My new addiction...'04 Gixxer 600 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Gix-N-8or · 08-10-2004, 12:09 AM

It's been a while since I've ridden, but more friends now at this age ride than 15 years ago when I first got my M1 endorsement on my license. Of course, after doing some research, I found that the Gixxer 600 was the best middleweight bike coming out of Japan nowadays. I considered the R6, but after looking at both, reading more about how awesome the new Gixxer 600 is, the choice was obvious. I bought the R6. Just kidding.

Here's my new ride:

thanks alot but, im not a marine...yet. not old enough.

Gix-N-8or · 08-10-2004, 01:12 AM

Well...thanks for the compliment on the bike. That's really a tricky signature though and should probably be left for those who serve.

You can ask LayinLo. Military people don't get paid much at all.

Wow Soad, how old are you where you mow lawns as your source of income? 2500 is not a lot in CA. How did you come to have so many posts on this forum?

im 15 and i just have a couple of lawns around the neighborhood that i mow on saturdays, plus a couple of one timers every now and then. i came to have so many posts by commenting on alot of stuff. i mow in michigan too, so im not from the great NATION of california, which i heard is a little bit more expensive than cow towns and suburbs around here.
