    Yay, I'm back!

    Whats up, everyone!

    I was a member a couple years ago and had a 2003 Yamaha R6 at the time...loved the rides and meeting everyone when I had my 03. I knew i'd have another one and was planning on getting one this winter but I stumbled upon a 2008 (which is the year I've been wanting) which really caught my eye and I basically just kinda had to have it.

    So, I'm back!

    Picked it up a couple nights ago...

    2008 Yamaha R6
    6700 miles
    brand new Q3's front and rear
    Graves full titanium exhaust
    KN filter
    Ohlins stabilizer
    pcv
    autotune
    flush fronts
    integrated rear
    sliders
    shorty/adjustable levers
    vortex rearsets
    tank pad

    Picked the bike up for 7k - it was a little more than I would have spent if i would have waited for winter and also if i would have gotten stock but since there is so much in in already with parts it ended up being cheaper than me doing it myself. Plus, all parts only have 2k on them so good deal! P/O also included all service records, amsoil for the next oil change, all stock parts, and all manuals

    So far i've got an order in for a new dark smoke screen as well as feeling out for a dyno tune as even with the autotune its not "perfect"

    Looking forward to bike nights, group rides, and meeting new faces as well as reconnecting with the old ones!!

    Welcome back dude, been a while. Good to see you got back on 2 wheels man. The 08+ R6 are badass, they dominate at the track too. Nice pick up man

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Definitely, man...also good to see you're back on 2 as well! Remember when you were forced to sell the R1 a few years back...looking forward to getting out with you again!

    Yep!! Got a few things in the works for it to improve it a bit more but i'm very happy with it as is since the p/o did some tasteful (and expensive) mods to it - also provided me the receipts for everything and all records

    Re: Yay, I'm back!

    Haha, I dont think i'll ever have the wave runners or a boat lol...had friends with boats that all agreed with the same saying - two best days were buying it and selling it lol

    I did recently sell my 400ex, though! Kinda miss that every now and then...took up way too much room though

    Just a quick update on the bike as well...

    ZeroGravity dark smoke screen - ordered
    New race stands - Ordered
    New grips - Ordered
    Smog block off plates - Ordered
    Bauce Racing ECU flash - Ordered (sending the ecu out on the 10th)
    Dyno tune - In the process of setting up - shot a few emails out to some shops and hoping to get it set up in the next week or so (this will be done after my ecu flash)
