Thumbs up Oh BTW, I got a street bike again

Haven't been on here again in a bit (trip can you fuckin fix this thing so I can post from work? ... I can literally access every other motorcycle forum but this one.)

Anyways, I took the plunge and got back on the street after a year and a half of track-only and racing. Once in a while you just feel like going for a rip.

Two race bikes can't do much for me in the off season and between race weekends, so I bought the quintessential hooligan bike.

2008 hypermotard
pretty much stock besides paint, fender, sliders, handguards removed and crg bar end mirror. I'm not going to do much to it I don't think. I will probably instruct a lot of track days on it so I might throw a slipper on there, exhaust, clutch cover. that's probably about it..

I was looking around for one of these and my buddy told me he knew of one with custom paint... I thought oh, great, I'd need new fairings... cuz I'm not usually into that shit. Then I went and saw the bike and bought it immediately... in person it's just plain sick.

I'm not a fan of custom paint either but that DOES look pimp.

Congrats on a sweet ride.

This was a moment of particular mayhem in the midget garage lol

R6 is in the back there somewhere.

The red motard is my CRF that has a blown motor, rebuilding it this winter.

The KTM was a buddys... he couldn't make the last round of the series and my tard was blown so I raced his. Got two podiums on it too. Nice bike, very quick. Supposedly lots of crank issues with them though.
