How did you come up with the names for each of your bikes?.. Well this could take a while to explain if I went through each bike but the processes I use is to ride each one for a while(about a month) and see how they feel to me(there attitude if you will) then I use the color of the bike and the styling to help determine a name....... Great question |

welcome. Tell us about your rebuild. Well if you watched my videos you would know.... Ha ha ha jk so about three years ago in late August I was on the way home from work when I got t boned in an intersection by a truck it actually totaled Michelle she had 1k on the odometer at the tone and I just couldn't let her die at such a low millage it destroyed the right side of the bike the forks took most of it but I had to replace them, the tank, the frame sliders, the front wheel, front rotors, caliper on the right side, handle bars(everything that goes with that), saved the instrument cluster, right foot peg, brake pedal, rear master cylinder, exhaust tip, complete tail section including tail frame, and passenger peg.... So got all that replaced put her on the dyno with a pcv and two brothers slip on and cat delete she made 108hp and I can't remember the torque..... Rode her to about 4k mile between the first rebuild and now then I had a close friend who was bikeless and had a motorcycle license that wanted to ride with us one day and after a quick stop about mid way through the ride she lost her footing in a parking lot and just didn't have enough strength to save it(she tried hard) so it fell on the right side again this time it damaged the brake pedal, master cylinder, exhaust shield(was also damaged after the first crash), and frame slider so I have decided to just not ride Michelle until the rear brake parts come in I just feel it's unsafe but everything is ordered and will be in shortly. |

Please tell me about Scarlett why did she come and go?? Smoking hot in red... Looks like the perfect gal to me!! Nice BMW too.... oh wow Scarlett was actually a bike I ordered from the dealer and was a production year of 2013 one of the first I named her Scarlett because I feel that's an extremely sassy name(real torque monster) and of course she is red ha ha she stuck around to about 6k miles in about year I really loved the bike but I'm a huge fan of the twists and I'm also about 200ish pounds so the suspension was a little soft for me in the corners and would have taken a lot of money to get correct she did have a pcv and a full two brother exhaust she produced 124hp and 62 ftlb of torque at the rear wheel she was a blast in the straights and loved to be on one wheel but would get really squirrelly on corner exits. And thank you I'm enjoying Alyssa a lot is the first bike I have ever owned to produce over 200hp at the wheel so it's a real learning experience but the electronics on it are top notch |

First person I've seen to sell the 9 and keep the 8. so I explained the reasoning for selling Scarlett but to answer your question directly I kept Michelle(the 8 as you call her) because of the real horrible crash we were in together I feel like I bonded to her and just can't imagine ever seeing her go she is truly my baby. |
