I have been blessed in being allowed to test and ride some neat bikes recently in my life. The coolest overall experience has been riding KTM machinery.
 
I got to personally maintain and ride my very own KTM Super Duke 990. While a bit of a heavy machine and not really well suited in stock form as a track day weapon, I set it up the best I could and did rather well with it in stock form.
 
Of course, sliding it in sideways off the back straight at Mid-Ohio (top speed on the Duke was around 132-ish) was a LOT of fun. Wore out 5 rear tires in the short time I owned it. Hmmmmm.... Wonder why???
 
The RC8 was really cool. Got a video appearance and wrote a decent article about my thoughts. Was one of only a handful who got to ride one of the five even in the country at the time. An honor to say the least...

This is my 750 (05) that I had until 2008 when I sold it in the Summer.
 
Was originally my good friend Reuben's (35 Motorsports) racebike. The pics Rub1-Rub4 show how it started life right before I bought it. It came to me in boxes as Reuben was hurt seriously after a crash at Nelson Ledges.
 
Was probably the best bike I ever owned. Had a great soul and was such a great running bike. A bike that was from bottoms up a rebuild by Reuben and testimony to his build abilities. I just made it look pretty!

GSXR1000. Ex-Vesrah GSXR. About 185-190 rwhp depending on what dyno you run it on, I guess. Neato things:
 
-Full gas charged for internals.
-Yosh EM Pro kit (ECU, Wiring harness, traction control, quick shifter, etc.).
-FULL Superstock engine build.
