Fun bikes. We had a black and gold '08 at the shop I used to work at. It had a power commander and Leo Vince pipes. It was ripper, needless to say.
E91 328xi - F15 X5 40e - Hopes and dreams of eventually having a cool car

08. There was no black and gold in 07. Most people don't even know how to differentiate down to that though!
It will look quite different when it's back together again.
Yeah I was going off the body style, didn't know that about the colors..
I'm kind of obsessed with Ducati superbikes.. I'll probably pick up a 1098s next year

Yeah ducatis are beautiful bikes. I'm an inline 4 fan, and always had a hard on for R1's. Really sucks that it's been down all season so far. Got the triple mosly mounted last night, but I have to fabricate a tool to tighten the inner nut. Not tight enough.

I like almost anything on two wheels. I've had 3 Hondas (F2, F4i, 600rr), and I've ridden my brothers Buell XB9r a lot, as well as my 1507cc Victory
V-twins just do it for me, I like the noise and relatively flat power band. The top end rush of I4s is awesome, the 06 1000rr I rode was devastatingly fast.. I'm pumped that with the release of the 1199, the 1098 should start dropping in price pretty darn soon!
Whats wrong with the R1? I know you had the exhaust pipe issue, any mechanical things wrong?

Nothing is 'wrong' with it, just went a little overboard with the modifications and have very little time to work on it. Now a bunch of things have gotten out of hand, wrong stuff etc, so it's been dragging.

No, a blown motor would be easy....buy a new motor.
Some of the mods are:
OZ wheels (front al, rear mg)
New power pur tires
ohlins forks....converted to 108mm spacing
brembo calipers
speigler lines with quick release
Braketech rotors
all titanium front end hardware
YEC triple
Graves clip ons
Rizoma grps and bar ends
CRG clutch lever and perch
billet brembo MC with remote adjuster
Billet velocity stacks
woodcraft engine covers
Titanium engine hardware
YEC ECU
Full titanium graves exhaust - which is now smashed
lightweight rear sprocket
underslung brembo rear caliper
braking rear rotor
There is probably more...
This is the second round of mods. There was a bunch of stuff I puton last year.

Impressive list!
You do any track days with that beast?

Not yet. Very little time, but I want too. Not sure if I will this year anymore. I have all the gear and what not. I'm a complete beginner and I know it, I just like tinkering with things.
I haven't done any either, but I hear you on the tinkering lol
I'd love to pick up a cheap bike for some track action next year..
