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.

Tried to cut off my stock exhaust with a hacksaw then got pi$$ed off cuz it was taking so **** long so I had my g-pa ask his buddy who said he would cut it off and put the new VIPER slip-on for me for FREE and even weld it together!!! Gotta love the elderly people's ;D
Rode in with my new SHOEI RF-1000 helmet. Bike feels completely different because of my previous HJC FS-10. I'm more alert and focused because it allows ambient sounds in but isn't noisy and I'm not wearing a fish bowl.
Removed, drained toasted 15wt oil, disassembled, and cleaned springs, spacers, washers, and emulators. Adjusted emulators at 2.5 turns on 64lb springs. Filled forks with 20wt Spectro fork oil to 129mm and reassembled.
Time to enjoy an even stiffer front suspension that matches my GSXR shock even better.

oil/filter change, coolant change, new spark plugs, and rigged up a cigarette lighter adapter.
cleaned it with waterless cleaner and fixed my right rear turn signal (shorting out b/c of PO's duct tape job, used to work though)
LOST1888, I will make a better video and put it on here for you tomorrow. There were a lot of "elderly" people around and I didn't wanna **** them off. They can get pretty feisty when you **** them off
Drove it to Philly (well, yesterday)... Tomorrow, I'll ride it home to NY, and clean + lube the chain.
Waiting for parts for my damper rebuild (Arrrg!). Polished and clear coated outer tubes and repainting the headlamp brackets.
Whoa, should have done the chain clean + lube before I left for my weekend trip. I stopped by Manayunk Triumph to see what was doing, and while I was out front checking out the bikes I gave my chain a nudge with my foot -- way too much slack, I could about touch the chain to the swingarm on the lower side. I snagged an appropriately sized cotter pin from one of the techs at the dealership, and just finished up the adjustment. Glad I noticed that before I headed back to NY!
Oil change, adjust the clutch, clean the chain, get the chicken strip down to <1/2" on the right side.
Ran out to get an early edition paper, breakfast, smokes for the wife, and paintbrushes. Stopped and looked at carpet for the sunporch. The owner asked if I was planning on bringing it home today. It was so hard to keep a straight face as I said "yes." I had planned on a good long ride, but my head just wasn't in it today. Kept making stupid little errors in judgment and came home before I got squished.
Rode one SV today. Another one is getting a tire change and tidy up before being sold this coming week. =(
