Written By: Ralph Antonio

So, my brother Russ decided to get himself a bike. Being a good older brother & not wanting him to ride alone; I also decided to purchase a bike! After a few quick riding lessons, with my good friend Hue running beside his bike, while I rode it…hehehe; I purchased the brand new 2006 Yamaha R6! Within a couple weeks, some minor modifications were made & I was happy! Andrenaline rush, it definitely is! Open stretch of road, watch out!
