Hi everybody. I'm new to the forum and just got my first Kawasaki.
I'm a fairly experienced rider with one previous bike.
Back in October my best friend borrowed my 2007 SV650S for a week while his car was in the shop.(He's also the one that sold it to me) The day before he got his car back he layed the bike down. The bike still ran just fine but the body damage totaled it out.
It also totaled my friend. He was wearing a his helmet(that came with the bike and didn't fit), my riding jacket, riding gloves, and cargo shorts:banghead. The incident occurred at about 40 MPH and he didn't hit any other vehicles.
He now has permanent brain damage and is missing large pieces of his Calcaneus, Talus and Tibia.(Not broken, ground off by the pavement)
So please! WEAR YOUR GEAR STUPID!!!
As a replacement I just bought a Special Edition Ebony 2008 ZX-6R with 2,400 miles on it. It looks like it just rolled out of the show room. I'll make sure and post pictures soon. In an effort to prevent this bike from being totaled I just ordered a complete Shogun slider set and Shogun front axle sliders(that don't come with the set). I just finished installing a GPS tracker and my Digital Guard Dawg keyless ignition system should be arriving any day now. To make room for all my crap I plan on removing the exhaust servo and locking the valve in place or just removing it all together.
I want to keep this bike running and looking good for a very long time so if you have any suggestions for mods or add-ons that will make this amazing bike better please suggest away. :smile
Edit:
Pulled the bike out of my sister's garage. I decided to start the riding season early since we had this weird winter that is now over :runaway
I only got one picture last night and it's not very good but I'll be taking more on my lunch break today.
