And here's a couple of the finished front end - if anything is ever really finished...

No. I did not ride. I drove over 1000 miles for it, though.

Unfortunatly, I guess I'm essential. I took 5 consecutive Fridays off to grind stumps, till, haul 5 yards of topsoil, rake, and plant grass. But this is what I have now.

Yup. There's one around the gulch area that will spit you out where the old track and new track come together.

I assume you want USD forks, then you'll definitely need different triples. I have a 2nd gen Bandit with Hayabusa forks. It wasn't too difficult. I had to use the stock steering stem but everything else is 'busa. There are a lot more guys in England who do things like this and a few machine shops over there that make custom triples to match your bikes stem to the forks you want. The US dollar is strong vs the British pound so, even with overseas shipping, it's not as expensive as you might think. You might try trolling some of the Brit forums for better info than you can get here. A 650 is also considered a bigger bike over there so more guys are modding them than you'll find on this side of the pond. Here's a pic of the top triple I had made in England.

Well, we've decided to make it a more real vacation and get out there as soon as gates open on Friday. Can't wait! Picks for the Supersport race wins?

Part 4...first 50 seconds or so were me explaining how I was having issues this day and not many camera angles....

Lots of social distancing. I am in the early stages of my ADV mutation. I would like to do the TransOhioTrail this fall and then move on to more off-road adventures. Mostly, I hate clean motorcycles.

Not as much fun as bike building, but here's before and after in my backyard this spring. I had about 1000 sq ft of dying English ivy that is now lawn.

I have owned it for 6 years. It had 40,000 when I traded my 43,000 mile 2006 Busa for it. 130 mph indicated.
