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.

I rode it like I stole it. Then, I brought it home and changed the oil and filter. Next weekend it gets a chain cleaning/lube.

Rode my bike to work, swept the dirt, rocks and ashes from the front entryway to where me and other guys park their motorcycles, now I hear there's a fire in the Cleveland Nat'l Forest. So now Ortega Hwy is closed which is where we were Sunday - see post #1350. Bummer!

Update: they were on it!

Monday afternoon the highway was closed from Antonio Parkway outside San Juan Capistrano and extended to Grand Avenue in Riverside County, said California Highway Patrol Officer Denise Quesada. Fire in the area broke out at 2:24 p.m. about 2.5 miles east of the San Juan Fire Station in Orange County and spread alongside the roadway, said Matt LaVoire of the Cleveland National Forest. About five acres burned before firefighters got a handle on the flames, Quesada said. Fire crews from the Orange County Fire Authority, U.S. Forest Service and Riverside County firefighters battled the blaze.

Yay!

I designed a simple zig zag graphic thats black with silver highlights to match my yellow and silver bike. I scetched it up based off a few designs I have seen on other bikes. I will have my buddy print it up for me at his vinyl shop. Add a suzuki label across the belly pan and probably call it a day. I have the head lights tinted over with yellow tint to match the paint which has a great custom look when the lights are off.

What do ya think?

Last week I rode her to her new home - detached two car garage PLUS a basement garage with workroom. :D Today, rode her to work in the cold.

This weekend I'll be working on setting up the work garage so I have a place to do some winter mods. :D

Rode to work and had to explain to a Harley guy why my sportbike is built like it is.

Him: It's a chain drive, you guys don't have shaft drive?

Me: ...no.

Him: Only one shock in back, why?

Me: My bike is 380lbs, yours is 780.

Him: What's this thing sticking out the side of your engine.

Me: It's a frame slider, it helps to save my bike should it go down.

Him: Funny, me and my friend couldn't figure it out, never seen one before.

Me: *cough* *gets on bike and leaves*

I took the plastics off the track bike and sent them to IL to be painted. I can't wait to get them back and see it on the bike.
