Haven't been on here in a while, thought I would update everyone.

The car is down again, it blew another head gasket and one of the pistons started knocking against the bottom of the head. I got fed up with the car and traded it to my dad for a Focus daily and some cash. The car is going to be fixed by my dad and I when we have the time (they are in the process of moving right now) and will be back at the track after she's fixed!

In the meantime I bought another bike to have some fun with, an '06 GSXR-600. I don't usually street race but I was challenged by two cars last night at a local meet. Below is the video and some pics of the bike. Enjoy

Picture of the garage at my parent's new place. Car lift to come soon hopefully!

We're not sure if it's the heads or just the horrible tune it had. Either way the whole engine is coming apart and getting a nice pair of TrickFlow heads and a set of new pistons :)

Thanks! I'm always on my toes. Can't tell ya how many people in cars don't pay attention to bikes.

Thanks man, I've been pulled out in front of countless times on my last bike and this one. Were you wearing a helmet?

Sexy gixxer! As for the exhaust, it's so freakin' loud but I still love it :D

oh hell I didn't even notice the muffler. Is that just a fart-can off of a neon?

It's a Two Brothers slip-on. Loudest legal exhaust available lol.

Thanks Dal! Can't wait to get a lift put in, it'll make things so much easier.

On long trips it does get a little annoying running at 8k at 80mph lol.

Post some more pics of your bike. It looks like the fairings are black and chrome?
