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.

nothing, but i rode it yesterday after it quit raining. adjusted the chain again and its oh so sweet to ride again. had the chain a little to tight initially. the trades off of living in Florida,
you dont have to deal with the snow and cold, but it rains a lot, ussually the days you planned on riding.

Rode to work, rode home in the snow, again... Why is it that it never snows at the weekend, or during the night so I don't take the **** bike to work, it has to snow when I'm in the basement in the office so I don't even know til I walk out at 5.30, and everything's gone white :rolleyes: Still, didn't die, so that's OK. Thought I was going to drop it round the back of the garage though, my foot was sliding around as I went for the sidestand...

Mountain bike tomorrow, I do like ghosting past all the stuck cars on my unstoppable .2 bhp ATV ;D

Fitted my 5.5" Marvic Penta magnesium wheel to the bike. It took a little machining of the cush drive along with 17mm axle adapters/spacers, to get the wheel centered. I also had to machine the caliper bracket to line it up, but I'm planning to make a complete new bracket so that is a little stronger and it stays lined up when the wheel is off.

rode home in the pouring rain, rewired and relocated my GI pro ATRE after it cut out on me. adjusted my clutch, drank some beer, cleaned my air filter, inflated tires (love my air compressor) debafled the street extreme. (cant help it, it sounds so good)

still need to replace the rashed can, but i cant decide on another stainless scorp street extreme but with a carbon tip, or something else. also ordering r6 throttle tube tonight, and new motrax bar end mirrors and v-strom handguards to replace my crash damaged stuff. plus more oil and chain lube on saturday. it never ends

I'm trying to clean up the dang chain a bit after I installed my new clutch shift rod, the one I made. Works great from what I can tell. Anyway, trying to pull the chain I cut my knuckle pretty good. Blood spraying everywhere, ok not that bad. Still can't ride though. Argh.
