Ive been a bike guy since I was about 7 years old , it runs in my families blood here is a link to my cousins site <a href="http://www.holeshot.com" target="_blank">www.holeshot.com</a>

Him and I have built a few trick bikes in the past , we did a 1990 GSXR 750 with a 1100 bored to 1280 and all the goodies , cams,exhaust,40mm smoothbore Kein carbs , it made over 175 hp at the rear on his dyno.

I sold it a few years back and currently ride a 1996 Suzuki RGV 500 and a 02 GSXR 1000 with 152hp at the rear , Marvac wheels , akropovich titanium exhaust , poewr commander for the fuel injection and a module for full advance in the first 3 gears, also removes the 180mph limiter away. It will paint black marks out of corners at 90 in 3RD and power wheelie over 140 with no problems , and its very easy to controll unlike the 1990 was.

I bought some Ohlins raceing forks for it and an Ohlins rear shock both valved to my weight.

I just sold my 1985 Yamaha RZV 500 last week

There is a pic of the GSXR 1000 on my homepage in my profile.

I have also been a dirt guy{im a YZ490 kind of guy} forever and done some AFM club road racing for about 4 years.

I hired a Honda CBR 900 in Thailand earlier this year. The FireBlade is scarry. Especially after the Enfield where the brake/clutch are on the wrong side. :eek:

I have no license to drive a car, just for bikes.

Had dozens of bikes over the years, Harleys (fuck them), my beloved Ducati 900 SS, Yamaha XV 535, SR 500, TS 1100 and RD 500 (a helluva bike), MZ (a East German brand) ETZ 251, lots of 125 cc two-stroke stuff, a rotten old KTM, etc.

Until spring this year, I drove a Suzuki GSX 1100 G, the best bike I ever owned. Sadly, I had an accident in May which shredded it to pieces (including my left shoulder), so currently, I don't have any two wheels.

My next bike will be a Suzuki 1400, which hopefully will last another nine years like the 1100 G. Have it on hold for spring 2k3 at my fave bike store, so let's see wether I can come up with da ducats... <img src="graemlins/drool.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool]" />
