Hello all!
Just picked up an '09 Street Triple on Saturday and already loving it. Almost took the plunge on the new RS but decided to make the financially responsible choice, yay for adulting!
About myself: Been riding for 13-ish years with about a 5 year hiatus in there somewhere. Grew up in the bay area and used to ride 9/Skyline/84 every weekend when I was in college (life is more distracting these days). Looking forward to making my first track day this season. Previous bikes are '97 ZX6R and '97 Bandit 600 so I'm stoked to be riding something more modern.
About the bike: picked her up from a family man for only $2500 who put 39k miles on her commuting to the city. Mostly stock but that will change :grin2: and barely a scratch on her. She gets new Pirelli Angel GTs and a service at Munroe this weekend then riding her to SD to see how she treats me on long boring straights and thrilling twisties.
I've got a few buddies to cruise around the bay with but am always down to add to the wolfpack so if you're in the area let's link up!
Mods on the way:
SC Project GP-Tech exhaust
'09 Daytona rear shock
engine covers
axle sliders
levers
bar-end mirrors
eyes out for Daytona forks
and if anyone has a black or carbon seat cowl they're trying to get rid of let me know
