Spend, where are ya located at? I'm in Parma/ North Royalton
I'm right down the road in North Olmstead area. Yes, got it from State 8

I hope this weather warms up, so ready for my break in service. Odometer already at 150 miles ...this is day 4 of ownership :)
Wow, That's great! I know the feeling of getting a bike and the weather not cooperating... all too well. 😁 it looks like the weather might be fairly good next Monday and Tues, then some rain after that. My bike is currently sitting on some stands with the seat off. This weekend I will be in the Jeep getting muddy. If you ride this weekend watch out for wet spots, they could be ice, and you don't want salt getting on there. Thanks for the replies.

This is my 3rd 1000cc bike ... technically 4 if you consider my Tuono a liter bike :).... I know the drill. Glad to see someone here local.... I am more of a street rider but definitely leaning towards track riding now.

No shit, I grew up in North Olmsted, and work in Berea
I work in Bedford on the Automile. and many years ago knew the service manager at Spitzer Caddy

I used to race and was also an advanced riding and racing instructor. it's kind of a long story here, but in a nutshell my younger brother passed away and left me 3 GSXR-750s all 2005 (like what I used to race, but mine was a 1996 to 98 model years) So now I can't bear to sell them, and after talking my buddy about getting these, for some odd reason I bought the R1, and soon after was invited back to hit Nelson Ledges, so I couldn't say no to that.. HAHA . in fact I am going to mess with the GSXR for a while tonight, he had one of each color. (Yellow, Blue and white, and 20th anniversary edition) the 1 blue and white I gave to my nephew, the yellow is staying street legal, the 20th was beat to shit and abused and needs a lot of work, that's the one I am messing with to take on the track.

Now for street riding (keep in mind I'm kind of old! 😆) I ride this on the street, and it has sponge bob dolls on it here and there.

There are only a couple of these around the area, so you guy may have seen me riding around here and there.
If you didn't see me, I'm thinking you will this summer.
 
Sorry for your loss!
Ironically I just traded my Honda goldwing F6b for R1. I had a 2017 Honda fire blade which I traded for 2019 Aprilia Tuono. Goldwing is a great bike but I was feeling I am more in a luxury car and not a motorcycle. Send me your in private message, I will love to take some lessons and ride together.
