Uhh.. I only have 1 bike, and its a "pure race bike" I don't not like you because you have a "pure race bike," Its because you want everyone to know how much you spend on everything, and how many track days you do, and how fast you are.... Humble is the key big guy.. HUMBLE... I know people with way nicer bikes than you that you couldn't tell they make more than 10 dollars an hour when you talk to them. Your friend can spend 100K on his race bike for all I care, but I have never heard him tell me how fast he is, or how much he spent on his bike. I'm sure you are a good dude deep down inside man, but you just rub me the wrong way. I remember one time at putnam I was coming up behind you for about a half of lap and kept getting closer to you and closer to you and then got a better drive out of the last turn and passed you down the straight.. You came up to me and said "You have a liter bike right?" and I said "no a 600" and you said "Oh you really fast down the straight, but slow in the turns" UHH ok.. I hawked you down all lap, and passed ur 848 which is much faster than my 600 down the straight" then you proceeded to tell me why I was slow in a certain turn" Its just like this thread.. Either stay out of it, or say "yea man that looks like a great bike" Why the hell did you have to write "Why would I want a 25K bike when I have a 35K bike"... If you read the dudes post he put over 35K in his bike THATS WHY!!! And who cares if you put more.. Its like dude, why can't you just go out there, keep your damn mouth shut and have fun. I know you have money, I know your track bike is nice, I know you do a lot of trackdays... Quit telling me that.. Lets go ride and have fun.. Give credit where credit is due.. Quit act like you are an AMA racer.. You can learn some things from many people, and so can I. Quit making excuses when you aren't as fast as someone.. its just a TRACKDAY DUDE.. we are all there for the same reason.. Have fun and go home safe.... LOVE DUBGUY
