My garage is a bike cover 
(when I use it)
Too much junk in my shed to store anything else.

lol... More like "old guy" alert.
When u've been working 20+ years of ur life & don't have to pay for a wife & kids (or alimony or child support), all u can do is spend $ on toys I suppose...
I do get a lotta sh*t from my family all the time about having misplaced priorities blah blah blah. Then I go into the garage, and I feel better
The car on the left is blue. The one covered is black. They are both very old cars and not worth very much honestly. But, they are my babies, and I love them all the same. hahaha

Ahh no wife and kids, that will do the trick
So both bikes are yours? how do you pick which one to ride
Where in L.A. are you?Detrich

Tnx. lol... I alternate between the two. At some point I'm supposed to get rid of one bike, or my sister says she will ex-communicate me. But, honestly I love them both and am learning different things on each. With the 6 it's about speed. With the 1 it's about control. I'm still nowhere close to being as good a rider as say Jon or some of the other guys here. But, I just like to cruise and go my own pace. Hopefully I'll learn how to get a knee down in a few years. lol. I'm in Pasadena.

Who is as good as Jon? lol I don't see getting a knee down in my future. As I rip around a corner I think to myself how much faster would you have to be going to do a full lean over with your knee down and that pretty much closes up that subject !
Your really close to me, just hit up ACH and upper Tujunga on Saturday. We should have an old guy gathering up there!stuna

Lots of people faster than me
I said the same thing when i first started riding. I didnt want to actually ride fast enough to get a knee down at first. It just kind of evolved tha way.

I still want to see Rabbit and Martys Garages, Nismos only got the gixer in there now, poor FZ gone! And how about my yellow friend from Hawaii? we can see what base parking is like.
From the outside with all the lights on:
The audio setup on the control side (Bluetooth, and a laptop setup with spotify) 2 3-way 8" in-wall speakers and 2 10" free air subwoofers.
The opposite wall with the audio.
The bikes resting spot.
Shameless bike pic.

you don't have to go fast to scrape the knee sliders, I've seen good riders do just that on the parking lot.Who is as good as Jon? lol I don't see getting a knee down in my future.

Very true. During a clinic we were putting on for new riders a few years ago a friend of mine was demonstrating just that doing circles around a planter 10 foot diameter at just a few mph on his R1. That was some skill.

Do you guys think the stock tires are trust worthy enough(given a proper warming)?

From my experience, the roadsmarts are just fine. warm them up, and you could drag knee. They don't have the most grip though, but you should be ok. Just don't expect to be able to drag elbow. Get some Q2s for that

You know it's been so long and so many sets of tires since I had the stock tires on my bike and I pushed those tires so little, I couldn't honestly say yes or no. What I can say is that I used Bridgestone BT023s for a while when commuting and they were s#it in the canyons when I started to pick up the pace. From what I know about the stock OEM Bridgestones on this bike, they're harder and less grippy than the 023s. Persoanally, you can't go wrong with Q2s or Q3s.

Condo living
I had this picture on my phone already, lol. Bending the condo underground garage rules a bit.
All vehicles in the foreground belong to me and BF. The green GSXR in the background belongs to a neighbor (though other neighbors just presume it's ours and give us more weird looks).
