I recently purchased this 2007 Honda 919 from Poorboy:
I've been riding for about three years. I learned to ride on my father's Suzuki SV650 Savage (you have to say "Savage" real sassy like, with a lisp, since the bike is purple).
Then I spent a season riding the tires off my little brother's 2002 Honda 750 Nighthawk, pictured here with mine:
I also have a lot of experience riding ATV's and Dirt-bikes:
This winter, during the down time, (on the 919) I plan on replacing the exhaust cans, getting some of the silver, gray, and chrome pieces powder-coated black, a new front tires, and some brakes. The body has some scratches, so maybe not this year, but next year I'll get it repainted. Probably the same color but with some metallic or gold speck added.
I have a 150 mile round-trip commute to/from work, so I plan to ride any time the sky is clear and it's above freezing. And once a year I spend a week vacation taking a road trip. Last year I went to Destin Florida, this year I'm thinking Myrtle Beach, taking The Tail of the Dragon on the way.
glad to see your enjoying it. are those 250s I see or 450s on that truck?
How's it doing for the round trip to work and back i had a 135 mile round trip for a few months and a 120 mile for most of the last 12 before i moved to the house you saw a few months ago. I miss the roads around the old house perfect twisties just a mile from home in every direction.

The dirtbikes are one of each. Usually my dad rides the 450, my little brother rides the 250 and I prefer the ATV, which is a Yamaha 400 4wd, nothing special, but great machine.
Somehow my commute has been lessened by 10 to 15 minutes over driving my car... hmm...
It was cold Saturday morning, I need some better gloves, maybe even some heated, otherwise I'm geared up for the cold pretty good.
try some glove liners under your gloves. i have a very heavy insulated glove and then my kangaroo skin gloves and the kangoroo gloves with liners do a better job than the insulated gloves and allow much more articulation.
i got mine from bass pro can't find them on there site but i got red head ones whcih seem to be made by underarmor. make sure they fit very snug and you won't nitice them at all inside the glove.

Oh, so you're the one who bought his bike! I was wondering, because I was thinking about going to look at it, but when I finally asked him he said it was sold. Fortunately, I ended up buying the one I went 2 hours out to look out, his bike was my backup plan
Anyway, I hope you like it, I know I like mine. I've only had mine for a few weeks and I've already put 1k miles on it, only only maybe 300 of them are from my commute!

I really should get some pics up of that exhaust.

I think I'm good with my Yoshimura's for awhile. It would be nice to get rid of the stink but it's not a big deal atm. Only thing you had on yours that I would be interested in was maybe the center-stand, but I suspect your friend already had dibs
