On another note, CEO, are you on any good Yamaha specific forums?

I especially love the part about finally being able to do the wheelie because of having a couple beers. Fucking retard.

I'm not on any that are just for yamahas in general, but I'm on 3 or 4 that are specific to the r6. The best one is one that I am pretty sure does not have an R1 counterpart. Sorry dude... you'll have to search 'em out yourself.

That poor bike.

The sad thing... Gixxers are really great bike, but they have such a horrible crowd that follows them around...

I'm not a fan of the GSXR line mainly because of how their powerband felt to me and how uncomfortable they are(Not saying sportbikes are goldwings but I feel most cramped on a "Gixxer") to me. That's just me. Oh yeah. The 2008s look like they have a Tulip for a headlight. Seriously it looks like a flower.

Here's one thing I found funny. If you ask someone who rides say a 2006 GSX-1000R what they ride. They'll tell you they ride a "K6 Gixxer 1k". WTF? If I'm hearing this right K represents 1000 (Like $3k=$3,000). That tells me they ride a 1006 GSX-1000r(Talk about your vintage bikes).

Why can't they just say "I ride a GSXR1000/750/600"? You don't hear Kawasaki riders saying they have a "Zixxer 10" nor is a Honda rider going to hop on a "Cibber 600". Then damnit if you ride a "Yezfur 6". Or damn what if you ride a KTM. Do you ride a Kaytum?

Either way I don't care. I'm going to go hop on my 2k96 Cibber .6k efthree and do some mad wheelies after I go Sandal shopping at Hollister..

When I owned a Yamaha SecaII I found this forum...
http://www.yamahaclub.com/forums/

The neat thing about it is most of the people are European based but they'll speak English. The bikes they have are really cool and the mentallity over there is so different. A lot of them ride 125cc sportbikes.

Seriously??!? I haven't heard of that - but then I hang with a different crowd. There, we refer to our bikes with numbers... 998, 749, 620, 1098... maybe the occasional M900
