Bikes
by Dave
Like most motorcycle riders, I have owned a bunch of bikes over the years.
2003 Triumph Sprint ST - my first bike, daily commuter, and fun mountain ride. Now in the capable hands of my brother.
2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R - my first sport bike. I started doing track days and racing on this bike. Sadly, I got too fast for her, and blew 2 engines. Parted out to help pay for my next bike. I bought this bike new and built her up into a race bike. I will never do that again...
2005 Yamaha R6 - bought used in 2007. I got really fast on this bike, continued to do track days and race until 2010 (I won more than a few races on her this year). Turns like a dream, and the old girl is still running strong. Now in the capable hands of a NESBA member and friend, Tom Williford.
2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R - two of them, bought new (his and hers) for street riding. Lots of fun!
2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R - race bike, bought used for Lynda to ride on the track, and for me to race.
2009 Yamaha R6 - bought used in 2010, twin bikes. My new race bikes for this year. Fast, fast, fast. But not without problems. Still, these will carry me through the 2010 race season in good shape.
2006 Suzuki SV650 - Lynda's new track bike, used. She will finish the track day season on this, and may race the 250 next year. :)
For those who are keeping count, yes we have 6 bikes in the garage...
