Default Shotgun5 says "WHAT IS UP!"

Hello everyone, I ride an 03 600rr which I got last summer. I am in the process of getting it lowered cuz I'm only 5'3" but w/e. I'd like to learn how to drag it sometime this year or next in which case lowering it would give an advantage... or so I'm told. Like 5 of my buddies or so and I were all supposed to get bikes together but I was the first one and unfortunately the only one ::cough losers cough cough::... So I pretty much ride alone these nice spring days, or with my pops whose got a road king. Which isn't quite as fun as riding with a few of the boys but I guess it's better than riding alone right? Anyway that's my brief intro, I'm also a member at stuntlife.com although I have no desire to stunt... just straight lines for me lol.

I am also ... not to toot my own horn ... a guru on bodybuilding or just working out in general. So if you have any questions on the subject feel free to ask, and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you who call this place home much better.

Till next post,
-S.G.5.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Stunts... straight lines... that's a waste of a bike made for twisties

Just kidding. I like watching stunters and racers, just enjoy the hard work it takes to ride the twisties.

AS for the bodybuilding tips... how do I get myself back into the shape I was 10 years ago? Without weight training or running... or dieting....

welcome! nice intro where are you from? i know what you mean about riding alone... okay sometimes but definitely more fun if you have buddies. if you're anywhere near my area (Southern Illinois) you're more than welcome to ride with us...

I'm from Cleveland OH unfortunately. Thanks just the same though. As for getting you back into "the shape I was 10 years ago? Without weight training or running... or dieting.... " All you have to do is send me 50,000,000,000.99 and walah!

I'd like to do the twistie thang, but since I gotta ride a lowered bike I didn't think it was an option. Anyone ever tried riding both lowered and standard? I wanna know how much performance it really costs.

I'll get some pics up just as soon as I have some.

I have a friend that lowered a 04 Gixxer 3" for his wife. It's very awkward trying to ride it, but then again, I'm 6'. I didn't take it into any real corners or anything but it will kill the handling a bit. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Can a get a special introductory offer of 4 easy, low payments of 29.95 each? And if I act right now.... get a two for one deal?
