Well, like so many before me, I officially gave up on street riding for the foreseeable future. This was a long time coming, as I couldn't tell you the last time I rode my bike to work or school, but I loaded it onto the trailer for the last time Saturday morning, and came home with an empty trailer and a substantially larger trackday budget for 2011
My brother (and surprisingly enough, my wife) asked if I was going to miss the Kawasaki. It was my first bike, and nothing will ever change that, but I think letting it go now will preserve the fond memories and prevent me from growing to hate all the little maintenance stuff that was going to need to be done over the next year or two.
and the extra space in the garage makes it a TON easier to work on my track bike. I was able to do some drilling for safety wire without having to move any bikes or pull out either of our cars! I could get used to that.
This bike survived my first weekend at the track (ever) 4/19/08 and 4/20/08 with NESBA and if nothing else, definitely makes me appreciate the power, reliability, and insane performance of a (more) modern 600cc sportbike
