Like the title states I am new and am located in the same county as the Tail of the Dragon.
I have been lurking/searching and decided to finally join.
I picked up my first sportbike - a 2005 Ninja zx6r 636 – almost 3 months ago and have loved every minute of it. It had a Yoshimura RS-5 muffler and K&N air filter on it, along with Gator Skin covered seats and double bubble tinted windscreen. Other than that, it was stock. It had 4480 miles when i picked it up and now has about 7200 on the odometer. I don't know how some of these guys buy bikes and don't have the desire to ride them more often. The only thing that has deterred me from putting more miles on it has been the rain :D

Clear Alternatives Integrated Taillight
Euro Front flush signals
Custom Fender Eliminator
Painted pegs and shifter assembly gunmetal

Seats: Cool, but don't really flow with the rest of the bike
Crooked exhaust and big signals

At the MotoGP in Indianapolis: A buddy an I went and trailered the bikes there.
Hopefully I can get more riding time in before the cold weather hits!
