  1. my brother is looking to pick up a 2004 GSX-R 1000 this week, it looks like this, i didnt take any pictures of it.

    83596d1173720103-2002-gsxr-1000-red-black-silver-my-rbs-1000-1-5-.jpg

    the bike was laid down, only damage i can tell is the side of the front fairings are cracked. Has 12k miles. I took it for a ride, rides good 'in my opinion'

    being sold for 2400 plus tattoo work from my bro...

    Im thinking its a great deal...

    as i've only owned one motorcycle... is there anything i should be checking out for when giving the bike a second go round and check,

    like something that shows any signs of breaking down, that only experienced riders would be able to tell??

  2. doubt there was dew on the freeway

    sounds like you were riding her ass & not paying attention

    not even man.. i play it safe.. that's why i was able to walk away and ride home.. it was 40mph in traffic, down to a complete stop, right where columbus state is on 670, before 670 splits to 71.. cars will ride the left all the way until the last moment and try to squeeze in, and some even come to a complete stop and wait until someone lets them in. I happened to be on the left lane when that happened, I braked.. lost traction and the rest was history.

  3. Glad you are ok, I have heard mixed reviews about those fairings on Ebay (the ones from China) maybe you can find a set of take-offs from someone making a track bike. Unless your driving record is terrible I would shop around for a better price on your insurance bro, sounds like they are putting it to you. I know I don't ride a SS bike but my full coverage is like 22/month for my Z750 through State Farm.

    lol. i know right, im cutting it off and putting it into storage this month.. My payments are only 180 for the bike... so im paying for an additional bike with the ins..

    Got into a little fender bender today, Lady Driving a Jeep hit the brakes on me on the freeway. I was just thinking when i walked outside this morning how there was alot more morning dew than usual. I even ran my foot on the ground at a stop to see if it was any slippier than normal. seems like it was..

    No major injury to myself, other than a sprained left foot/ankle.

    However my zx looks pretty hurt, my wallet will be hurt later from parts and the er. and my pride suffered some injury as well. :mrgreen:

    I do not feel like turning this into insurance. Its already expensive enough at $170 per month..

    Im looking at these ebay complete fairing packages, they run about 5 to 7 hundred. But i dont want something thats not reliable and looks cheap.

    Do you guys have any suggestion on where i can get some good quality replacement parts/fairings. My footpeg also broke off, and my side mirror.

    Is there a bike mechanic you guys can recommend so i can have her checked out, to make sure everything is still straight and in good order. I was able to ride it home and did not feel any vibrations, and there were no fluid leaks.

    Thanks a bunch.

  5. We park as a group, just meet at the CC parking lot across the street at 7PM. We all roll out together and park in one spot.

    I plan on going up there right after work.. in about 15 minutes.. but next time i'll meet up at CC, btw, which cc is it? the old polaris one?

  6. CBRGirl, I read that as "Lets go Penis" at first and realized it was pens. Thought that was weird.

    Welcome to the site...thats a hell of a first bike. Hope it works out as well as it did/does for me. Love me some 636s.

    Yeah man, everyones told me it was a bad first bike. Made me nervous as hell getting on it.. But i feel real comfortable with the throttle control and bike overall. Im happy with the purchase.

    Plus, i didnt just jump on.. i did hours and hours youtube video watching lol.

    I did however, take it on the freeway the first day I purchased it. Gripped the handle bars so hard, i could barely move my arms the next day.

  7. Bar just re-opened with new owners. They're doing bike nights on thursdays, with a live band called Kicking Dixies??,
