My last bike was a 600gsxr, it was actually a race bike that was put back together just enough to make it street legal, very fun bike.
It was actually a motorcycle accident and money that made me stop riding, then life takes over (you know how that goes) and having toys isn't a priority anymore.
But you reach a point in life where enough is enough (some call it a mid life crisis

), and you want to start having fun again

Hence the new bike and I've also treated myself to a Toyota FJ, because besides riding off roading is my biggest passion.
