No way dude! That's funny. I am from Ukraine originally, though, came to the states at 16.
Thanks for the offer, gts! I'd love to take u up on that for 2 weeks or so till I get aftermarket exhaust! Email me at Alex The Ukrainian attt gmail dot com with what days work for you. Thanks again!

Hey madness, sent u a PM.
I'm going to sell the bike. It runs great, but family is immigrating to Canada and they need my help with money... bah. Plus later I want to get a liter bike instead for track. You get first dibs.

I know it's sad I can still be ur riding buddy if I don't sell! Or once I buy a different bike after the Canada commitments.
By the way, met someone on silver ZX-14 in Mt Jul the other morning, he works at American Motorsports. Didn't quite get his name b/c of noise, but I think it was Reza - do you know him? Or was it Freek? lol no clue

Yea I've met Reza,good dude,but he was on a 636. Must be a perk of working at a bike dealer. How long will you be gone if you go?
