    Smile Got a newer bike. what do you think?



    this is my new baby. it was between this or the wolverine that soo many others already have. so I went with the 05 rapsol. Tricity cycles hooked me up fat. Joe and Sal are pretty friggin awesome guys to put up with me.
    I hope this link for the pic works. I guess we will see.

    You've been riding for a whole 2 months, a liter bike is the obvious choice here. good luck with it man.

    shouldn't have any problem finding Melvin with that bike.

    looks nice and I've also had good experiences with Tri-City.

    I think that one should exempt you from needing an endorsement.

    Yeah I would have taken the comment of "but after a month and a half I think I am doing well. " as that too Josh

    Anyways, welcome to the Honda family. Honestly I do hope you do have enough experience for a 1000cc; people just don't want to see you hurt so don't take it the wrong way. Too many of us have seen this happen way too many times...

    There's only one Repsol rider allowed in the CSC, and you can't compete with him. Sorry, you're going to have to sell the bike.

    Good thing you kept the ZX6R. That seat on the Honda doesnt look very forgiving. Good luck with the Repsol!
