Sorry Liz, I may have taken it to far... It was my intention to make you laugh. For the record people, Liz didn't message me but once about forum stuff... It was just a joke....In my defense I didn't like my shout out.....
It should have been along the lines of, your husband is lucky cause you're so hot and awesome. However, I will be okay with you just re-doing it and saying "you're such a bad a$$ chick. I realize that you've only messaged me once with a hello but tone down your awesomeness ok? I know you're not trying to hook up with me for MANY reasons but mainly because your husband is a lot cooler than me and would kick my a$$!"
Ok ok, I'm only kidding about the last part.
But to all of you who don't understand.... I'm not secretly in love with theRook. Daniel Craig? YES!! Anyone else? No. Sorry to disappoint!!!!

Oh man, now I cant wait to get home and watch the vid
As for the trade in. Congrats rook. That bike looks sick! I love the new Kawasakis, they are really on top of their game.
I LOVE watching WSBK, MOTOGP, isle of man tt,ama, MOTORCYCLE RACING! lol but I just don't think I could ever own a SS for daily use. I rode my brothers CBR 600RR for prob a half hour. It's a beast for sure and handles better but I just cant see it practical for me me since I commute and go on long rides (well... used to anyway )
I'll admit, the power on the CBR was... amazing and I loved it(especially the fact that the only power upgrade my brother had done was a tbr slip on..). I think BleedInBlue said it best. I'm too just surprised on everyone trading in for a SS instead of a standard sportbike, along the lines of a Ninja 1000, FZ1, bmw etc. Gotta admit, its sad to see so many FZ6R's go though :/
Again congrats on the buy, have fun, ride safe!

They're only getting SS's because they never test rode a Street Triple. If they had, they'd know that's where it's at.
maybe when they get into their mid 30's they will agree.
But I have the philosophy, I'm riding an ss while my back still doesn't mind.
I see a street triple in my future, 5-10 years down the road.
It's not that I'm too old for a SS. If I had a real track in this state, I'd have one. But seeing how much territory there is to cover to get to any decent riding (an hour at least out of town), a SS just isn't practical or ideal. For road riding, I'll take my bike any day of the week. For twisties, when I finally get there, I'll still take my bike. For in town riding... you guessed it, the ST3 is perfect. Want a more aggressive riding position? Slap some clip ons under the triple tree and some nice rearsets on, and you're good to go. Plus it turns heads everywhere it goes, even when it's turned off.maybe when they get into their mid 30's they will agree.

I did ... and God punished me and now I have nothing, hahahahaha ...
I want an SS. For those who don't know me, I've been riding since the mid eighties. I've ridden everything from Harley's to a Honda that completely owned the track, back in it's day.
I want an SS. But I know better.
Ya'll ever open the throttle on our little FZ6R? I mean open it all the way, through all the gears, just as fast as you can manage to crank on the bar and clutch and shift? Do you push it that much and touch the redline and then then quick-shift to the next gear, so you don't lose the RPMs? Crank that handle back, WOT, and hold on. It doesn't suck.
Edit: It's hard to preach safety, considering the previous paragraphs. If you're going to do that, be ATGATT, be straight, and know what the heck you are getting into. If you think it's no big deal, that's proof enough you shouldn't be doing it.

no it doesn't suck, but compared to a SS you can surely notice the difference.
What's weird for me lately is that on some days I will feel very comfortable turning left but then hesitate on right hand corners... But then on the next day it does a 180 on me, and then I feel more comfortable turning right and start feeling wired cornering left. @_@
After I'm done riding and look at the wear on my rear tire, I can totally see more wear on the side I felt more comfortable on that day. And, the gap between the wear and tire edge is smaller on that side.
But, even so, I still find myself feeling scared to drop down too low on corners- even when I "feel" like the bike can take it.
Watching all those damn rickeymouse crash videos from Mullholland on YouTube have "scarred" me I think. And, I get nervous about crashing.
Am I the only one like this and any suggestions? LOL I wonder how I can improve or get over this problem. x_X
