Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

But what happens when you drop your 1/2" drive socket wrench on one of those tiles?

You bust up the tile and replace it! ;D
Actually if the tile was set with a real good bed of mud then the chance of busting a tile with a drop is less then if the thin set was spread to "thin".
I've dropped a few things on them and they've held up pretty good. They are laid on concrete though so there is plenty of support underneath there, no risk of them bending to the point of cracking as if they were laid on top of plywood.
As far as keeping it clean, it's a piece of cake, I just use a pressure washer that I use to clean my car and it takes care of the whole thing!

Went for a ride in the rain to ACH with 10 other ocmoto guys today.
I'm heading home on the 91 Fwy and people are hitting the brakes. I hit my brakes and they lock-up, I'm kinda sliding sideways like a speedway bike. Thought I might hit the car in front of me but was able to let off the brakes and throttle enough to stand me back up and I split the lane and went on my merry way, lol.
I bet the guy behind me thought I was going to crash.

Finally got it registered. After 3 weeks and 1,700mi I fianlly have plates ;D
Previous owner and I didn't know that in his state the seller has to have his sig noterized, so I had to mail the title back to him and wait for him to mail it back.
I also got my garage cleaned up so I can pull the motor on my 02 on Sunday.

I was finally able to install the .85 Sonic Springs. They feel great, the bike feels much more stable, I didn't realize how bad it actually was untill now. One thing thats worrying me though is the cotter pin on the bottom of the fork cap interferes with the pvc spacer because the its so thick. I could hear it scraping it as I turned the preload adjuster. I realize now I should have taken a picture...but has anyone noticed this cause it seems like it would cause uneven pressure around the top of the spring...plus when you turn the preload its shaving off the pvc which could get into the dampening port and maybe even clog it.
Anyways aside from that I also got my seat back from Spencer with the LD option...it feels greattttttt. And I also put on a pair of grip puppies...the extra grip feels good, I'm happy with them. So overall a great day of upgrades!

My new Bridgestone BT-021 tires arrived at my door step so I'll have them put on Monday. Went for a 88 mile trip with a friend and my brother in law through the Kettle Moraines, also saw a number of riders out as we have races here at Road America this weekend.

Didn't see a stopsign as it was hiding behind a tree, behind a curve, with no "Stop Ahead" sign. Pulled out of the slide still upright, but something caused my gearshifter to transform into a gearshitter, and now it will not shift. Yay!
Then stood by the side of the road for two hours in the dark waiting for the tow
