A steel tank CR, as in Elsinore? Dirt riding is a blast, picked up a CRF450R last year, and I have a Penton Jackpiner that's going back together.

I ride a 09' honda repsol 1000RR - gobs upon gobs of power, excellent handling, and there is never a moment it doesnt attract unwanted attention. It makes more power than the warrior i fly.

I ride a 1998 Honda VFR w/ 22K miles on it. The best bike I have ever had and still to this day people ask me what it is. I will probably never sell the bike and keep it till I die.

My son had something similar in the summer of 2009. Totaled Yamaha R6. Helicopter ride to the hospital. Clueless, drunk old man (at mid day). The guy just missed me.

My son got a nice check from his insurance company, and now has a Suzuki GSXR-1000. We'll probably do a moonlight ride on Wed (full moon) here in San Diego.

Myself and my son both ride motocross (me in the old guy classes). We're planning to run the Baja 1000 this year.
