Handle: Grashopr

Age: 29

Year bought first street bike: 1993

Type of bikes owned: 1989 EX500, 1992 Suzuki RM125, 1991 DR650, 1997 CBR900RR, 2001 Triumph Sprint ST, 2001 CBR600F4i, 2000 RVT1000SP1 RC51, 1997 Triumph T595 Daytona, 1998 Triumph T595 Daytona, 2001 Yamaha YZ426F, 1999 Triumph 955i Daytona, 1992 Kawasaki EX500. *8/06*added* 2006 Triumph Daytona 675, 1994? Honda CBR600F2 'racebike'.*

Certifications/Classes Etc: Out of Date 'International" (Military) Cycle Endorsement, Current Kansas State M Endorsement, Current (I think) ABATE card, Current SAFE certificate, MSF Graduate and I was one of those lame 'assistant' guys, I have painted over 300 bikes in my short (10 year) career repairing motorcycle paint and bodywork, 3 local Motocross Points Series Championship Podiums (two firsts, one second), and 42 Verified Speeding citations showing I'm dumber than the average bear.

General Experience: I got my first solid-suspensioned mini-bike the day I turned 4. I've had a bike of some sort ever since barring the summer of 1999. I put an average of 35k miles on at least one bike per year over the last 6 years. I'm not the fastest, smartest or best looking, but I'm interested in helping out someone if it's appreciate and if my assistance isn't taken for granted. I appreciate help from those I respect (most of the other guys on SBN). I've had one 'Major' crash (lost a TON of skin), and a couple of minor ones. I dont look down on anyone as long as they're riding. It dont bother me if you're a 'Squid' or a 'Cruiser' or a 'Chopper Guy' as long as you ride. My only goal is to make sure everyone gets as much enjoyment out of their bikes as I get out of myne.
