@dug - that happened to me too. My rear kicked out due to the painted lines on the road. Good thing PRS taught us what to do.
@jordan - keep working on the S. bikes are great but they are a huge money pit. mods are expensive for what you get.
@steve c - I like gsx-r's too. It came down to the gsx-r and cbr for me when I was buying. I'm a smaller guy and felt more comfortable on the cbr so I went that route. I wish the gsx-r worked out because I rode one and I love everything about it.
@richee - nice i can't wait to ride too. I didn't have that much riding time last season because I just got the S2K.
@ray - you'll have a good time at PRS.

Anyone bailed before??
Once I high-sided after going into a turn too fast. I flew onto a dude's yard and a guy driving by stopped and was like "HOLY SHIT ARE YOU OKAY???". It was acutally kinda funny after i got over the initial shock of being thrown off my bike. I still have no idea what I hit my foot on, but it hurt like a bitch later that night. I figured I was lucky tho cause I bought my new Sidi boots like 2 days earlier, without them I might've broken something I think. I was never quite the same rider after that.
The second time I low-sided. Went too low on tires that were still very cold and I just lost it. I was so angry with myself. I was goin hella slow tho, so nothing hurt but my ego cause it was in the middle of Lougheed Hwy, so tons of ppl saw. Like 4 different ppl stopped or got out of their cars to see if I was okay though, that was a nice surprise.

I came very close a few times. I went over the yellow line on the highway once, just couldn't get it over far enough. Second time I ended up on a front lawn. Didn't drop the bike either time though, just let off the gas and road it out. Scared the crap out of me.
The lawn was on the 450 custom and I had no experience, on the road. The yellow line was the FZ.

i got my licence planning on buying a 09 r6, then bought the s cause the weather here isnt too great for a bike. ill probably buy one this summer then sell it after a couple months.
