My name is Carl Drake and I live near San Mateo. I have been riding for the past 5 years starting off with a 2000 Yamaha R6 then moving on to a 2006 ZX-6R. Then I decided to buy a 2007 S4RS Black with grey stripe from a gentleman in the central valley 3 months ago and fell in love. The balance, the rumble of a V-twin with a speedy moto clutch and a sparks exhaust struck a deep and resonate tone in my body having me feeling like a kid on a rocket bike. [thumbsup] I had a grin from the central valley all the way home on the 580W. The torque is amazing compared to Japanese bikes and had me hungry for more. I have since gotten a '05 999r and a'08 Hyper S. You can say that I have 'Duc' fever. Love to have found you guys and can't wait to check everything out on this forum. Wish you all safe riding!
Welcome, sounds like you have a nice stable. How do you like the 999?
