If I have enough advanced notice, I'll call them ahead of time and see if I can talk my way down there....

Here are some shots taken by Brandon Bones.
My bike looks like the space shuttle in this..pieces of tiles falling off.

Guys... I think the bike bug has bit me. Took a ride out on my girlies brothers R1.., first time on a bike ever. In fact, all I was going to do was take it out of the driveway and down the street. In reality, took it out of the driveway and ended up on a 20 minute ride around their local roads. Can't believe how comfortable I felt. Ok, stopping the bike at a stop sign was a bit scary.. but addicting.
So, I'm kind of hooked. I don't want a bike of that caliber.., would like something around 600cc. Question is twofold: Whats a good used bike in your guys' oppinion.., don't feel like spending more than $4,500 on my first bike. I'm into the R6 look, but who isn't I guess. Question 2, what place would you guys recommend for a bike training? There are way too many to choose from.., so any local tips would be nice from the 6speeders out there.

Personally I'm hoping I can get back on a bike in the future. I'm looking at an Apprilla RSV-R though

hi bojan my man! yeahhh! bike bug bit ya!
todd fell in love with the R6. but, i'm not sure you'll find one under the price bracket you're looking at unless it's a bit older.
you can always sign up for eastside motorsports track days. they have novice, intermediate, and advanced. both jason and todd did the novice class and it was a great event! i think they both had a really good time. i know todd is addicted and will be signing up for the intermediate class when they post the next one. i'd contact eastside and see when they offer classes. also, you don't have to have bought the bike from them in order to attend.
yeahh! i hope you get one! you can ride with todd and jason and i believe larry (aka: lawin) has a ducati!
