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.

Put the touring tires back on (on silver rims).

Put the DL650 handguards back on.

Put the CB antennae back on.

Moved the ground mount for the CB antennae.

Proceeded to strip the castle nut.

So here I am 5 days from leaving for Indy and my bike is out of comission, **** me.

I'll be at the shop doors at 9am tomorrow, this means I loose nearly 2 hours of shooting photos at the track.

Went on my Sunday ride, was next to a 07 GSXR, told me he went down - saw the scrap marks on left fairing. I said "yeah it's going to happen, light turns green I take off. Didn't see him then he goes by me doing a standup wheelie.

As I was going through a canyon turn I got distracted and came close to going off the road. Made it home in one piece.

And on the way home I rode behind a Ferrari for a while, a red convertible with the glass hood, they sound sooo sweet!

Utilized combustion pressure to twist my crank, allowing the following to happen:
Rode to work, skirting around the branches and debris left on the roads from last night's windy rain.
Rode home.
Waited until the sun got low and went for a good ride as the sun was setting.
Tires worked very well.

Took her to work and back, filled up the tank, and took her for a little ride on some back roads
