I'm 6' 3" and I've been riding since June 2010 but I wish I could have started sooner.I'm originally from Aurora, Colorado. I've ridden through the rockies, carved lookout mountain's switchbacks and made a 1000 mile ride which took me to boring Grand Forks, ND. Being as I'm a pretty big (tall, not fat) individual I opted for a 1000 rather than a 600 as my first bike since I knew I would get bored of a 600. The zx1000b is my first bike and I love it but I'm always looking to go faster. the fastest I've hit is 155 and once I get out of college I hope to turbo a ZX14 and hit at least 240. My dream is a 7 second bike, a 250 MPH bike and a good stunt bike. I'm kind of a gearhead and bein as my bike is a 1989 i've had to put a decent ammount of work into it but when it isn't having issues, it rides great. I love to ride. nuff said.
