Just thought I would update this.

I drove from Seattle to Idaho last weekend to pick up the bike of my dreams. The Suzuki TL1000R aka 'tha tiller'
Since the introduction in 1998 thru the end of production in 03' I told myself I would someday own one. This is my 14th streetbike.
Some 250ish dollars later in fuel I have my bike.
Some fuel station in BFE idaho

And my new babe' :agreed: For some reason they are hard to come across in western washtington. I wanted the Blue/White but found this one for a decent price if you exclude my fuel cost. lol

Nice work Jayzee!!!! I think it's almost time for all of us to start taking that ride. The 2nd round of WMRRA races are this weekend @ Pacific Raceways. I can't make it this weekend, but I'll start organizing a ride to the next one(June 14-15)if you guys are interested?

If you have never been, there are a great time! A work buddy of mine may be out there racing as well. here is a link to the website!

Congratulations again Jayzee!

Thanks Draagro.
I have friends that race with Adrenelin Junkies thru wmrra.
Im thinking I need a track bike. I dont want to Eff up the tiller.

Ive been riding for 17years but I think its about time that I get some tips from a pro that can help me inprove my stance on the bike for some more agressive riding.
Im going to take it a little easier on this bike, since I lowsided my Gixxer last summer.

Just looking for some fun lower speed riding without squids

Draagro · 05-03-2008, 10:47 AM

I believe we are on the same page. I have ridden for most of my life, but this is my first bike for a number of years. I really want to do a bunch of instruction and track days, but not until I get another bike. Love my tiller and also don't want to thrash my only ride. That's why I go and watch others thrash theirs right now. Looking forward to a ride. I'll put together an invitation for the races in June and see how many TL's we can get together.

Here are the details for tomorrow's ride which was organized by some of the guys over at pnwriders.com:

Meet at the Kirkland Petco (bigger parking lot). The Address
12040 NE 85th St
Kirkland, WA 98033
Meet up time will be 11am, kickstands up @ 11:20am

Looks like there will be two groups: slow and fast. I plan on taking it easy and will probably sweep. Hope you see you on the road.

Draagro · 05-03-2008, 08:20 PM

I can't make tomorrow's run,but would sure like it if you would post up hear regularly when you know these runs are happening!!!

vtwin-racing · 05-05-2008, 01:43 AM

ahhh Vtwin rides in Seattle, i remember those a couple years ago.
Congrats Jayzee on the Tiller, D&D slip ons are nice and loud.
Draagro, your bike reminds me of my past TLR with the colors.

Draagro · 05-05-2008, 08:51 AM

that's an interesting paint scheme. Did you sell that bike. I's say we should roll'em out together, but that looks like it was just a track bike....
