i probably would have gotten that bike instead of my current bike if saw it on the showroom floor.


a gixxer600 was my first ride ever. scared the crap out of me and i almost droped it. It was after that very scary very fast ride did i realize i may want to start small. Good thing too, cause i was gonna buy a GSXR600 the next day, im glad i got my ninja instead, now i just gotta finalize this KLR deal and i can ride again

well, you all know what my 1st ride is. :laughing:

i actually haven't ridden any other 2-wheels than a bicycle. never even got the chance to ride a scooter or mountain bikes.

anyway... hurry up already w/ your KLR. let's practice on rose bowl or hit some mellow twisties.
