Default New Experience!

Hey, Folks!

My brother got a new bike last week. His second bike. It saddened me that it wasn't a SUZUKI but hey, different strokes for different folks.

It's an '02 R1 (Yamaha). We went for a ride & after a few hours of him trying to get me on it, I finally gave it a try. My 600 is the only bike I've ever ridden & I'm quite comfortable w/it.

Anyhow, I just rode it around the gas station a few times to sorta feel what excitement a 1000 has to offer. Getting to the point I'll just say that it was addictive. Noticed right off that its a challenge to steer w/o a damper (which he doesn't have).

I'll post pics of it during our next ride.
