Might be the last night the 02 YZF-R1 sleeps in my garage.... Just took it for a rip down the road, and put it away....

I'd rather see someone enjoy this bike rather than see it sit in my garage... Its time for me to move on to something else. And trust me when I say I wont settle just to off it. If I don't like what I see tomorrow I will just sit on it longer. My back can't take the Sport bikes any longer. I need to take care of myself better.

You would never live it down if you rounded the corner on your way back to see your mom or the wife with cameras at the ready!
