Default Hi all - just got a Firehawk

Hi all, dennis in small-town westTexas.
I got 2001 Firehawk # 145/540 back in January and really, really enjoy it. Every morning when i turn it on and hear it come to life i get this huge grin. Black/black, completely stock 335 hp M6. It’s not pristine, but pretty decent.
Texas plate MAS X4C.. it’s supposed to reference Newtons Second Law of Motion, Mass times force equals acceleration. ( I.. appropriated.. that idea from a Kawai Ninja friend)
I learned about ls1tech from Reign_187 when i saw his Blue Beast.. next town over. (Thanks Daniel) and have been snooping around here since.
So, time to sign in. HI

also, now have three albums up now..

Wrooong. Actually i like the look of the regular WS6 hoods, kinda more Defined
But think i'll pass on your generous offer for now. : ]
btw - you and the post above, both cbr guys.. When i got the Hawk i figured it was as close as i could get to a crotchrocket.. that wouldn't fall over.

Just posted a hood and moon pic in the album - shot last night.
Thanks

Congrats, nice ride, and welcome!.

However, you might want to check Newton's 2nd law again before you pay for that plate:

F = MA or F/M = A (not MF=A)

Looking at your rides i'm guessing that "slow" is.. relative.

i just posted a hawkhood pic.

Nice Ride! Always wanted a hawk but could never justify what they want around here for them. Props to you.
