Hey guys, just wanted to take a second to introduce myself. I've been lurking around here for awhile, and finally decided to say hi. I've, been riding sportbikes since I was 18, so just about 5 years now. But I've also been riding dirt bikes, since about age 11 (gave those up once I could get my motorcycle license haha). I currently own two R1's, an '04 that I've had for about 2 1/2 years now, and I just bought my '09 a couple months ago. Before my '04 R1, I had a '03 CBRR600, and started on a '02 CBR F4i. I look forward to learning alot more then I already have from this website in the past couple years, and hopefully I'll get a chance to ride with a few of you in the northern, VA area.

Here are a couple pics of my 2 bikes, as well as pics of the girlfriend in advance. I know you guys always say pics of the girlfriend are mandatory as well :hammer:

Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Thanks guys. Ride safe!

Thinking about making the '04 one. I'm about an hour away from a nice track here in VA. I need to get alot more track time before I invest in converting it though. I've only been out there 2 times, and am still pretty slow compared to most guys out there hahaha.

2 bikes

haha well, I've been lucky to be working at the same place since I was 16, so I moved up the ladder pretty well. I've also bought the Camaro way back when I was 17 for a fairly good price so its been LONG paid off. As for the bikes, I got a steal on my '04 back when i got that, so I really only had to get a loan for like $2k, paid cash for the rest, so needless to say after 2 years thats paid off as well. So technically all Im paying for right now is my 09. Insurance also isnt to bad for it all either, since I have a perfect driving record.
