Dang. Bet that ran a pretty penny. I'd love to have a 20" 17.

Yeah, it wasn't cheap but with how rare they are, I decided to splurge.

You have to have 50hrs PIC X-country time and 40hrs simulated/actual instrument to get your IR part 61. These are what I'm working on now, hence the offer to trade safety pilot time to build simulated IMC.

Also, for an ATP, the highest level of license, you need 1500hrs, plus 300hrs XC unless you meet one of a few exemptions that lower it to 1250 (military pilot for example)

I'm sure his friend is working towards one of these licenses, but already has his PPL, and that's why he is building time.

And here I sit at lowly 180 hrs, but did that in only 14 months.

Beats my 138 logged hours. Last hour I logged was in 2007. I fly right seat with friends and family every chance I get, but I don't have time, money, or reason to get current again right now. Other priorities will keep winning out for a least a few more years.

Yep, something like that. Already PPL and needing to build time for whatever is next. He's doing/done with Instrument and working on the Twin engine stuff, but all is just time and money. (literally has neither) Working 2nd job to pay for training and fuel, which he has no time for because of work. Circle of life?

This was a cross country "technically" for those hours he's a bit short on. It's odd to think a 100 mile trip is cross country, but it is.

Bought my dream bike today. 2010 Yamaha R1. Purchased from the original owner with 4K miles. I'm trying to figure out how to upload a video of the exhaust because these crossplane motors sound like nothing else on the road.

That was my last bike riding experience...just going thru the gears...look down doing about 120MPH, promptly exited the highway and returned the keys to my buddy. Told him to never give me the keys again!! Freakin awesome!

Videos up! I have wanted one of these since 2009 and finally found the perfect one. Hell he only lived five minutes from me too. I scored a smoking deal on it so it all worked out great.
