Default So... a bit of an update

A couple of you already know, and a couple of you are about to find out why I've not been on the forums of late. I decided a couple months back that I was gonna start making a few changes. I let the Nismo go so I could get completely free and clear of all my debt, stuff money into savings, and go back to school. I've just re-enrolled at Skagit Valley Community College and I'll probably end up moving to Seattle next year.

I'll set up proper "for sale" threads for my exhaust and coil-overs when I get 'round to it. But for now, here's a pic of the Z's "replacement". I think you'll find that I went in an entirely new direction with this:



'95 CBR 900rr w/ Repsol replica fairing kit, carbon fiber rear hugger, 2 brothers carbon fiber muffler, frame sliders, and other little custom things the previous owner did. I picked it up a couple weeks ago for $3300 and it has 17xxx miles on it.

It's probably a bit bigger than anyone should have as a first bike, but it's been pretty fun to learn on and next week I take the riding course so I can get my endorsement.

And yes, that exhaust does sound like sex.

Too bad you sold your nismo. So after you're done with school do you think you will get a z again?

Wow Jay that sucks. You had a pretty badass Z. The bike looks dope though. Good luck with school and you should show up on the bike to meets still.


Side note: when was the sale on t-shirts in Baby GAP?

Any change to a two wheel is a good change. Anyone can drive a car (good or bad), but not everyone can ride. Good choice. When you get to seattle, we should get a few guys that have bikes on the 350 forum for rides.

Thanks Mark. I'm not sorry about the Z at all. I've owned 3 of them and they're a great car, but I'm just done with the whole thing for now. I've just had a total change in priorities and I'm gonna do something else for a bit. Maybe in a few years I'll do the car thing again, but I just need to get out of it for now.

Oh, and they're Cusco Zero-2's.
