Default Where's Whitey been? *Lots of pics*

Well I haven't made a post in a while and I haven't been around much so here's some updates on what I've been doing. I finally bit the bullet and bought a 4-stroke. Its the first new thing I've ever bought. A 2007 Suzuki LTR450:

The suspension on the thing is just awesome. It has the most travel and widest width of any quad. Also the powerband is so much smoother than the 2-strokes so it doesn't beat you up as much. The 4-strokes are just better for the trails. I still have my Banshee for hillclimbing and the drags and also now maybe one day I'll finsh the projects I've started on it. (when I get the time )

On the first ride I collapsed the rear rim on the rocks. Its funny that for the first brand new thing I've ever owned on the first ride I'm fixing the rims with a sledgehammer and 8 plugs

So to fix the problem I got carbon fiber dual beadlock Hipers:

Here's how she sits today with a Sparks exhaust, yoshi cherry bomb and pro design intake sitting at the Jersey sand quarries:

And just this Friday I picked up another new toy, a 2007 GSXR750:

Its got 1100 miles on it. I really wasn't planning on getting a bike but it was such a killer deal that I could probably just wait till spring and sell it and make a profit. I knew the kid who I bought it from, he bought the thing in July barely rode it, saw somebody go down so he got scared and just wanted it gone. I think I might hold onto it for a while. It really is a killer bike. So now I have too much stuff. Here's the new:

And here's all of them:

I guess this is what happens when all you do is work and don't have time to wrench on things, you just accumulate stuff. Like they say, you gotta get it out of your system now before you get married and have kids...

Nice stuff man, fun toys. We should have a "what do you do for a living" thread.

I'm a quality and application engineer, work in composite manufacturing mainly in aerospace. I guess I'm not doing too bad for being 25, I have no debt and paid for the GSXR and LTR in cash. The only thing is I was saving so I can buy some land but I figure I can take out a loan for that and if I need to I could just sell everything. I mean I could probably sell the GSXR for more than I paid for it.

I didn't give up I just don't have the time. When I'm not working I go riding so it'll get done one day when I have free time

I like the gsxr, how much did you get it for? Part of me has been wanting to sell one of my cruisers and buy a sport bike for the weekends. I rode my dads cbr and loved it as well as a freinds gsxr 600.
