Hey hoes,

I recently sold my Suzuki SV650S ‘99, aka El Toro. I was fine with being without a bike for a while, but then I got the motorcycle fever. I mean, goddamn man, it’s warm, it’s summer, my BMW is b0rken (something with the fuel tubes, the fucker started gushing out fuel like Niagra falls in the middle of Helsinki), I’m a young healthy guy and I have some extra ca$h. So why not, I love bikes.

So I start searching like hell for a new crotchrocket, and one that I could get my hands on FAST. I go through all the decent sport bikes from Suzuki, Honda, Ducati, Yamaha, and then finally Kawasaki … I had hit the jackpot. As it turns out, almost every other Kawasaki sportbike was being sold from an owner in Helsinki (where I live). So I start calling them up, even though most of them are located in Helsinki, they had their bikes in winter storage somewhere else. And then after a while I find this one guy, who had just bought a Kawasaki ZX-6R ‘03, but realized that because of the family business he’s running, he has almost no time to ride his newly bought bike. So the next day he brings it over, I test drive it, everything seems A-OK, so I buy it.

All this happened in under 24 hours, no doubt the most spontaneous thing I’ve done this year.

So here it is … oh, and I dub thee Kermit (on crack),

Oh, and I got a cool new bug collection on my helmet. Nice! One of the bad sides of having a white helmet I guess.
