The racer I got my tires from is around there. Been racing for lots of years, and he still has two SV650 racebikes and two 1000ss? Ducati racers and an Aprilia Mille for the street.

68 on the left and 41 on the right. You don't see no stinkin' cruiser there.

PS Go Naked!!!

My wife and I are BOTH older than you and ride sportbikes....and love it !!

With gear on no one can tell how old you are anyways.

Having said this...ok...most sportbike riders are in their 20's it seems so no I don't "hang out" with them when not riding but when on the bike and on the throttle...WGAF...you know ?

If I'm counting correctly (old you know

) I've owned 8 sportbikes and 1 cruiser and am already looking forward to the 2009 R1 and what changes Yamaha may have made.

Yep...two "geezers" heading out...

Oh yea...I didn't vote because none of the options were good...you're not too old.

One day...when we can swing it we plan to maybe buy two cruisers and KEEP the sportbikes so we can "cruise" with the Harley crowd and "run" with the sportbike crowd.

The '09 R1 is sure to be 100% sex.

Well I got the approval. Time to get the bike. I have a deal in the works but we are haggling over trade in price for my bike. Price for the new bike is $1k under MSRP before sales tax. So OTD will be about $500 under MSRP. I'll let you know Monday what it is.

'Monday'?!!

can't, wait , that long. (in a Cap'n Kirk voice) lol.
