This thread is about motorcycles!

The PC is a seriously under-rated motorcycle! I rode one for about a month, back when they were just released, when my car broke down. The GM of the dealer I worked at was a great guy, and let me use the demo until I got the car fixed. I could carry more groceries in it than I could in the Camaro! It rode very well, and handled well too.
And, of course, the GL is a GL...what more can you say?

thank you for the compliment. the PC really is a great bike. look how old it is, less than 30k, and very well maintained. lot of storage, enough power to go uphill at 800cc. hope new owner who wants it, will appreciate it as well. absolutely no rust.

the wing? omg I just love this beast. in Hawaii you can't travel long distance like in the states, so with less than 5500 miles, its very much taken care of.

2003 Honda CBR954rr
2007 Honda CBR1000rr Repsol Edition

Here is a pic of the current bike, and my girlfriend just picked up a 2007 Kawasaki ZX6R for the street and track:

Dude...do I know you? I'm in Stone Mountain, and raced WERA from '86 thru '02.

I have yet to get my WERA license, but I bet that we know some of the same people. At the very least, we both know Mongo(Sean Clark) I am sure. I am sure you know Opie, maybe you also know Huey from Marietta Motorsports?

I am up in Lawrenceville, not too far from you at all. Who knows, maybe we met at a bike night or on GSB/BSB or something? In any case, glad to meet you!

We need to throw a DF ride or track day together! I'm just north of Asheville NC, need to get my ass down to NGA more... but the roads up this way are sooooo good

I tell you what, I will let you know when I sign up for a track day at Road Atlanta this spring. It is my favorite track, it is awesome.

Or, we could all meet up for a ride up to the North GA Mtns? We typically go up to Bllod Mountain, Helen, Suches, Haiwasee, etc...

I run the same loop on the SuperHawk. I've worked at Lawrenceville Honda-Yamaha; ProLine; Motions; and a few other shops, too. And yes, I know Sean and raced with Opie a few times. Sucker is fast, too

My pics are on the previous page, btw.

I need a new track bike; might not be this season. I wrecked the bejeezus out of my 750 at Road Atlanta last August... went through T1 in 5th, got through the apex & cracked open the throttle- that was the extent of the grip available to me at the time. Broke 1:33 though, on an '01 bike!
Can't do RA on a borrowed bike- it's just too fast.

Looks like an R6 in your avy....

Yeah, Opie is crazy fast. He often races his 750 in the 1000 class and wins a lot. LOL

When were you at Lawrenceville Honda? I bought 4 streetbikes and a dirtbike there since 2005. I usually dealt with Chris(CR).

I will check out your pics. I love the Superhawk, very solid bike. I prefer Vtwins for the street. On the track the inline 4 comes into it's own, but for street riding there is no substitute for torque.

I had the Ducshop throw in a Microtec ECU and tune the bike for the exhaust and airbox mods, and we are putting down 148hp at the rear wheel, and I just had the bike weighed, and fully fueled it is a couple pounds lighter than an R6. Needless to say, it is.... lively. LOl

Actually, it is a bit of a handful, but having the power characterstics of a twin in a sportbike just can't be beat. Forget about what gear you are in, just give it gas and hang on. Wheelies on demand.

I rode a friend's Superhawk down around Pine Mountain and it was a blast. I almost got one, but went with the F4i because I didn't want to mess with carbs. If it had been fuel injected I would have gotten it.

The aforementioned borrowed bike... that was at VIR in October, Full Course. R6 got waxed there.

ROFL...yeah, I have to clean out my carbs before spring And you're right about twins...the 'Hawk is the most fun steetbike I've had since my Norton, way back when

I also have an F3 racebike here...if I can ever afford to go back to the track. I took the 'Hawk to Barber a few years ago, and kept riding it like a 4cyl...no point in revving the nads off a twin, is there? :blink::laugh:

CR is selling insurance now, btw.

Yeah, it is a really fast track. I did my first few track days there, on a 1000 no less. hehe

I like it because of the elevation changes and the speed, plus because it is made for cars it is wider so you have more lines to choose from, or at least more room to get around someone or run wide if you had to.

Here I am at Road Atlanta from this summer, July 4th weekend. I was on the 10 year old TL-1000R, and had a blast.

My girl started riding this summer on a Ninja 250, and she just upgraded to the ZX6R and is going to do some track days with me. When I sign up, I will let you know. Shoot me an invite on Facebook or something.
