banditj13 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 While I am not "new" to the forum, or to Motorcycles, I have returned after quite a long hiatus. Life demanded that the motorcycles got set aside for a while... but I have finally beat back life, and came out on top... for now... Switched from cruisers (CB750c, Magna, Vulcan) to a sportbike, 2008 Honda CBR600rr. I guess it was a "bucket list" thing for me. I never really thought much of the sport bikes, to many squids, and otherwise crazy stupid stuff on the road...but now that I am on one, I realize the excitement of twisties that I was missing (even if I can't carve 'em like a seasoned rider) And before you all say it - no squiding from me... I bought the gear before the bike was delivered... both tires have and will (as much as it remains in my control) remained on the pavement, and the chicken strips are wide, with no desperate plans to shrink them (beyond riding skill development) See you on the road!

TimTheAzn Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Any two brothers is pretty loud in my experience. I loved my buddy's daytona that was de-catted and have a 2 Bros slip on. The sound was magical. Sent from my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
