How long have you been into motorcycling and what other bikes have you owned?

I bought it about 3 weeks ago from leos south. Bike had 160 miles on it and came with a 2 year warranty. They still classified it as new. I have road bikes for about 7 years now. Im originally from grand rapids Minnesota and i use to use a buddy's XR650L all the time. I did buy a 2006 gsxr 600 last year after I had sold my Evo. I kept that bike for about 2 months and sold it because my Evo was faster and the bike was a huge down grade to me. Then every once in awhile i road my buddy's aprilia and fell in love with the torque!

Yes sir I did 600hp in that thing! I did love when the gsxr started to pull tho up top! Just wasn't the type of bike for me.

There are some nice areas North and West of here. My Futura has been looking for relatives-haven't seen another Ape for quite a while. Guzzi John ::)
