R6, or Natasha as I call her.

After several years of not riding motorcycles I decided to purchase a bike. Why? Well because it's a hoot, I could afford it, and I live in Europe now. Europe is so fun to ride a motorcycle - you can do some serious twisties in the mountain passes, scoot between stopped lanes of traffic in town, and race a Porsche or Ferrari as fast you wish (well only on the German Autobahn), and did I mention the mountain passes? Natsha is a 2000 model Yamaha YZF-R6 which I bought with just 4800km on the odometer in 2002. In my first summer I added another 6000 km, easily doubling what the previous owner did!

As mentioned, I'm doing a bunch of work on Natasha now:

• Sliders: Frame, swing arm, clutch, steering
• Heated grips - It gets cold in the winter!
• Flush mount LED blinkers
• Race undertail
• LED rear tail light with integrated turn signals
• larger hugger
• Fiber optic blue neon trim lights
• stripping and polishing the wheel rims
