Went for my typical ride to get a coffee. Something I do as often as possible when I only have an hour or two.Usually a 50 mile ride tonight I turned it into an eighty mile ride. The town I go to is Chagrin Falls and this weekend they are having the Blossom Time Festival. So the town is all done up for the event.

The Famous Popcorn Shop.

started it up for first time since november!!!
going to get it Colorado Registered tomorrow!
YAYYYYY
i bet a bath is in order too
 
Taking my tail to the painter, got a race tail cheap on ebay. It needs quite a bit of fiberglass repair and paint. Really want to get a custom subframe for it, but gonna run the stocker for awhile, I've been off a bike for too long! :(
 
For my SV: I ordered this chin spoiler. To my knowledge, it is known as the "Poly 26" belly pan to us. Let's just hope it only takes a few weeks to get here at $213 shipped from UK versus nearly $350 if I bought it from a US company that might be able to get it to me in a week.

Good luck on a week - they told me something totally different. Customs has been holding stuff big time. Poly 26 was another reseller like TwinShack - It's a Bikeside or copy
 
Met up with a few ocmoto peeps and rode locally - Santiago and Live Oak canyon roads.

One of the guys with the R6 has only been riding a few months, just wears a vest. The other R6 guy is a stunter, also has a Harley.

And yes the R6's are matching colors, I asked them if they were keyed the same - they are not.
 
Pulled the SV out of storage and rode it around for a while before bringing it back on base. First time I've seen it or been able to ride for a month. Felt good.
 
I rode the bike for the first time on the 5th bought a new alpine jacket and icon airframe tyranny helemt. and gloves changed the brake and turn signals with led lights to match the front and put over 800 miles on it. and then sadly put it away for four months into a storage unit with my truck!
 
Bought her a pair of GSXR 4 Pot Calipers, Adapter Plates, and EBC HH Pads....

She's happy! (I haven't told her I'm cutting off her toolbox yet) LOL
 
just installed my ZG DB and took it for a 200 km trip :)
 
I dropped off a birthday card to a cute nurse who's birthday is on Friday that drew my blood when I went in to donate on Monday.
-"Nice bike"

And donate blood! It will save a life, and driving a motorcycle, you just may need the favor returned some day!
 
Bought a 2007 GSXR 600 front wheel with rotors off Craigslist for $200. I thought I was being clever until about 30 minutes into my road trip to get it 1.5 hours away; I realized I wasn't getting a good deal because I would be missing about $100 worth of work if I stayed at home, plus gas money and the possibility of getting a speeding ticket... and I had to sit in traffic part of the way. Now, if I find the rotors are warped when I install them, I won't have any recourse like I would if I'd bought them off eBay... which would have only cost ~$350 shipped probably. IDIOT!!
