Jose Pasillas, the drummer for the rock band Incubus (www.enjoyincubus.com), took delivery of a 2008-model Yamaha YZF-R6 in America today at Yamaha Motor Corp. U.S.A. headquarters in Cypress, California. “I’m ecstatic, to be honest,” Pasillas told Roadracingworld.com. “I don’t really have any words. I don’t want to ride it, to be honest. I just want to hang it up and make it a trophy bike. Nah, I’m excited to get on it and ride it home. It looks beautiful, man. I’m in awe right now, speechless.” Pasillas said he began riding sportbikes on the street three years ago and started attending track days on his 2005 Yamaha YZF-R6 in 2007. “We’ve been pretty much on tour for the past two years,” he said, “but I’ve been getting into it more and more and doing track days more and more. I turned my ’05 into a track bike, and I’m buying the ’08 for the street.” Pasillas said he plans to enter his first road race, a CCS/Road Race Southwest event, in Arizona in December.
