edit- where is CTX?

Thats where the metrosexuals buy their nut huggers at. I cant get any of that hollister, abercrombie stuff to fit. The xxl shirts make me look like i shop at the baby gap, and they dont make jeans big enough to fit my legs. It looks like guys are wearing womens jeans?

Take it to the track, there is LSTD.com that has local trackdays. You will learn so much out there and it is a lot safer than the street. I have a 06 R6 black here is a couple pics from TWS in the horse shoe and also at GSS.

Couple track pics, it is a blast to do

Yep have to be careful, this type of riding is not advised on the street. There is tracks all over Texas. I have been out to MSR in Cresson, Texas, rode MSRH in angelton, GSS in texas city area, and TWS in college station. There is place to get cheaper suits in the 350 range or even a used one. People can corner work for free track time ect. It can be expensive but can be cheap if you do it right. Tons of fun and you find out really how slow you really are, anyone can twist a throttle, can you twist it and turn in the question. I am pretty slow myself, IMHO.

My little michelin man has no head anymore

But thats about as far was I am willing to take it on the street, I have had some scary moments with slick spots and slick asphalt kicking my bike sidesways as I power out of a corner

I try to ride within in my limits and not push it to far until I get on a track.

Or check the WERA boards, a lot of racers on there. I got mine used off another person on motohouston for approx 100 bucks. Also try looking up online bike places, there is on in corsicana that is cheap cheap on good gear. Cant think of the name, I can get a new fieldshier for 350. Ya just be careful on the street. I really dont ride anymore street, have plenty of fun on the track.
