M3 Owners, what kind of bikes do you have?

In my book cars are a necessary evil, so I went with the best all around one I think. But bikes rule the roost

Surely you can't be serious....

It is an S. And I'm going to dress it up too. Already have BST's on it, and all kinds of other stuff too. Waiting for the Termi full system, but damn if it's not taking forever.

About which thing? They're all true...I can post some pictures I suppose.

Kyosho · 07-16-2009, 03:51 AM

I have a 2004 R6

I ride when I feel like my car gets sluggish.

uthatch · 07-16-2009, 03:54 AM

Here's a couple shots of the Streetfighter and 1098R. The bike under the cover in the SF pic is the Desmo. Not trying to sound like a jerkoff, just don't want to sound like a bullshitter either.

The Desmosedici! I believed you, it's just the fact that they're really rare. Um, yeah if I had one, I'd cover and lock it up too!

Haha, you noticed the lock. My bikes are stored in Hollywood, so I have the back of the bike locked down, the bikes locked together, double door locks, etc...

Yeah they are pretty rare, but it's funny, I have 6 friends with them! LA is crazy that way!

nice bikes, but you gotta hang off that 1098 a lot more and get your lean on the turns

Haha, if I was in a hurry, I would be hanging off. I don't have a chicken strip problem

loving the bikes!
quick question to all you fellow bike owners.
gonna be getting a bike soon and the wife is 100% against it.
question for all you bike owners who have driven on the roads and on the track.
i've been told by friends its much safer to own a bike and just have track days to get your fix and dont drive on the roads due to stupid ppl on the road.
safer to ride on track days or on the road?
if its safer on the track wife might be happy on letting me get one

and i will be taking track lessons and everything before getting started as well

Neither. Probably not what you want to hear, but bikes can be dangerous period. I have a buddy who got injured as many times on the street as on the track. He figured he'd give up riding before he got killed.

That being said, I think it's mostly how careful/smart you are on your bike. If you're really careful and alert, you can minimize your chances of a crash/accident. And also don't do anything stupid like racing on the street.

Very nice. I had an '07 Thruxton as well which was mildly modded. I also had a 2000 Speed Triple, a 2006 Sprint ST and a '99 Duc ST4. Out of all of them I miss the Speed Triple and Thruxton the most.

There's my 07 r1:-)

Cocobolo · 09-28-2009, 08:15 PM

Just bought 2009 Yamaha FZ6R today; never rode a bike and this one looks sporty but with lower seat and higher bars...I first decided on the R6 but changed my mind (concerned since never rode a road-bike before...also my wrists were hurting while sitting in the showroom and talking to the salesperson).

TheKosherStogie · 09-28-2009, 08:57 PM
