    Finally have the keys in my hand

    2001 Yamaha R6 with about 16k. Bought it used from a good dude in Essex. Took a little time but it was well worth it. Put a few quick miles on it to get used to a bike again but in the next few weeks it should feel just like before.
    I've been away from bikes for a few years now. The last was a CBR F3. It is definitely a step up, it'll just take a little time.
    Pretty much a stock set up, I don't plan on doing to much at least this year.
    Came with a nice M4 pipe. I need to get a light smoke windscreen and new blinkers for the front and rear, that's about it for this year. I did however pick up some new shoes yesterday. Front and rear M3's.
    Look for myself and MotoFreak riding a lot around the Chittenden county and beyond.
    I will also be at most of the bike nights at Donny's

    Huge thanks goes out to MotoFreak for all of the help the past couple of weeks. Thanks for all of your peer pressure
    RUFUS

    I work at the same place and on the same shift as Bill (MotoFreak) and we had to work.
    Hopefully I can make it down for this coming week but it wont be on the R6 as I am still waiting for more parts.
    I was thinking about riding the good ol' Ruckus down and race whoever wants the challenge HA! 49cc's of pure power
