Default Hey from Canton GA

Light grey '11 getting delivered next week. Already have Pit Bull stand and spools in the garage. Already cleaned out the garage to make plenty of room.
Other bike is an '85 Nighthawk S. Never been on the track on a bike, some time behind the wheel of a 600+whp Subaru STI. Plans are to ride the gaps in North Georgia frequently. Learning alot from the forums already. No major mods planned until next year. I love the look of the Austin Racing stubby.

Wow! 600 hp STI huh? Is that your daily driver?

I'm also a wrx fan, looks like we've both found the new fast bike too eh?
Enjoy, welcome aboard.

It was a daily driver until the 450whp mark. Now a drive a Kia Forte to work and only play with the STI.

It will be neat to drive something faster than my car.
And scary. The Nighthawk is a pig it is so slow. But it's still fun and comfy. Good for taking the kids for a ride. The S1000- not so much- nothing for them to sit on but that little pad.

At dealer getting assembled. Added Apex risers and spools to go with a Pitbull front facing handle stand. I'm OCD so no kickstand in the garage. Thinking about sidestand enlarger pad and frame sliders next. Will have her home in a few days.
