    Craigs list, Ebay, Junkyards. There is a junkyard near me where I see tons of motorcycles.

    The GSXR is a very popular bike. Everyone wants one. Especially new riders with no experience. Which makes finding parts easy

    I think I saw his future parts flaying around Atlanta today. GSXR with a guy wearing a tank top, shorts, and a $700 Arai helmet. Oh yeah a dealer tag. Stalled out at a light a couple of times but kept trying to do wheelies wherever he went when he wasn't darting around in traffic.

    Just be sure to check your local telephone poles. He'll probably be there soon.

    Squids are great. Without them Youtube would just plain suck.

    but everyone uses this word squid a lot. Hey you used to be a squid as well. I mean **** I did the opposite of what everyone said...I bought an RC51 for a first bike, and a brand new RC51 at that with 0 miles. Almost 6k miles later I've had close calls, tanks slappers, and my share of stall outs, but I'm still here still learning and still riding.

    Its ok dude...fix that **** and keep going. But like everyone said Ebay the ****...and then get The Bucky to paint it.

    I usually use the term "Squid" to describe people with no riding experience at all and got a new bike like a GSXR600, R1, etc becuase they wouldn't be caught dead riding a SV650, FZ6, GS00 or even an older less powerful bike becuase they won't look as cool.

    It'd be like a 16 year old coming on here and saying "Hey. This is my first day driving and I got a Bugati". At what point does that sound smart?

    Now yes I've seen people get on R1s and never ridden a bike and come out fine. But experienced riders can loose control of a bike much less a newbie.

    By the way the RC51s are nothing but sweet.

    The SV650s that my buddy owned was the most fun bike I ever rode. My buddy who owned an R1 would ask to trade with him in rides sometimes becuase he loved how it handled in the twisties. Plus he liked how it wheelied.
