Yeah, I hope I can get the bike I want soon...I'm thinking about the Interceptor...do you know anyone who has one? Any comments on it? I still have to sit on one to make sure it fits me well.
nope, sorry... don't know anyone having or selling an interceptor.

i do know someone selling a sweet 2005 powder coated all balck CBR600RR but im not sure if he still has it.

went riding to sand canyon w/ my new friend weegee...

meeting place.
Image


weegee's bike... honda CBR954RR
Image


pics from rest stop lookout...

i must say, that i get tired faster when im wearing my 1pc suit... i need to wear it more often and get used to it.


then...

we met up w/ another rider, mike and his bandit600S.

we rode tujunga and it's much more faster turns but there's this one part where it's all gravel so im glad i wasn't leading or else, i would have made a huge mistake.

here's shots from a tujunga rest stop area...

the gixxer, the CBR and the bandit.
Image
Image


overall it was a fun ride... they even complimented me bec i was able to keep up w/ them eventhough it's my 1st time in that canyon. :D

we decided to go to the hollywood bike night... we took a canyon road, damn! canyon riding at night is a whole new world.


HOLLYWOOD BIKE NIGHT! ... it's like a sea of bikes out there.

long beach bike show...

there were mostly custom choppers and cruiers... i only took pics of those that appealed to me but there are a lot over there.


parking lot... my bike looks like an alien.
Image

Image



my bike on the dyno... it was very disappointing.
Image

Image


overall, i spent $50 for everthing... it's cool to see at least once but i don't see myself going back there next year.
