Moving up in the world...

Even though I'm a complete STN slacker I had to post this....I'm getting pumped. On my second ZX9 the mileage is getting to the point that I need to do something before it looses any value...and there are other cards in a row that open up for a new bike. I did an exhaustive search for bikes including K1200S, R1200S, Sprint ST, Speed triple, RC51, and ZX10R. I'm a Kwak bitch...and I've been one for awhile so that was a factor. After looking at all pros and cons I found a nice '06 ZX10R @Bellevue Kwak and the sales guy is being cool...so I think I'm gonna trade in my baby for it next week. It's used....but new to me and while dropping a few pounds and gaining 50HP it's gonna be fun. I can't wait to have FI again...I'm sick of carbs even with the Ivan's jet kit...BUT I can say that the ZX9 was my favorite bike so far...hands down. I'll post pics....

What kind of motorcycle doesn't lose value?
Anyway, enjoy the new bike!

I should have reiterated....I wanted to trade it in before it was worth nothing... Really it's just an excuse to get a new bike

My new baby...besides the fact that the previous owner was a fricken whale and I had to totally reset the front suspension...it's fricken unbelievable. I have HeliBars on the way because I'm an old fart but otherwise just getting used to FI again and crazy power and unbelievable weight. It's time to put farkles and do maintenance for the spring.

Oh..heh. I was putting a RAM mount on under the steering stabilizer so I unbolted part of it and put it on a rag. Why the hell did I take a picture then
