Back from Riding 2006 10R! (PIX)
All I can say is WOW!
If this bike is heavier, you CAN NOT tell.
One thing I know.. IT IS FASTER.
Tired.... need a shower... I'll post of some photos in the next 20 mins and then hopefully later tonight get the shots from the track...
Oh... and another thing... getting lapped repeatedly by Roder Hayden, Tommy Hayden and Doug Chandler is both depressing and entertaining at the same time! Kinda like have a front row seat for a race.,..
those guys are NUTS!!

Great pics Fish.
I like the bike but I still think the exhaust looks like shit.
Maybe its just me? 
Edit: P.S. - The Banghead icon needs work. LOL

I tell you what, those bikes look good except for the undertail exhaust gaurd. They do come off.

He's got a daunting job, could I start a Mickey Mouse website and get to do that? Does Kawa pick up the whole tab?

The windshield and upper cowling sure are laid back at a radical angle............probably go through the air real well.

Did you roll on the 209's? I have a few take offs, I think they're very good once warmed.

This is one of those unusual cases where something looks much better in "real" photos that in studio "managed" photos.
E.g. this one of your pics:
Of course one would want to do a parachute-ectomy on that extension holding the rear reflector, but that's another matter, no problem.
But really in just about every one. Somehow, it has shapes and aspects that in "studio glossiness" are bothersome but in the real world look OK. Well, so much as pics in the real world, denote the real world (moreso than studio pics, less so than in person of course.)

Hey baby - glad you had a good time.
( wish I was there!)
Great shots.
Nice 'bikeland' leathers.
Have a nice cold one - looks like you earned one after 'working' so hard playing 'rickie-racer' all day!

You look like a big guy, how much do ya weigh??
I'm 240ish, wondering if it's too soft from the factory, and if I'll grind off my lowers if I buy one. I'm betting it's the usual 150lb dood set up?
thanks, Jeff
