So I went and bought this yesterday. You'll be seeing much more of me :hellobye Lets hear it for the Venom squadron!

A moment of silence for the lost (and stolen)

Congrats, and welcome!!!

well at least you got a better bike, give us some details on it? welcome to the forum

Good news, will help you get over the loss of you other bike.... I think you will like the R1 better then you 900, my 02' is far better then my last 929, which was no slouch-

hey wtf! What are you doing on here man! This is Johnny! you remember the weird illegal living in Cali riding around on an always beat up 02 R1 being afraid of cops pulling me over!?? thanks btw for that treat at steakhouse one chilly night in cali.

reading your profile I see you're back in Georgia, and I guess you're back to being "one of those pricks" again. ;) j/k Wouldn't have recognized you unless you mentioned the 900rr (sorry to hear it got stolen!) and that picture of you in your squad-car. I have that very picture on my computer for some reason. No, aint gay. I think Krystle at motopro sent me it. And wtf were you doing messing around with her while i was gone? eh! .. haha. Sorry. I'm just kidding around.

I'm the founder of this website and glad you're taking use of it. Although I sold it to Shane (SpidermanSS) while I was in cali with some money issues... lol.

anyhow, it's fricken way past my bedtime and momy tells me to go to sleep. :p

OMFG! Johnny the SWEDE!!!!! I was thinkin about you guys the other day. Note how I still give props to my NCL roots! Thats so awesome man. You'll have to come out to GA sometime and hang out with us here. My 900 got stolen 3 months ago. It meant a lot to me since I had taken it to California and back and it was one of a kind. I just picked up this 00 R1 from my cousins dealership. How did things work out for you? Obviously you're still here. Hows things in Cali?

congrats and welcome:hellobye

Heres a pic I had of you from the NCL site Johnny

and a pic of your engine that you blew out on the road to Vegas

and the hole in the crank case

I pointed you out to all my friends when I saw you in JD2 Johnny : )

cool, lets go ridin :cool:

I live in marietta too btw.

Good to have ya here :rock

:scared

Sorry about your loss, and congrats on your new purchase

Hey mike! Glad you remember me and point me out in the JD2 video to your friends. I'm apparently in some more videos cause of that that wreck. A video called "Stunts gone wrong" or something of that nature. Whatever that makes you famous right? haha :crash

Nah! I'm back in Sweden. I was cought by fricken 6 INS agents outside of work in Oceanside late july 03. The girlfriend I had at that time went ballistic. I have proof by email that it was her calling up the INS telling my whereabouts. Girls are backstabbers that's for sure. Sorta knew that about her already though. Not sure why i ever hooked up with her. Crazy biotch!

I can't "ever" come back to the US. Sorry man, I wish. But I got a so called "deportation" while waiting my my cell (prison, held there while waiting for papers and shit to clear). Kinda weird how I was "such a threat" to put handcuffs on me, and also cuffs on my feets... AND a chain in between... and also put me at gunpoint at first. nice huh? Like hey "i'm gonn beat you up and strangle you with this chain here". funny stuff really. Quite an experience to be honest.

Only thing that can get me back is... Money. Yep! Money for a lawyer to fight for my "rights". Which is gonna be hard. I'd need a real good cause for them to forgive me and allow me back and a few good names on a "petition" for me. But since that is probably never gonna happen I've started to realise I'll never meet any of you all again. I've seen some videos from back in Cali and every time I feel an ake that I've lost a whole lot of good friends.

Anyhow, since I came back to Sweden I've actively competed at the track. Roadracing you know. Came 5th in the finals in a support class for the main class. Next year I'm qualified to race in the main class, Nordic Superbike so that is my plan for next year. Right now busting balls to find me a good sponsorship and it appears as if I've fond one to take care of all my bills. So next year's gonna be a good year!

I love my 04 R1s!! so freakin' awesome bikes! Completey stock I'm hauling by the GSXR1000's. That's just so much better than with my 02 R1 where it was the opposite. I hated how the sukis got past me on the straights.

Anyhow man! Let me know if you ever become involved at BCIS (INS) and can hook me up with a greencard :p ...otherwise, it was nice knowing you. You were a really genuinly nice person.

If you're ever in Sweden some time, you know you have a place to stay at (me and my girlfriends place). cheers

:thumbup Nice bike. Reminds me of my first "one"... Got an alarm?

btw mike! here are my bikes! My street 04 is getting a paint job as we speak. Getting it back next weekend! I'll post up pics again as soon soon as the sun comes out (rarely).

damn they stole from a cop :lol HOLY CHIT . I seen it all! Takes balls!

Well Johnny, If you ever need a name on your petiton, I'll gladly put mine on it. Just let me know. Glad to hear about your racing triumphs. You must have a real job now to be sporting 2 R1's! Told you that crazy bitch you were seeing was gonna get you ****ed over! Shoulda ditched her when Tony said so!

Thanks! i actually contacted Mr Terminator (senator of CA) and got a reply back a week ago or so (took 3 months). Apparently I contacted the wrong office. I have to talk with .. let's see what it says here. "The Honorable Dianne Feinstein". A well souped up story about what happened, a list of names with rank telling I'm a "good person", might help my case. Hey, "land of opportunities"... we'll see. I got all winter to prepare such a document. I'll contact you again later on incase it ever happens. I sorta lost faith in it.

Yes, I wish I had taken your advice. :(

I'm have my own business here. I also own swedens largest website for motorcycles (www.sporthoj.com). So I get a lot of good contacts through that site. Doing mostly computer related programming work. It's a little up and down when it comes to earning money.

I actually will have three 04 R1s by the end of next year, unless I crash and completely trash one of them. :p Did I ever mention I like R1s.. haha. :lol

I'm heading to Spain in December for pre-season practicing. And then one more time in March. All in an attempt to be ahead of my compeditors.

Your site looks cool Johnny but I couldnt translate it lol.. I brought the new ride home today but had to come straight to work so I'll have to wait till tonight to lust after it.:bow

You buy the R1 from WOW motorcycles? Kinda looked like there warehouse of bikes there. I f so did you happen to see any RC51's there, last time i was there they had a nice RC51 that i almost bought. Gratz on your purchase sorry bout the CBR and welcome to the R1 world you'll love it.

Here's my two babies which i would never get rid off the 98 has 41k miles!:rock
