I rode a rigid chopper the other day and I now know I will never want a bike with no rear shock. It was cool and got plenty of looks but it ain't me.

did you see the RZ350 that i posted about the other day? Man i want one of those. And a KH 500 or 750 lol. I wish that we had never gotten rid of our old YZ 490 and my Kawasaki Mojave 250 atv. It was my first real sport quad and to this day i would put it up against anything when it came to riding wheelies or jumping. I used to take stand it up from a dead stop and top it out on a wheelie  .
I should have also never gotten rid of my 89 yota 4x4 with 4.88 gears, lockers f/r, 4" lift, and 35's. That thing somehow managed to get me into and out of places that most people would never even consider. Sometimes i'd have to talk someone into considering it to come try to get me out though lol :P

I have to agree with you on the 05 1000. I had the opportunity to ride 07 and 05 GSXR 1000 and they are truly more
powerful and torquey on the 05 version. Both my buddies had one and i love the personality of that year engine(05).

After having it online forever I finally sold the Turbo Busa. A guy drove down to Alabama from IL. and wanted to see it run. Which I don't blame him. It had a stage 2 velocity kit with some upgrades. Dynoed 417 rear wheel H.P. The most power he had been on before this was a Busa with a dry kit. I figured what the heck might as well let him feel some real power so I set the AMS-1000 on a soft ramp to 20 lbs of boost. After a few minutes of debriefing he made a pass down the 1/4 mile. He left good and as the power increased he finally just let out of it. Came back and said he would take it and he had never felt anything pull so hard that it actually scared him. He loaded it up, I signed the title and he was on his way. I spent all weekend hiding the money from my wife and daughters till I could get it in my account on Monday. It was a great bike but required a lot of Maint. you had to put new bearings in it about every other year and loved clutch plates. 99 turbo busa with 1735 original miles.
This was my 1986 mint GS1150E. All original paint. had a phillips pro cycle head with a 1327cc piston kit. lock up clutch and an electric shifter. 40mm RS flatslides on it. web cams. It was a street bike. Here I was taking it down the track. just for a fun run. some friends just wanted to see it go so I made a quick one time pass on it. a great bike.
And then there is the 1985 GS1150ES Turbo that I still have. It's a big block monster with basically a detuned pro mod motor in it. This bike will still haul the mail and takes a pretty good rider to handle the brutal power it will deliver. I made up to 28 lbs of boost with it but that's just when you want to show off and do 120 mph burnouts or lift the front wheel at over 100 mph. I mostly run it at the track around 12-13lbs. I don't even ride it much anymore. I am currently trying to trade it for some type of cruiser bike. Still has the original Mr Turbo exhaust.
also I sold my 1978 Kawasaki Z1R on Ebay and it went back to Japan. I wish I would have kept it.

I miss my RC51. The guy I sold it to got it looking and running like shit. I had some good times up in the hills of West Virginia while away at work. Should have kept it and made it my track bike.
I also miss my 12. I only sold it cuz I was chasing the 14 and couldn't justify both bikes in the garage. That as well as my ZX-11 in the background lol.

Yep, thatz her. You do really stupid things when you're a racer strapped for cash with a blown motor on your racebike. It's a sickness and there is no cure....

My 2000 blue and silver Suzuki Hayabusa. I absolutely loved that bike. Sold it in '03 for the silver GSX-R1000. Should have kept that bike forever. The 2 bikes I have right now will be with me for a very long time - GSX-R1000K5 with work and my '06 ZX-14. Love them both!!
