you4t 01-14-2011, 06:50 AM you'v owned other bikes and you'v got no gear left from riding them ????
i dont care how excited you were to go for a ride .... it could always be your last , no gear is just asking for TROUBLE , now go to your room .... :nono
( btw nice bike ...)
jrocmotivation 01-14-2011, 07:26 AM isnt that plate location illegal in florida??
gear up and hit the track :thumbup
JetBlast 01-14-2011, 07:26 AM welcome! good luck :)
WarrenPridgeon 01-14-2011, 07:58 AM I crashed my previous bike (03 SV650S) and I made sure I LENT a helmet (my old one touched down in my crash) when I went to test ride new bikes to buy...
When I first got my first bike (same SV650S), it stood in my garage for like 3 days before I rode it, because I didn't have gear... I sat on it every day when I got home... even started it... hehe... but I was too scared to ride without any gear...
Got the gear on the thursday... rode about 50km... at night... at highway speeds... went to work the next day on it... dropped it doin a slow u-turn that evening... hehehe... it happens...
I've ridden once or twice "down to the garage" with just a helmet and regular clothing on... it didn't feel good... I always ride in cowhide... from the neck to the toes (my head has a composite fibre, fibreglass covering...lol)...
Squid... get some gear...
Lean With It 01-14-2011, 08:08 AM who the hell put their trash can in the middle of the parking area?
gerardsgixxer 01-14-2011, 10:33 AM who cares if he wears gear or not its america do what u want im pretty sure he has seen the pic of crashes without gear. Tired of telling squids yr after yr what and what not to do i say f*ck it let them crash and burn then maybe one day they will wise up..

You do that..while others try to help. If you want to mind your own business, you are doing a bad job at it.
Buster Hymen 01-14-2011, 10:49 AM ill end up doing a track day this year so itll be raised back up.
PS, no i usually do not ride without gear on
Don't give up on OP yet..............................there's still hope.:dunno

wise up, blame the other driver, or be dead.
Moody_200mph 01-14-2011, 11:01 AM Nice Bike....everybody wants the Vanilla Ice pick fools! LOL I would raise that front back up if you want to ride longer than 30 min....my arms would fall off, although I am a short bastard!
natas north 01-14-2011, 11:26 AM one thing i have learned from picking up a dirtbike last year without owning any dirty gear is the temptation is just too much to ride. it has started me giving the advice to newbs to get gear before the bike, then you dont have to fight the temptation. nice bike dood, ride on
closetoreality 01-14-2011, 12:12 PM If your taking a cruise around town, I don't see an issue. If your going out for a run through the twisties, or heading out onto the highway then yes wear your gear.
You going to go up to every harley and call him a squid for wearing a t-shirt?
Falling off a harley doing 40MPH around town is no different than falling off a streetbike.....like I said, around town.
I'm not trying to be ignorant, I'm just sick of seeing people get judged on the fact if they wear proper gear or not, or if they buy an "R" bike for their first bike.
Do you agree with it? Maybe not. Is it your job to give them a bag of shit for it? Hell No.

you should wear gear even in town. doesnt take much for a cager to pull out on you and take you out regardless the speed in town you are going. this video is a guy who slipped out on a new tire on a simple corner with no gear on at low speed.

closetoreality 01-14-2011, 12:37 PM A.) He pushed into the throttle on a corner on an unscuffed tire.....not wearing gear wasn't the issue here, it was common sense.
B.) I'm not talking about going out on a bike naked, when I speak of gear I'm talking about full leathers. Around town leather gloves to brace a fall, a helmet, and pants is all.
I'm not trying to have a stick up my ass with all this, I just hope some of you can see the reason I'm criticizing the bullshit people get because there not out there in a one piece 24/7.

I was just "around town" when I went down due to cold tyres... 60km/h is pretty fast to fall at... I would have had major roasties if I didn't have my gear on...
Your choice to ride with or without gear... you are allowed to make stupid choices...
And obviously... the people with a little sense will be telling others to wise up and wear their gear.
It saves skin which reduces complications with healing...

im with you on this one, :cheers
TBagr 01-16-2011, 10:37 AM good luck bro.
i cant watch that video just because the guy talks like a moron not because of the rash.

This guy is completely full of shit......he's never even ridden a motorcycle before. He just got his ass beat down and lunch money taken, and he's trying to make it sound like he's a badass motorcycle rider who crashed.
