    i miss my RC :(

    so its been about 2months since i sold the rc and picked up my aprilia. the last few weeks it kind hit me that i really miss my rc. my riding skills are far from being good enough to ride the rc to its limits but man that bike was so fun to ride and so obnoxious sounding i just now realize how much i miss it. the ape is fun and all but it just doesnt posses that raw uncompromised feel the rc had. part of me thinks i made a mistake by getting rid of it in the name of comfort. eh enough of my bitching. just felt like saying something, bored at work.

    Honda bikes have a way of doing this to you.

    Im the opposite, I havent wanted to ride my old bike at all since I got my new one. In fact, I just took the 636 off the road.

    at first glance i would think that this naked designer ape would have more soul and character then a full faired "race bike" but i think the rc had way more flair.


    not a big fan of the TLRs, they look *fat* with the fat tail and all.

    i need pipes and a re-gear for this thing. if only aftermarket support would get their chit together!

    Heres what some good times on the RC can be like. I did my first trackday ever on it. Ive knocked close to 20sec off that lap time with the R6 this year.

    OK, dude. You know thats not a fair compairison. YOU are a MUCH faster rider than you used to be. Im sure the R6 is quicker around the track, BUT IT AINT NO 20SECONDS QUICKER....No way.

    By the way, NICE R6, I dont like you anymore....
