i come in to work today and my co worker just purchased a new gsx r 600, and we were talking about it, he was telling me a couple things about it and what not, how easy it is to get your permit and liscence and shit down here in n.c, and then he asks if i want to drive it, so i responded,'' fuck yes"....considering the only bikes ive ever ridden have been dirt bikes i was a tad nervous, but i knew how everything worked, i wasnt new to shifting gears on a bike so i took it out on rt 34 which is right in front of the station so if i crash, they can get there real quick with the ambulance and engine, ahha, but anyhow, i took off in 1st and 2nd and i almost shat myself, i didnt even rev past 8k and the bike had so much torque it was frightening, i know its a small bike and you other crazy fuckers who ride the 1000, 1200 cc bikes are nuts, i came back and was pretty excited about it, he told me how much he pays a month for the bike and insurance and its pretty damn good, ive always been hesistant to ever have a bike of my own, and i still am, im sure ill be dancing around the issue for a while before i make any kind of choice, but who knows, i might be riding with some of you guys one day, just thought id share my experience cause im pretty stoked about it......
