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 :3 )

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 :3

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

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. :l Here's the new:

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.

that 450r is sick. i went to the suzuki dealer when they came out and checked one out. i wish i could have afforded one i really want a quad right now.

i thought you were building a turbo banshee or something, you give up?

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. :y 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

Re: Where's Whitey been? *Lots of pics*
 

welcome back. you should do something ridiculous and twin turbo the 4 stroke. it would be more like the old whitey lol.

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.

Re: Where's Whitey been? *Lots of pics*

Re: Where's Whitey been? *Lots of pics*
