A couple of snaps of my new 2008 YZF R1 (6000kms $13k), My riding enthusiasm has been reborn, it was near terminally dead as I was loosing interest real fast with the KTM it was a good bike but not for me. The R1 is absolutely thrilling to ride and Im looking for any excuse to get on the beast.........just like the old days, to the point where I rode it for two hours in the pissing rain on Saturday.

Next up is to get the suspension tuned in a bit and get some decent rubber for a trackday or two.

My overall impression of the bike thus far is simply outstanding.




also decided to upgrade my leathers, wearing the new "EDGE" jacket and "ESTREMOS" Pants

Nice looking ride. You're much more attractive in leather than in your profile pictures on Adultmatchmaker.com would suggest.

Awesome bike there - well done. And it's great to hear that it is re-igniting your love of riding. Time to have some real fun on your new toy. I'm sure you are grinning from ear to ear each time you take it out, always looking forward to the next ride. Pretty great feeling huh?
