Just got inside from a wash & wax. In the process I discovered that I have a crack in my front fairing from where I dropped it almost three months ago. Obviously it's not much of a crack if it took me three months to notice it, but I'm still a little bummed.
 
removed my wheels to get the tires changed so that i can save over a hundred dollars in labor. the dealer charges $135 to remove and change the tires... a little steep in my opinion... removing the wheels took about 10 mins. ;D
 
I debadged my lady today once I got home from a quick jaunt for gas and spin around the block. Still having troubles removing the rear SUZUKI sticker b/c the PO pulled a wheelie and scrubbed the tail up some, so I gotta go get my girl's hairdryer and some Goo Gone to remove it. Kept the manufacturer sticker on the frame for nostalgia though =)
 
I installed an ON and OFF switch to my ignition wire under my tail compartement, way better than an alarm and only $5. I would create a how to, but I do not know how to create my own thread so if someone reallllllly wants to know how, you know what to PM me (instructions). Im not computer illiterate and ive tryed to find it in the FAQ and the noob threads, it just must not be on my screen, whatever it is. HELP.
 
I also got plates for my SV today bought it on Sunday and put over 200 miles on it since on my old plates that expired a month ago. I couldn't wait for registering it to ride it. So I'm finally on the road legally. It feels good!
 
put on black vortex clip-ons and rode to Americade(pretty decent sized "touring" rally in lake george ny) with the guys and fam........had a good time and ate too much ice cream
 
Gave it another day of rest and rode my bicycle to work, last week at the Rally it got a helluva workout.
 
Oiled chain and adjusted headlights. This morning, I rode that sh-t to work. Then I'm going to ride it to class. And THEN I'm going to ride it home.
