94 ZX-6 Ninja. I got it used for cheap.

 

This is the 1st bike I've ever owned & I haven't rode regularly for years. I was smart & took the MSF course though & I've been takin it out after work & shakin off the cobwebs on my riding skills :lol:

thanks :)

 

I forgot how much fun it is. :lol:

 

I figured a cheap bike is good to start. If I make some mistakes on it I'm not gonna be all that upset like I would be on something nicer/newer.

 

It's also an older 600 so it's not as powerful as the new ones. Definitely powerful enough to get hurt though if you're not careful.

Maybe I should start the panzy thread :lol: but I'm fittin' to pick up a used Vespa LX150 for commuting 15 - 20 miles or so into the city as I'm working a lot now and moving further out into Queens. I keep eyeballing them all over Manahattan sidewalks and it looks like a great option. I don't want to commute on my Interceptor all that much. I fear theft and more so, damage in the drinking areas where I work.

Very. I knew backlash was imminent :lol:

 

But crap, 75mpg, no parking problems, a little scooting fun > being scoffed at. Besides, every single European I know has one and every European town I've ever visited are crawling with these.

Yep. Here in midtown too. Though illegal to park on sidewalks, the PD seems extremely tolerant. I've never seen one ticketed or towed. Just about everyone does the "Velcro license plate" trick - taking it with them when they park. I do fear imminent crackdowns at some point however.

They did do a crackdown here outside one of the buildings. This guy said all the tickets would get thrown out though b/c they'd rather have a bunch of vespas out there than a bunch of cabs.

Hmm, it must just be illegal where you are, because around here and in most states anything under 50ccs is treated like a bike, which means you can use bike racks and or the sidewalk. also with a 50cc or less scooter you dont need a motorcylce liscense, just a drivers id.

I FIGURED IDE POST THIS IN THE CORRECT SPOT, lol

 

Well once a month you can submit your bike for Bike of the Month on the 675 Forums so Im going for it this month . Now that my exhaust is mounted & stuff. I went Down town here in Toledo Ohio on Sunday & took a bunch of pics heres the ones I submitted so well see. Let me know what ya think . I was looking for some real Industrial areas like beat down but man it was so hot I took about 125 pictures. Bike is a 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 with a few things done to it. I painted the rims Gold & black to match the stickers, had the upper triple tree , rear sets, passenger pegs, shifter, brake lever, kick stand all powder coated black. Just added my AWESOME ixil exhaust. Let me know what ya think. I took all the pictures with my Nikon D80 great camera .

You have a great bike. What did you get for riding gear?

 

The great thing about motorcycles is that even if you're an old guy, chicks dig 'em.

Thanks :) I'm havin alot of fun with it. It's been years since I rode regularly like I said & I've never had my own so this beats the hell outta borrowing a friend's beater bike :lol:

 

I'm definitely getting something newer by the start of next seaosn though. I got some cheap icon gear for now. I figure when I get something new I'll get nicer new gear to go along with it ;)
