It was 80 degrees and sunny… But it wasn’t in NY :ponder Took a flight down to Dallas to visit my family for spring break. My R6 is down here and I haven’t ridden it since July, so I wanted to ride asap. Went on some nice “twisty” roads. Hit a pot-hole mid corner though and almost pooped myself lol, thank god a car wasn’t coming in the other lane. here’s the bike: ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC00022.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC00022.jpg) race tires on the street bike ftw ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/RearTire.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/RearTire.jpg) ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/RearTireRace.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/RearTireRace.jpg) ---
