Took the rear wheel off so I can drop it off to get a new Conti Road Attack tire mounted tomorrow...

 

Rode it to work, then school, then home.
Tightened the chain, test-rode it; tightened the chain more.
Went for gas and added a bottle of carburator cleaner.
$12.51
3.2 gallons.

:thumbsup:

 

Went to the beach with with a friend and took some nice pictures on the pier. Cops ran us off after the Coast Guard reported us. We took some nice pictures and didn't get any tickets. Good Day!

 

Greased rear wheel bearings - had a new Continental Road attack mounted and balanced on rear wheel and put the wheel back on...

 

I removed all the stickers and got seat shaved

 

i unbolted the lower subframe bolts to see how it looks with a higher tail

stock:

lower mount moved back about an inch raises the back end of the tail about 4 inches:

compare the two:

i think it's just a tad too high. i'm gonna play with it and see what i can do.

 

Rode home in the POURING rain. I did get my new Two Bro's exhaust on, though. And I have my heated grips ready to install. ;D

 

Changed oil and Filter - Mobil1 15W-50 fully synthetic oil and Purolator ML16818 oil filter.

 

Installed the Stebel air horn, what a difference. L bracket the unit to lower radiator bolt, threadlock everything, relay under the seat, wiring was pretty simple. Now I'm looking for an excuse to use it.

 

Went for a ride with new Conti Road Attacks and tried out homemade bike turntable.

Today I rode it to work. Last night I installed DougZ's swingarm sliders/spools, and added a little flash to the lid

Before:

After:

 

painted mustard rims gold on the bobber

Got Vrod Headlight for the S1 build.

 

Took off the grab bar, cleaned the rims a little, stared at it while trying to think of what color I want to paint it(has rash from the previous owner).

 

Took off the clubman bars, removed all the blue painter's tape, reinstalled the stock handlebars and stock mirrors, reconnected all the lights - she's ready to start a new chapter as a commuter-oriented bike. No more track days for the forseeable future. I'm sad and excited at the same time.

 

Aw... why no more track days?

 

Pushed on my rods via combustion pressure and shed speed via converting kinetic energy into heat energy.

 

Rode it to work through the persisting rain.....despite having to make about ten thousand stops along the way for various reasons....all of which required removing helmet, gloves, etc etc etc.....not exactly ride of the week stuff....

 

beware of noob

Reattached my shift lever - came off on my way to work

 

Bought it...well yesterday.

Today I just eye-f*cked the sh!t out of it.

 

Bought it...well yesterday.

:vroom:

 

Nothing. Can't ride her until the UPS man shows up. :'(

 

I abused it, hosed it off and took it's picture.

 

Rode it to the coffee house 30 miles away and rode back. Thrilling!

 

Oil change... violent ride to the UPS store.
