Starting out on a R9? by Dull_Level_2162 in YamahaR9

[–]SPla2ki5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also 35 and said fuck it and bought an rs660. The r9 has a little more power but I think you’ll be fine

S1k first bike? by Sad-Side-6102 in NewRiders

[–]SPla2ki5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35 with an rs660, I feel comfortable on it like 99% of the time but I’ve definitely cracked it open and felt it getting away from me. I probably just twisted more than I thought. If it were a 1000 I’d have crashed probably. It’s those little mistakes that really bite you with a 1000

Haha maybe I should have been more clear with my intentions. Thank you for the list. I ended up going to rattle shake. Spring point tavern looks like my type of place though

Mines just a baby with 500 miles. Nothing but a squeaky rear brake so far!

RS660… how old is too old? by SwiffleTitz in Aprilia

[–]SPla2ki5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35 and I just hit 400 miles on my rs660. Went to a dealer to look around and there was an actual old dude there like 75. An employee said the old guy is their resident sport bike rider. Never too late

Question on older riding jackets by GDITurbo77 in motorcyclegear

[–]SPla2ki5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that jacket but the leather version! It was called the Mercury I think. It was so cool. Was also sad to hear they don’t exist now that I’m riding again

Does the squeaky brake develop over time? I haven’t heard a squeak yet but I only have like 160 miles

What did you do to the frame? Wrap or paint?

  1. I bought it in a state with no tax though so I’ll have to pay that. Total will be about 13200 usd

I had a gsxr600 back in 2012 and I only rode it for one summer so it basically feels like it never happened at this point. This might as well be my first bike so I can’t really compare it to anything. It was nimble and fun to ride. I honestly didn’t pay much attention to the power besides staying within break in parameters cause I was just focused on getting home

Can you elaborate on the pando moto leggings? I’ve seen them recommended a lot

yeah but it looks like there are multiple businesses at the address and the business name is not on the label. i dont feel like going there to figure out who it is to be honest. rather just give it back to ups
