    Fair warning.....

    Just heard of a Slo fella rolling around on a green zx10r..... Apologies and warning in advance....

    Most of you guys/gals know me from the GSXR1000 (track bike) and the Busa (street). However I have owned a 98 zx7r, 04' and an 08' zx10r...and now the 2011.

    This is the bike from Kawi that I have been waiting for. The previous 10r's have had power, but never came close with suspension and the feel from just simple turning that this one has already shown me.

    In short.....not having taken this to the track yet, it does not feel "unfamiliar" even on the first 75 miles today.

    "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Re: Fair warning.....

    Exhaust may be coming pretty soon, will grab some frame sliders and tank pad (already scuffed it up a bit on the way home damnit).

    I "may"...... "MIGHT" have the bike safety wired up for a short notice burst at the track, but we will see. This past weekend sucked, having to look at the bike and being too cold to ride.

    Kinda like havin a naked woman at the beach walk by but not being able to show your true emotions and intentions!!!!
