Hi there, I'm Swirlie, new to this board, I've got an '06 R6 that I've had for not quite a year now, been riding for over 3 years total and put close to 40k miles on the odometers in my saddle time. Yep, I ride... ALOT. My bikes have been my main forms of transport as well as my main forms of recreation since I started riding. I'm in Panama City, Florida, US, I was a cop for 6 years, and I just joined the army infantry under the 18x SpecForce pipeline. Nice to meet ya'll! Any other questions? And before anyone asks, no, the bike isn't modded or tricked or anything, it's bone stock, and it's more than enough to go get crazy and have an awesome time on!

This has to be one of the funniest sites online, they are all stories from a guy who works for a design company called deMassi Jones. He makes fun of his co workers and are all true stories. His famous one was the 7 legged spider. The sites been around for a while but he has just updated it with asking to trade his furniture for a new motorbike. Check it out http://www.27bslash6.com/R1200GS.html The Party in Apartment 3 is great too

I had to share this with everyone - i managed to get out on my bike for the first time this year for a proper blhaat! At last, the weather is looking better and summer is creeping in slowly, but surely! Did any one else manage to make the most of the sun today? I nearly sold my bike two weeks ago cos i was soooo fed up with the snow and winter chill - so today has been a God send...and my bike is off teh market! yippee! Happy riding all!
