well, ive always loved motorcycles since i was a child. growing up i never really had strict rules in the household as my brother and i never really needed them to behave. one day when i was maybe 18 i went out to buy a bike and my mother stepped in and put her foot down. while i lived in her house, i will NOT own or ride a motorcycle. reluctantly i decided to obey, and the dream fizzled away.

shortly thereafter i moved out, but for the years to come i had always had my N. i didnt usually have passengers and i didn't really drink, so having an N didn't effect my life too much. but it did always stop be from getting my class 6, since the graduated license program for motorcycles differs so much between having your class 7N vs. your full class 5.

anyways, last summer i decided to buy a honda ruckus. i had liked the look of them for a while, and they seemed incredibly user friendly for the wrench monkey like myself. i rode it for a few months and modded it quite a bit, and eventually sold it for downpayment on my new focus. but it was too late, the seed had been planted.

so i hummed and hawwed at the idea of getting my act together and buying myself a real bike. at this point i already know i am way more into the feeling and theatrics of driving far more than just speed. past cars ive had are an NA miata, smart car, and a mitsubishi minicab (550cc two cylinder van). so i knew that just picking up your standard r6 or something was not what i was looking for.

then of course my girlfriend walks into the picture. she has a gsxr-400 (build on here) and knew i had to get my ass in gear. went and passed my class 5 test with ease and started looking for a bike. and last week stumbled upon this beauty, and knew i had to have her.

well, i picked it up yesterday and immediately ripped into her.
