Picked my bike up tonight!

ConradM · 02-08-2012, 10:18 PM

I made the, "It's been 12 years" thread a few weeks ago... Well finally got my hands on her.

Here's me picking it up from the seller.

and then everything it came with.

Ride home wasn't bad. We took victory from nampa so I didn't have to go on the freeway. About halfway through my hands started to kill me. But other than that it was nice to be back on a bike.

Chalk up another for the 03-04 zx6r crew.

Clean looking bike

Sethg1981 · 02-08-2012, 10:42 PM

Is that an 03 or 04? I have an 03 and I just saw a post last night sevencell had an 03 as well. Welcome.

ConradM · 02-08-2012, 10:44 PM

It's an 04. Yeah, I saw his thread too... Pretty cool.

EDIT: There's one for sale on CL just like yours right now.

It is mine. every once in a while I post it up for the hell of it for a high price just to see if it sells. Its actually just about 100$ over nada. If so Ill get a newer one if not I dont really care. I did it with my GSXR and got a grand more then I bought it for. Im sure it wont sell but you never know.

Congrats on your bike. It looks very clean. The zx6r's are a fun bike to ride. Notorious for head shake. I would invest in a steering stabilizer asap.

Nice! Another 636 owner. All of us 636 owners have to meet up soon.

As for your hands killing you, just give it some time. you'll get used to the riding position. Plus a damper will help out a little. I've got a scotts damper on my bike.

Hehe, I meant they were killing me from the cold.

Sethg1981 · 02-09-2012, 07:17 AM

Cant complain though cause it should be colder than it's been.

RedStar · 02-09-2012, 07:45 AM

Sweet bike man! Looks really clean!

Congrats, Welcome "Officially" back to the saddle.

scharf2u · 02-09-2012, 09:17 AM

Nice bike Conrad. Now you can load up your guns on it and ride it to the matches like I do on occasion.

Yeah thats what I hear. Im thinking of un wintering by bike this weekend. Of course the forcast shows wet weather. Asshats, I just want to ride.

CBRF2Old · 02-09-2012, 08:16 PM

Nice looking bike!
My only complaint would be that the green is a bit off from your Camaro...

Keep your fingers crossed. I'm hoping to get in some riding in anything above 40 degrees.

Same here. I dont care what the weather is like anymore. I want to ride.

theduckllr · 02-10-2012, 08:36 AM

Right up until you find out how nonexistant traction is on cold tires. Wear your hockey pads.

ConradM · 02-13-2012, 07:50 PM

Got rid of my huge turn signals tonight.

steven32 · 02-13-2012, 07:58 PM
