Careful on that thing (not of your driving, but every @$$ on the road)! I had a Suzuki GSX600F2 (probably the older version of that bike, because it looks almost exactly the same, except the Fairing).
I like this thread.

MX-3 was a former daily driver but now goes out mostly on wknds, when I can keep'r on the road

Commuting/freeway driving in Wash DC area absolutely sucks so...
...here's one of a few "daily drivers" for commuting 2-4 days each week. Gas mileage is unbelievable although it does consume a 50/50 mix of gatorade/H2O

I'm lucky to live within riding distance to work and have locker/shower facilities @job location. Pic is from an Oct. '07 Saturday ride.

Well...I figured I would update this, old pics of my suby daily/beater are on page 1 / first post.
As it sits now:
17inch BBS wheels "aggresive" offset of +35 vs. stock +55
Color matched / painted hood, rear bumper, driver side door
Not pictured but added:
-ground wire kit
-throttle body spacer
-super-short ram intake (Filter sits underneath the hood scoop)
-lightweight (NOT-underdrive) crank pulley
-05 STI catback exhaust
-eibach 1inch drop springs (still has a huge wheel well gap
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
)
-rear fold down seat back
![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
(was so annoying having the fixed back seat that did not fold, but a good find at the junkyard fixed that)
Have, but not installed
-intake manifold phenolic spacers
Not really anymore plans for it, but it will probably need a new clutch soon
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
and i am getting rust on the rear wheel arches, both sides
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

Okay, here are my peripheral vehicles:
My "Daily Driver", that I don't drive much because the other one is more fun, and my 33' RV before I painted it silver.
Actually, it's been nice doing roadtrips in the stock one, because it's more quiet, and smooth.
The RV in it's "natural" habitat:
Being painted:
My Euro spec Mercedes 450 SLC. It has 130,000 original miles, and was rebuilt less that 5,000 ago.
It has rare blue leather intrior in perfect shape. It even smells new.
My Tandem bike that I put an 80cc motor on. It gets to about 35 mph with me and Sarah on it.
My friends resting:
I have some other toys, but these are the major ones

the Festy is my daily ride, I can't wait to play in the snow with my HUGE 13" tires and 2" suspension lift thanks to some Aspire suspension I just installed. It's an on going project too, but became my dd when my Blazer started to separate body from frame, lol!
ps-every oil spot in my driveway is from that damn blazer! Chevy sux

My other project car is a 1978 Ford Mustang II Mach 1 V8 T-top. (300hp + 100hp shot of nitrous 2800LBS!)
I call it my winter beater, but I drive it all year round! 1993 Mazda 323 460000KM!!!
