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.

Woke up in Eureka Springs, AR - came back home to Topeka, KS on it, smiling all the way. Managed a little over 50 MPG on the way back. Made it on two tankfulls.

Pulled the ballistic nylon pants off from over the jeans, pulled the luggage off the bike and kissed the g/f.

A fine end to a wonderful three day trip.
This is what life was made for.

Unpacked the trailer she's gonna be riding on to the rally. Now to plan the decking. Don't think I will have time to paint it this week. Also gotta get a second chock for Suzanne's bike for when I pick her up in 7 days.

Hmm........since you put a smilie there, I'm guessing it wasn't crashed. So it must have been a podium finish.

Did an oil and filter change - and then took it for a ride! Man o' man synthetic really did *feel* smoother and the engine seemed revvier with full synth compared to the Suzuki regular 10w40 *runs and hides* :D

Where do you guys find these 6 year old ME Z4 tires from?? Aren't they hard as inline skate wheels by now?? And you really need to ride more cause no one should still have on the original tires their bike were sold with 6 years later.

Lastnight I put in my 05' 636 shock, haven't had time to ride it yet but can't wait, its a great riding day, might take off early. Just waiting for my co-worker to bring in his vacuum pump so that I can get the sonic springs in.

Is this some kind of P'nis enlargement vaccuum pump? (careful of any residue before or after use)

Maybe it's tougher on an S, but I was really surprised how easy it was to remove the fork legs to do mine. Flipping and cycling the shock really gets all the stuff out.

OK, back to the topic and what I did today: I rode it HOME and let (made?) the wife see it. Owned it about 9 months and now she knows what color it is. :p

She got a ride, lube, and wash in that order.
