I have a kevin Schwantz signed side cover from his 87 when he crashed in turn one at BIR, wrong color scheme but cool.

I was working the turn 1 radio for this crash during practice.  I was horrified and could barely handle keeping my concentration on the radio task.  Thankfully Kevin bounced back up but sadly his teammate was rather seriously hurt.

1986 GSX-R750. Custom paint, which is a subtle variation of the factory 1987 blue paint scheme. Whoever did it, did a very very good job. So clean, this thing may be the cleanest bike I own.

It'll be at Last Wednesday, First Thursday and/or Slimey Crud in the coming couple of weeks.

At over 20 years old it qualifies for classic plates with lifetime registration. Applied for the vanity plate "86GSXR".

Haven't ridden it yet has ~18K on it. Supposed to go dirt bike riding all weekend, so probably won't get to ride it until next week. Hope it rides well enough to be a decent weekend Alphabet bike, but at the very least. should be a nice First Thursday bike.

Sold the 900SS earlier this month, so this addition brings me back to 5 bikes.
