Title: Rev'd going by a gsxr 750... and he chased me down
Post by: ohgood on April 15, 2007, 04:34:40 AM
I was on my way back from test driving a fo-do-crapbox (it gets rainy in florida) and I rev'd a little turning RIGHT at a gixxer.

I did a 6 check later and noticed him tailing.

At the next light he came alongside and said: " I know what that is, and I NEED it for my wife to learn on! Sell it to me! "

Anyone that noticed the thread about a local shop almost killing me knows I won't consider selling it for a while.

Stopped for a while at a gas station and he looked it over, while I 'tested' his for my 6'4" frame. He was seriousely going to go inside to the ATM if I said yes.

He said when he heard it, he KNEW what bike it was and almost got creamed trying to get around the intersection traffic to catch me.

Man, for a simple carburated 500cc, this thing generates alot of interest.

Yes, the gixxer's exhaust note was a nasty nasty thing. Yes, it should be banned from all roadways. Yes, it makes rediculous power.

er, can I have it mommy ?

Yeah, my friend suggested that we trade bikes for a while once I get mine all straightended out so  that his GF can learn to ride.

I had a guy on a GSXR600 offer to buy mine to use as a daily rider to keep the miles off the GSXR.  I told him $2k.  We traded numbers he said he'd think about it.  I offered to straight up trade and I'd take over payments on the GSXR, he didn't like that idea too much :laugh: :laugh:

Thats funny. 

All day long on message boards (not this one) I see people saying "Start on a 600/1000/750 bike or else you'll get bored with a 250/500!!!"...... *until* its their girlfriend or their sister that is learning to ride.

Then its all: "WTB a used 250/500 for gf"

Heh-heh.
