    BTW...


    What, pray tell, is a "gixer," and why would it require violent termination?

    Gixer is the street slang for a GSX-R motorcycle built by Suzuki. I love and hate the bikes, they are fast, great entry level to racing bikes, problem is every retard buys one and puts stupid shit on it like led strips or hid lights and then complains there are issues.......

    no kidding you bought a race bike not a stunt bike or fat chick hauler.....

    then there is the bike, the frames are weak, the body is good for china, they don't last, electrical sucks......worthy of termination.
    also, when ever i build a bike for a client it was always "can you build it to beat the gixer?"
    (plus all of my bikes make gixers look like baby toys)

    I did work for them for a couple of years......to bad the world economic platform crashed......I might still be there if it had held the course..

    So what I'm getting out of this is that you have a truck and not a bike so you can now haul fat chicks. Got it. 4 doors for more whores.











    Good call. :thumbsup:

    I can't wrap my head around "nasty fast" in the context of Austin traffic. I'm assuming you have to achieve heinous speeds outside of town?

    I'm happy to get to do the speed limit in a school zone. :bananadead:

    It is an 07 R1 with 160 hp at the ground, 78lbs feet torque and a wet weight just under 400 lbs. I built it as a sleeper/race bike. it looks stock....
    all mods are under the clothes. I intended to field it as my replacement racer, then the world went to hell and i lost my job....no more racing.

    estimated top speed is 178.......only had it to 170, on the track. to much to lose to go that fast on the street. the toll roads are good for fast hyjinks....especially the 45. i can run from AW Grimes to Cedar Park in 5 min if the road is clear.......kind why it stays in the garage....i don't need a felony arrest.

    88 was fast, for the long frame. I built an 01 1000 for a guy, full Yosh, pistons,cams,trans,head.......guy paid me 40k to build this thing......

    at 65 in 6th gear, a whack on the throttle and you were seein nothing but sky..........the GSX-R is a good fast platform, IF you use it in the way it was designed.

    I have a friend in CA who still has a 100% original first year 1100 "slabby"...........kinda miss those old horses...

    I had it at 200 on I-10 with a gear and a half left. That's when I knew it was time for me to get back on dirt bikes. Guy that bought it campaigned it as a privateer in the AMA super bike series for years.

    Are we allowed to stack any in the bed? Because I too have the long bed...and that totally changes the equation!
