I recently met with RollinLS to get some decals for my center caps (I still owe you!) and I told him the LS progress has taken a back seat the past couple months to my other ride, and he said I need to post pics so here goes

Its a 2007 Yamaha R6.

It began its life a charcoal grey color. I bought it wrecked with a salvage title. I fixed it and rode it for a season. Looked decent but not perfect.

I always wanted white so I sold the stock body work and switched over.

Switched it over to white then I got cut off on 40 and she went end over end.
Did close to a grand in damage.

Well just as I was about to switch out the damaged tank for the fresh one it was stolen sunday form my garage. I was fortunate enough to get it back( Damaged of course) but cops are making progress on the case.

sounds like you need to ask the guy who stole it :p :cool:
 
I need a bike. My dreams the past 2 nights have involved me riding an old turbo ninja. Idk
 
Nice R6, sounds like you might need to install it in a bubble tho. Man I miss my bike...
 
The bike was in the garage and trust me, security will be increased.

I have had this bike up to 151MPH. Who knows how those *******s rode it. I now they did a burn out. Cant wait to catch them thats all I know.

The bike is ridable, just not as pretty.

You still had a good 20-30 MPH left. I remember pegging my ZX6r when I had it.
 
Nice ride, when you redo it, this time add the words "Bad Luck" or "Never Dies" on it somewhere.

Ninja 600r red/blue/white was the last bike I owned. Back in the nineties.
Always interested in getting another bike but it would have to be an HD.
 
Ya I definitely have more than 151 in it but highways get crowded quick.

Friends at work call it Eleanor lately. Much like nick cage in gone in 60. No matter what I do I can't just have it (or at least in one piece)
 
You need to sell that bike. It's a trouble magnet, kinda like my mom's 1993 GMC pickup. It was a beautiful customized truck, and had over 400K miles on the original engine (never cracked open for anything other than a set of valve cover gaskets, and they were just weeping) but that truck was wrecked about a dozen times. People just kept running into it. Luckily she was never hurt, and after the last accident we finally talked her into getting rid of it. She's now driving a black 2001 truck I used to keep around as a spare. Last I heard her old 93 was still running, but has been in yet another wreck.

You can probably buy another identical bike, and never even find bird crap on it.
 
I plan on going to a 1000 some day but not for a year or two at least. I almost feel bad selling it. Its been through so much, dont want to give up on it now..
