I Did It!!! Just Brought Her Home!!!!!!!!! - 4/5/2006 11:35:42 PM    Jet Jockey Z06 Vette   Posts: 371 Joined: 1/24/2006 Status: offline Just wanted to thank everyone for their wisdom & counsel as I've worked towards which bike to get. I just finished today my 3 day MSF riding course & got my Motorcycle license at Road Atlanta. It was a pretty intense school. 10 hours a day. LOTS of riding. The road test was very complete. We had to do 4 major items for the testing as a class. 1. Figure 8 in a tight box. 2. Emergency stops. 3. Obstacle avoidance 4. 90 degree & 135 degree turns Me & one other guy both scored 100% on both the road test & the written exam!! Both of us are in our mid 40s, so we felt pretty good beating the scores of the "young bucks" out there!!! During the class, one of the young studs out on the range came up to me & said, "Dude, you been doing lots of riding haven't you?" I said, "Yeah, over 30 years ago I raced some pretty serious motorcross." He just sorta looked....... So today, I drove home in the Corvette & changed into my pickup truck & headed to the Honda dealer -- Southern PowerSport Honda in Chattanooga. There, I purchased a 2006 Honda CBR 600RR -- and I bought the FAST COLOR ~~ RED/BLACK!!!! Brought her home in the truck & what a view!! Looking back through the glass & seeing that gorgeous sexy shape of an RR right behind me. Got all sorts of looks & admiring glances from the motorists passing by all the way home. Off loaded her with a neighbor's help, then fired her up for the first time!! Put on my gear & have already put about 10 miles on her tonight!!! What a TOTALLY AWESOME MACHINE!!!!! It's just amazing how balanced & adequate this bike is!! I can only say this in closing...BEST lookin bike I ever rode!!!!!!!!!!! _____________________________ Jet Jockey Z06 Vette Post #: 1
