Thanks, leaf!
I never polished my previous bike. People would tease me and say, "Don't you like your bike--? Why don't you clean it?"
I'd respond, "I love riding my bike, not cleaning it."
The beauty of the CBR 600RR, however, changed me. Made me cleaning machine.
I'm dreading my first chain clean and lube. I don't have a rear-wheel stand yet so I'll have to clean it with the bike on the kickstand. Sucks.
The ZX-6R is winning all the bike of the year awards, isn't it? The only thing is I can't stand is the front headlights. I loved the 2007 look of the bike. Not so fond of the following years, though. It looks like a slow-witted fish from the front.
The differences in performance between all the top bikes, ZX-6R CBR, GSX-R, and the Z6, are subtle nuances that I probably would not be able to appreciate as I've only been riding for about three years and have yet to drag a knee or even pop a wheelie.
Although I do handstands on my bike.
But that's with it parked.
If there were a sport for doing "tricks" on parked bikes, I'd be the champion.
Or the loser.
Depends on your point-of-view.

Thanks, Outlaw. Gimme a couple of days to fix her up and we'll see how she fared.

BTW, I left the lights off for about a week on this thing. UG fared fine.

P.S. Borderlands, Dragoon Age, and Assassin's Creed 2 are off the hook! Get them!
