First, I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Ken aka 'BootiHole' My username is named 'BootiHole' because I'm an idiot. Lol. Yes, I could've made up a different username but I'm pretty much stuck with it because I am also known as 'BootiHole' on YouTube. You can search up my name there and watch a few videos I've created on my spare time. Just to give you guys an idea, I currently have 37,500 subscribers with over 10.4 million views. ;O

Anyways, I think my bike should be named Ride of the Month because she taught me what love is, and what a relationship should consist of. When I first bought her, it was mint, completely stock, ready to be ridden. The night I first took her out for a spin, gave chills running up my spine. Every input I gave her, she gave the exact output I wanted. I felt like she understood me, and I understood her. On our one month I decided to give her a little tease and bought her a Vortex front sprocket with a new chain. She felt a little different about things but it was all for the better, and it brought us closer. I felt after giving her that front sprocket, we decided to do things a little faster. Few months pass by, and finally. I decided to give her the full package. I installed a full system on her and a power commander to top everything off. My God does she moan so deep now. I went through a phase where I demanded so much from her, that she started showing some wear and tear. I wanted to do something about it because I didn't like the way she was feeling. I flushed her out, and refilled her. RBF600, AMSOIL, and most importantly a BMC Race Filter so she could breath better. Ah, it was a quick recovery. At this point I was crazy about her. I wanted to spoil her with all the money I had in my savings jar for future girlfriends. I gave her new levers from Shermoto, improved her eyes from DDM Tuning, SKUR carbon fiber covers because my keys kept scraping her top every time I rode her, and most importantly Pro Grips so I can give her a more precise twist and better grip whenever I give her a hard ride. Most recently, she gave me mixed signals. I didn't know if she wanted to speed things up or slow things down. I kept wondering what was wrong that I realized it was something I've done back in the beginning of our relationship. The front sprocket. This whole time she was giving me wrong outputs of how fast we wanted to go. I kept wanting to go faster and faster because everyone else was doing it, but she showed me that it was illegal. But it's all solved now thanks to a SpeedoDRD.

Sorry for the long story, but this my friends.. is what a relationship with your bike should be all about. Whatever you do, you must first understand her, and have her understand you. Whatever problems may arise, there's always a fix. Relationships can last long, only if you treat her right and if you show her hospitality. Well, her and I, we've been going strong for two years and I can honestly say, I'm in love with her.. ..and that's why I think my bike should be named Ride of the Month.

HA!

I picked up my new blue 2012 this afternoon! Got in out the door in Nor Cal from my local dealer for $10,500. I'm very VERY happy with the price. I almost gave the guy a hundred under the table I was so happy with that price. I may end up stoping by and giving him a 50.

I was convinced based on the e-mails I had been sending that dealer that they wouldn't come close to the price I wanted. So I first went the the next dealer south of my local dealer and after 20 minutes his best OTD price was $11,100.

So I hit my local dealer on the way home, figuring it would just be for shits and giggles and just asked, what can you do for that blue R1 OTD. After looking at some paperwork for a minute and a half, he said 10.5 OTD.

I said to myself "holy shit" and outloud said, yes I can do 10.5.

I've neen working non stop at work and around the house and havent slept in over 24 hours and I'm fried. If I can figure an easier way to move it around and get it into my kitchen, I should have it modded next Saturday night. I threw a few things on but I'm waiting till it's all finish up. Or I can buy a bigger space heater ha.

I swear these late models R6's are hands down the sexiest looking Japanese sport bikes to hit the road.

#111 ·
Year: 2012 R6
Engine Performance Mods: M4 Gp Slip-on, EXUP removed, Flashed ECU
Chassis/Controls Mods: Shermoto Levers, Michelin Pilot Powers,
Accessories: Flush Mounts, Fender eliminator, Dark smoke ZG Windshield, ZG windshield Trim, “Slowboy” Reservoir socks, Advanced Pro million color LEDS, Blacked out headlights and 3rd eye, Blacked out rider and passenger pegs, Removed Factory Decals, Stomp Grip Black, White Rim Tape, Smoked Motodynamic Tail Light, NJG Custom Decals

This is my 2012 r6 named “Bella.” She is my second bike, my first being a ninja 650r. I became interested in motorcycles ever since I was younger and I would watch my older cousins riding on their sportbikes. Of course the parents were against them saying, “not as long as you live in my house.” This led to me heading to college and living in Newport where I picked up my first bike, Had some fun times on that ninja 650, went down a few times and learned a lot of valuable lessons through errors made and the MSF class. Too make a long story short I ended up selling the ninja after college due to the lack of finding a job and student loans coming in. That was a little more than a year ago. This past April I remember waking up to the sound of a Honda cbr1000 riding on by and that’s when the urge to ride again really hit me strong. I headed straight to the nearest dealership, a convenient 5 miles away, and when I walked into the dealership I knew right away this was the bike I wanted.
I have an image in my head of what I want the bike to look like after all the modifications, so she is not nearly completed probably only 40% completed. Here are some pics that the girlfriend took of the bike for me. She’s all about photography so I hope you guys enjoy them.

I got my 04 Limited Edition Silver R6 back in 09 from the stealer ship with 8000 miles on her. After living/racing in the canyons for a year I lowsided her 85+ mph at GMR and broke pretty much everything on it. In no rush to get back on a bike I let her sit for a few months in my garage. I slowly started repairing it and decided on a color change and ended up with a black. Pretty much took 2 years of saving up/repairing to get her to where I was happy with it again. Here She is Enjoy
