OK, so right now it's not super fast but it's still a blast to drive. Going to get the heads rebuilt and put a hotter cam in it next spring so I can fully use all 401Ci.... (that's 6.6L!!).

recently sold the ZX7-R and the TT Stealth is going under the knife for more upgrades...but i have an eye out for a TL1000-R. i made the mistake of riding a buddy's TLR and that did it...it's bulky but definitely fun. i like the torquey feel of the V-twin.
TTurbo, nice gixxer. i like that color scheme much better than the blue/white.
2KGS400, nice looking Buick. the guy who bought my ZX7-R is rebuilding a Buick Wildcat. talk about a project!

So you like the TL, I used to have one that I wasnt too crazy about. I absolutely love the look of it, I think its the best looking bike out there. I just couldnt get used to the V Twin feel of the bike......hell of alot of TQ, but it just didnt have the same feel for me. The V Twins have a whole different power band to them, some people love them.....it just wasnt for me. I looked for along time for the color scheme that I got, I love it. Its time to start modding it over the winter though....a few things here and there.
Theres alot of nice toys on this thread, I like the diversity.....bikes, boats, classics, etc, etc.......

i know what you mean about the v-twin. i was skeptical for a LONG time too. i rode a duc once but was too afraid of dropping it so i didn't really get a good feel for it. on the TL i felt you could get power from anywhere just on the throttle...and the torque was nice. i've always liked that styling too. now if i ever get on an RC51 that may change my mind again.

A 94 Supra for a brand new S2000, my wife wanted me to keep it for her....but that didnt happen. I cant keep a car that I cant fit in with comfort.
Frenchie.....I know what you mean, my in laws own a boat and some jet skis. They have a summer house on a lake in North Carolina, we spend a better part of our weekends down there in the summer.....I absolutely love being out on the water...nothing like it. Plus I have two young kids and a wife, it's a little mroe fun when you can have a hobby that your family can enjoy with you as well.........hmmmmm, got me thinking again!!
