Been eyeing the 636 for a bit of time now. Well my wife knew I had been and when we went to the shop yesterday for me to show her a 636; we got there I was surprised to see my name on the bike with a sold sign.

NevadaWolf · February 2nd, 2014, 10:49 AM

w00t! That must've been an awesome moment. Congrats!!

backinthesaddleagain · February 2nd, 2014, 01:15 PM

Yeah really awesome moment.

c-dog · February 2nd, 2014, 03:01 PM

Now that is one cool wife! Congratulations on the new bike!

This is something to remember forever. I am jealous of the experience as I've always wanted to be surprised with something big and awesome like that. Super cool wife for sure.

When is her birthday? And more importantly - what are you going to get her? Anywhere cool she'd like to go, etc.?

backinthesaddleagain · February 2nd, 2014, 03:40 PM

Yeah I agree. Actually working on a good birthday plan for her as we hit the big half century mark!

JohnnyBravo · February 2nd, 2014, 06:47 PM

That's a sweet ride... Congrats! Definitely cool

sharky nrk · February 3rd, 2014, 07:20 AM

subxero · February 3rd, 2014, 07:27 AM

I have my eyes set on the 2014 Zx6r, How are you enjoying the new bike?

Its the 2013, but I haven't brought it home yet. This week looks like snow 3 times. Want to get it home though as I am recovering from a heart attack and am still working on getting strong enough to ride. But want to at least look at it and sit on it!

cbinker · February 4th, 2014, 10:59 AM

She's a keeper!

DEFY · February 4th, 2014, 11:12 AM

Hate to hear of your heart attack, hope you have a swift recovery!

You and Gordon coming for the 200? Someone let the cat out of the bag about me hooking up with you guys. Eddy thought it was a long time ago and I didn't argue the point.

Alex · February 4th, 2014, 12:12 PM

Read right past the heart attack part without grasping it the first time. Glad you're on your way back to recovery!

Good to hear you are kicking with us still. I am so sick of snow, it has been on the ground since October here. If its anything like last year it will still be here during may. I have been in negotiations with the dealer and they are telling me the 2014's won't be there until mid March.

CC Cowboy · February 4th, 2014, 03:22 PM

Hey, I'd fake a heart attack too for a new bike.

KawiKid860 · February 4th, 2014, 03:40 PM

Awesome bike, even more awesome wife and I hope you have a good recovery from your heart attack so you can enjoy the heck out of that bike!

Sirref · February 4th, 2014, 04:42 PM

good luck with your recovery, and I couldn't imagine not taking the missus to whatever island paradise she prefers for her birthday after something like this.

you sir, are a very lucky man (even with the heart thing)

Not sure yet, not really travelling and I think I'll still be in cardiac rehab then.

Definitely not me. I am like a vault. Actually only know him by name, never seen him (that I know of).

Yeah I was trying to figure a way to get that 636 and figured the old heart attack would be the quickest way.

Some pics of my bike as it sits stock. First up GBRacing engine covers, Sato frame sliders, and OEM Kawi tank pad have all been ordered. Some day will be fender elim and maybe a steering damper if too much headshake.

I am very jealous that your weather is rideable now. I don't enjoy coming home every day and walking through the door with her sitting there all sexy yet I can't ride her. I have been contemplating frame sliders as well as a slip on exhaust but a city I plan on riding to has just passed a law that the bike cannot be over 100db. The Yoshi R77 might be close which is the one I want.

ForceofWill · March 24th, 2014, 02:44 PM

If those pics are from today you're a brave man. It's freezing out.

backinthesaddleagain · March 24th, 2014, 05:52 PM

That was Saturday. I should have ridden it home but figured it was going to get cold again and have the shop put on my accessories so I left it. If it warms up this Saturday it's coming home and I'll install them.

backinthesaddleagain · March 30th, 2014, 03:59 PM

Some protection mods I did after I brought it

Definitely go for the frame sliders. They are a beautiful, inexpensive investment that goes a long way. Lowspeed drops can rash your fairings and ruin that beautiful paint job. With framesliders, your paint stays good as new, helping you keep your bike pretty and your resale value up
