Title: Thank you
Post by: ragecage23 on October 14, 2015, 09:10:22 PM
It's official. After my collision the insurance company has totaled my bike. Which means I'll be moving on from here. Thank you all for your help throughout the years. I'll still drop by every now and then, but not too often.

For those who are interested I'm looking at an '07 Kawasaki ZX-10R. 19k miles for just under $6k. I've been wanting to move up in engine displacement for a while, so I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.

Take care guys.

Hang around my friend hang around. many of us no longer have a gs. yet its like a huge semi dysfunctional family. dont think ill be back on 2 wheels but 3 for sure. litre bikes are friggin insane. you wont get bored of that one. if you did you might as well hang it up. i take that back, you MIGHT get bored if youre stuck in traffic and crawling. how did leg feel on the beast?

You wouldn't believe how comfortable that bike is. The seat plus the fairings act as a wider seat, I can't wait to take it on the road. But tell me why the first night I have the bike me and the missus get into a fight about it.

Have fun and be safe!

Back in the day I had a KZ1000, after I got over the Hp, I came to the conslusion that I didn't need 100+ Hp to ride out in the country to unwind, again..be safe!

Sweet ride :D Sort of bittersweet I guess, great new bike but it always sucks when your machine must RIP

I'm going to pick up a 2013 ZX6R on Friday myself. Can't wait! :icon_mrgreen: ( <== team green cheese face lol)

Not parting with the GS though, too great of a daily rider for me to sell it.

Beautiful bike! Maybe it's time to update your signature, I'd think. :wink:

Nice! Hope you enjoy that. To be honest the GS was getting boring for me.
