This here was my bottle baby.
I have that almost exact same setup in the one I have left lol. I have too much invested in it to let it go. 
Well hell.... LOL!!!! You been peeking under my plastic?!!!!
, who died only 15 or so minutes apart. One of them used my cellphone to phone his dad to let him know he had a wreck in our work parking lot as he attempted to do what he saw me do a week earlier, ride a wheelie in the parking lot and then he lost control and wrecked hitting the tailgate of a truck and rupturing his spleen . It was hard listening to his father tell me how much his son admired me and wanted to be me (corporate and lifestyle wise) while @ the funeral. 15 mins after his incident, before I could sit back down in my seat @ work, I received a phone call from a buddy's frantic sister yelling and screaming in the phone that her brother just died (hit is head on the concrete after changing the oil in his bike an doing a test run around the block). smh That was too much. Death was all around me that year and my only response was to get angry, get on 35N, and get that new R1 up to 186 mph (last time I looked down).
Well I've never really fit in that most people category. I always tell people don't go too small because you will be unhappy with your purchase relatively quickly. A 1K cc bike is very versatile, it will preform with good manners around town, and get you out of the way when necessary. I think the fz is a good starter bike it is what was the earlier generation R1 without the full faring. That's a very good starter bike and it's just ugly enough not to mess up your current relationship if you are in one. Smart Man! lol
Side note: Since this thread started and I was on here reminiscing about my old drag bike.
I have been searching for one like it. I found a suitable bike to start with. I am supposed to be going to look at it tomorrow if the weather allows. They guy has been trying to sell it for a while so I'm going to go and make him an offer. If I get it I will post up the Pics. I should have never let this bike in the picture above go. Just look at those calipers and roters, Had to be able to make her stop. Man, rebuilding something like this will be fun...Evil Grin!!!
The vast majority of the Motorcyclist community is about respect and a shared love of riding among fellow riders. I'm sure you have seen how deep this thing can go. I have had the last person you would expect stop and try to offer assistance to me when they though I was having issues.
I'M BAAAACCCKKKKKK!!!!! Spring 2016....Look for me, well the bike probably will not look the same but look for me anyway!!!!

Picked up another one today! It's about to be on! A little nip here, a tuck there, stretch this, shorten that and some powder coating here and there she will be beautiful. I paid a very fair price so about 3-4 months and a willing check book and I will be on again. This is all yall fault.....I should have never came in this thread.
Thanks see you @ nationals...
I see it didn't take long to meet some fellow riders around your way.
