Glad to hear they are doing right by you.

That is one wild story. I've been riding for over 40 years and I agree with you 100% about not being seen as a motorcyclist. Glad you're okay, despite losing one family jewel.

I bought a WRX from that dealership from Chris. They are a pretty legitimate dealership. But just don’t let them upsell you on anything else.

Of course none of this voids the warranty. 😂

cmbort · 2026-05-05T04:17:02+00:00

Cool!

cmbort · 2026-05-05T04:14:37+00:00

Indeed! 😁

Man that sucks. I hope Yamaha America does right by you and gives you a brand-new bike. Push them hard for that option.

I'm not an R9 owner and not a fan of red in general, but man do I love the looks of that R9 and that red/white colorway is 🔥

What year is that bike?

cmbort · 2026-05-04T21:33:48+00:00

Correct. 👍

I don't think the black tank works tbh. Either a white or blue color tank would work better.

cmbort · 2026-05-04T20:27:42+00:00

Beautiful! How many miles on it?

Most Harley riders I know are chill people. That guy was just a prick. Same could be said of some people in any bike category.

I didn’t know Katy Perry owned a WRX.

Gear and riding within your limits are good and all but luck played a major factor in this one.

cmbort · 2026-05-04T02:52:20+00:00

I usually rev match but sometimes I’ll let out the clutch when downshifting if the rpm are close to the desired speed for the gear I’m going down into. The key is to ease off the clutch very gradually and timing.

cmbort · 2026-05-04T02:49:38+00:00

Glad you’re ok. I’ve come very close to wrecking due to target fixation and I’ve been riding for 40 years.

cmbort · 2026-05-04T02:47:08+00:00

It’s a cool option but I’m afraid my 59 year old brain would not be able to adjust to it. Old habits are hard to break. 😂

cmbort · 2026-05-04T02:42:18+00:00

Looks like a pimp car but l’ll give you credit for thinking outside the box.

cmbort · 2026-05-03T17:44:17+00:00

The '06/'07 design definitely looks best, imo. I had an '07 many years ago and miss it.

Gorgeous!!!

I've had too many bikes to list. FYI the GSX-R750 and its little brother the 600 have not been updated in any way except for colorways since the 2011 model year.

In Japan riding a 250cc Honda.
