Just a few quick words to let everyone know that I think this site rocks, :bowdown: I have been dropping by for a while now and decided to join up. I really like how everyone here actually uses their bike for what it was made for. On other forums every other thread is "How do I get a 2nd gear wheelie"?
Anyhow I am a R1 rider I have a 99 R1 with a ported head, Graves Int. cam, reworked carbs, and a few other tricks right now she is looking a lil sad. About 60% done with the turbo build, just got done with the motor, and it is all off getting the plenum, and maybe a new manifold fabbed up. I do intend on getting another bike to ride while mine is down, I'm just not sure what one yet. I know it will be a liter bike atleast, but just not sure if I want to get way out of pocket on a newer one or if a older 1k would suit me. Anyway here is my old faithful Rhinolinerd 1

The flat black is cool, who cares is someone gives you crap, its not what you ride, its that you ride.

keep up the good work, with a turbo that thing will be insane:thumbsup:

Oh trust me I never pay too much mind to the next man, I was just hoping no one would notice that I was missing a front rotor in those pics!!! Thats why it is fast is because it feels that much better to embarrass the new pretty bikes! I have broken a few hearts on my 10 y/o bedlinered bike, and I love it. Even after the turbo it's just gonna be repainted with a nice fresh coat of rhinoliner. Thanks for all the comps.

Congratulations - Black is definately the fastest color. But, for the record glossy black is faster than flat black:laugh:
