Last Saturday (2-29-20) William came by the house to retrieve his laptop. He elected to make the two hour trip on his beautiful HD Street Glide. Bike had a cool backstory and I really liked it. Later that day, I was sitting around thinking about bikes and began wondering what I’d want in a bike. I want something reasonably quick that handled good and was lightweight. Naturally, this brought sport bikes to mind. Crotch rockets, cool. So, now what? Research bikes and discuss then with others who know bikes better.

Sunday, I started discussing bikes with several forum members who have bikes and they lent me their perspective on my endless amount of dumb questions. Well, my local friend Shelby saw a post I made on facebitch and hit me up to ask if I wanted one for cheap.

Oh boy! Here we go...

We talked it over and a quick deal was made. I’m trading a rifle for a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 K6 this coming Saturday. It has a little over 11k mikes, some cosmetic issues from a minor accident and needs a few other items addressed.

This escalated quickly.

Found the SET cables disconnected. Trace them to the tail section and they’re disconnected there too. This may explain the FI code.

Yep. That ain’t gonna work like that.

Removed the remaining fairings and removed a craptastically installed toggle switch that was just dangling in there. It was for the fan and it had to go. Fan runs just fine without it.

Took this HID kit out and removed the mirror delete lights. Pulled the upper fairing and headlight too.

The air filter wasn’t too dirty but it’s getting replaced soon.

Some jackass cut the rear valve stem off but this will also be addressed soon enough.

Damn you white!!!! Damn you to hell and back!!!!!!!!!

Of course I’d trailer it to TN and meet you to ride. In fact, I’m on my way to pick up another pistol :)

I’ve actually thought about another bike here and there. If I do ir will be a streetfighter instead of a full on cafe.

If I do I’d be more than happy to meet y’all in Tennessee. Then we’d ride together to North Carolina and hit the tail of the dragon. Been there done that and it’s fawking insanity.

That would be amazing. After I learn the ropes a bit.

I did not like bikes to much
Or never operated one
Till I was working with some of the SF guys
And they have dirt street bikes they train on
Then I started riding a little bit
