2005 500R..I got it with 29 Miles on it..I got a very good deal. Only thing is that it has a salvage title. It has a few scratches on the ride side and I had to have the right peg and rear brake lever replaced. But I figure that I'm going to add my own scratches anyways..

If you really want to know the price I'll tell you but I don't want to post it..It was a deal for me, becuase my brother works there...

Did your roomate get a bike yet?? They have my babys twin...LOL

shoulda seen that one coming!

[xvrider]

Yes ,as a matter of fact I put another 50 miles on it today..And I gave her a bath.. But I guess I need to get used to riding because my legs are killing me..

[MissTwisties]

Congrats on your new ride, excited uh?

[OreoGaborio]

yeah, there's definitely some muscles that you seem to miraculously discover when you start riding motorcycles, especially long distances. Ya get used to it though. I remember having comfort issues when I started riding that i no longer have today, just gotta keep at it. Stretch out before & after if ya can - lower back, quads, hammies, neck & abs especially - just kinda warm up your body before doing any kinda distance.

above all else, keep your grip on the bars LIGHT! Do NOT rely on your arms to keep upright. Your legs, back, abs etc are all much larger muscle groups than your arms & shoulders. Keeping your hands light on the bars helps TREMENDOUSLY, both fatigue wise AND handling wise.

Thanks everyone..I am having a blast..

And Oreo I never thought about the stretching thing. Thanks..

But I guess I'm good with using my legs because its my inner thighs that really hurt..No dirty comments please.. And my back is a little sore...Now I just gotta do some stretches..

[OreoGaborio]

yeah... no joke, it does work your groins. gotta camp that tank when you're maneuvering/stopping... just keep as loose as you can in the straights. always think "relax"
