I loaded up the ZX-6R Friday evening and took it to Rockingham Dragway to see if I could accomplish a couple things.

1. Trying to see how well I can shift with my bum leg.
2. Hang out with some good friends.
3. See if I could get into the 10's....

Last time I went to the strip was the day before my leg almost got torn off, and that was with theCBR. That was also my FIRST time to the strip, but I managed a best of 11.07 @ 124.45 trap speed.

This was the first time riding the ZX-6 since getting hurt, so I was a little apprehensive for a variety of reasons, but everything went decent and I managed to achieve all my goals!

R/T- .126
60"- 1.881
330- 4.779
1/8-7.157
MPH- 104.28
1000- 9.179
1/4- 10.952
MPH- 127.27

Not too bad for an old guy with a bum leg and not having ridden the bike for 8 months!

Next up is a track day April 7th at Roebling Road in GA!

 

Awesome man! Way to jump back into the game....much respect. Have a good time in Georgia. Post some pics when you get back and watch that leg. Relax and remember to modulate the throttle! Speed likes that saying

 

right on mnsrtk! sounds like good times. hey did you ever pic up that classic gsxr you showed us??

 

Just the onepic I posted before, but I picked it up this past weekend and here is apic in it's new home....



Here are the rest of the pics.....

You thought a ZX-6R with aftermarket rearsets has an aggressive ergonomics stance? You should try sitting on one of these! Not much room between the seat and pegs! I am not sure I will ever be able to ride it without a pillow on the seat to raise me up!

 

sweet!!! man that thing is clean. congrats!! what purpose is it gonna serve for you?? or just adding to the stable??

 

This one is primarily a collector piece. The occasional bike night or some gatherings, but no serious use. It is too ****ing clean to take a chance on screwing it up! I may do a session at a track day on it if I ever get to where I can comfortably ride it, just to run it and see how it does, but other than that, it's a show piece.

 

Wow!! 10 second ZX6R!! That's great! BTW, Nice Gixxer. I remember when these first came out. Smoked some uppity snobby chump with my old KZ650 on a windey road!
