Default I GOT A NEW MOTOR BEIK and look at my non-squidliness

bought the ninja250, put 900 miles on it in 5 weeks, sold it on ebay and made $250.
Next day i drove 704 miles to winconsin and back (indiana) to pick up the NEW MOTOR BEIK.

05 kawasaki zx-6r (btw i think its about 2-3 steps up from that 250...)
not a scratch on it, 1200 miles, saved about 2000 from buying new. warranty until july 2009.
i got it saturday the 20th, and its up to 1950 miles as of tonight. smmmooooth ride, its like buying a big brother that can kick your *** if you try and beat on him.
prev. owner called her "mary", then promptly changed it to "crazy mary" after the break-in.... i guess he was used to his r6

$700 truck $7000 motorcycle

morning and we're still driving

finally home

for colder days

for hotter days

for days where its cool enough to stand them...

for always


for when i need to carry more than what i can stuff in my mouth

and one of these for when she gets scared at night

Nice bike...just picked mine up off the showroom floor about month and a half ago! I put about 1900 miles on her. The best money I have spent!

WOW that blue jacket is ugly! Are you going to wear that w/your red gloves? That's going to look interesting.

Bike is hot, though. Good to see you picked up enough gear to protect against most things.

One of my friends has that exact backpack, it's very cool.

And it's spelled "BIKE". I hope you mis-spelled that intentionally.

biek = intentional (sometimes i spell my name MEIK if i want it to sound very excited (try yelling BIKE and BACK at the same time, and you would hear something spelled BEIK and it would sound like you were excited))

and the blue jacket was god today when it was 84 degrees at 5PM when i got out of work.

w3rd on not pushing luck with better riders, i still have strips about 3/16 inch wide...

5weeks isnt that long, but, at least you started on something small

nice bike, the 636 is a lotta bike.

this should be a good example for those who say, "OOOH i dont want to lose moeny buying a samller first bike"

Smaller bikes are the only bikes that you stand a good chance of making money on. Bikes like GS500s, Ninja 250/500 can be sold for profit because demand is pretty high. 600/1000cc sportbikes are what take the biggest hit.
