there are no Z's...so might as well discuss bikes.

I'd love to have a bike again - had an 01 CBR 600 F4i in college, bought it off a guy in the Navy who was being deployed and had to get rid of it, fast. Was a project so a bit cosmetically in bad shape, but ran like a top. Was such a fun project to bring back to life and of course, ride the hell out of it.

Shoot I did miss that spot! Haha I will get it tonight!

Ya I couldnt get very wide wheels and tires on it. Had to settle with 315s all around.

I think that's the first time I've ever read anyone discussing tire width say "315s" and "settle" in the same sentence, lol. Well done.

I hope you've got plenty of bread on hand, because those things are meaty!

Haha I have managed to do the impossible then!

Yep, the tires are not cheap at all. Something like $450 a piece and they only last a year with the amount of racing I do. Next year I will probably blow through 2 sets....

I bought a Surron X! 😁

Haven't had time yet to really ride this thing and get it 'broken in', but I picked it up two days ago and am loving it so far. I may still get the larger, more powerful Ultra Bee next year, but this will be a good companion bike and will be much more under the radar for street riding and "urban freeride".
