Before I picked mine up I rode it around for two days straight and never felt any pain or uncomfortableness at all. Between that and the powerband it really changed my perception of supersports.

I love that color blue, that was my second choice if I couldn't find a black one.

No. He riding a 600 so his penis is small. A hyper sport bike like a hyabusa would symbolize his manhood being much larger.

Actually the riding position on a Busa is kind of awful. I'm lucky the one I tried out didn't get a nasty dent in her tank.

For real penis-size and penis-weight-challenged riders there's really only only one option (this goes for bright spanking new penis challenged riders too): The (Penis) Millyard Viper V10.

There's a bunch of places you can place your penis while riding that cute bike.

Z3n's gay, obviously. Women who actually ride their own bikes are HOT. Even better if they actually ride them vs just going to the hang out spot, maybe 5 miles around town, and back home. Yes I'm biased. This new information about RPM's and though, does insurance pay if the chick is having a multiple and rear ends me?

Well, my gf just got herself a DR-Z400SM as well so let me know when you get that info.

To add some relevant content, I shined up my R75/5 last week after finally getting it back together and going again after my accident. After about a 100 mile ride last weekend though I found an oil leak under the right jug so I'll pop that off today and put on a new gasket (and no, it's not the pushrod tube seals).

Long time lurker finally put my hand in my pocket and became a member,thought i'd post here first.

Used to have one of these,bmw K1200s(laser hotcam end can,dimsport rapid bike 3 kit with quickshifter)



I've also got a 900 hornet(power commander,quickshifter,beowulf endcans)



But then the gearbox died after about 90,000 miles,so while I searched for a replacement engine for it,I traded the bmw in for a 900 diversion :( (um......it has heated grips!)

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.
Very nice, what kind of paint is that on the 900?

It's burgundy,but that's standard for 900 diversions over in the uk,but if you mean the hornet that colour is mostly dirt.....and rust

That is really cool you can still enjoy a motorcycle. Don't want to offend or pry so tell me to buzz off if I am but did you ride with both arms previously?

If so, what was the learning curve like having all the controls on the left side?

It's not as bad as it looks Z3n(seeing how I don't use my turn signals much around London anyway!)The hornet was the first time the guys at justmotorcycles had ever attempted such a conversion,but they perfected it further and tidied it up on the K1200s and pretty much nailed it on the 900 divvy

I lost the use of my arm in a typical SMIDSY(Sorry Mate I Didn't See You)accident,car driver not looking where she was going etc etc.Damaged all the nerves in my right arm(brachial plexus injury)which left me with a paralysed right arm.I had an operation to try to repair the nerves but after 3 years of waiting for something to happen,I only recouped my pectoral muscle.So I decided to cut my losses :downsrim: and get it amputated

I'd go cuckoo if I couldn't ride Scrapez!Yeah I used to ride normally,started riding in 95 on a kdx 125,then a cbr 250,then a couple of fzr 1000's (genesis then an exup with usd forks),followed by a gsxr1100 wp(I don't care what the press said,that was one of the best handling bikes I ever rode)and finally a '99 zx-9r in 2001 when I had my little mishap!I waited about 3 years to see if my arm would recover but it didn't,so I just said "fudge it,i'm getting another bike!" Which was a 600 hornet.The worst part of learning to ride again was remembering where the brakes were!Barring that it was probably about 3 months before I was fully confident,and I've been riding like this for about 6 years now and it's second nature now,even did a track day last year

You're an inspiration. It's awesome to see that picture of you tossing around a K1200 on the track...that's not a light bike.
