    Bike Shopping

    k today i went out looking at some bikes, i headed into red baron again and told them i had finally got my full license. the first bike i took out was a 2005 zxr636 it was nice but a lil uncomfortable and it didnt really have the loud sound i wanted and the blast was short"ahem" second bike i took out was a grey 2004 r6 oh man it sounded nice and just leaving the lights the bike felt like it wanted to take off, it was more comfortable than the 636 and nice to ride. the third bike i took out was a dark grey 2004 r1 oh man that bike really is something, it was real comfortable, a beaut to ride. all three bikes attracted attention especially everytime i rode past that harley and buell place that used to be called shaft up in new market. but the last bike that attracted the most attention was the ducatti 748 it was loud as a mutha farker a sound that i just loveeee, but fark it was really uncomfortable but a beaut bike, it was a red and white one. all these bikes i enjoyed riding, but its too bad my pockets dont go deep enough to get that r1, the guy has given me till tomorrow to make up my mind bout the 636 which i think ill ring him up tomorrow and say no. next week im hoping to go with SB to his friends shop to check out some new bikes and see if i can get a good deal on an r1. oh yeah there was another r1 there but it was a 98 model.

    Well when I get my full licence (prob Feb) I'll be looking at bikes no newer than '97!

    Darn budget limitations.
