Guess what time it is?! 
Time for me to do a photo dump

Donated and shared on Facebook! 

Planning on going to this.

I'll be there!

Down 15lbs since the start of the year so far. 

I rode in the snow to one of the OR meets in Dayton once. If the road won't try and kill me (ice, slush, snow, a lot of water) then I ride. Getting caught in it is a different matter all together.

Also dude is a A+ Asshat

Once I get mine up and running, hopefully soon, I am game for some cold riding!

Even after most people have put their bikes up for the winter I will be out and about.

Won't be able to make it, I thought I was off work that day but found out I am not. 

I'll be there. Maybe have the gf with me as well but dunno yet

This dude is hilarious

He does a lot of these videos

I tried to find that thread! I thought it might have been a ZX12 and not an 11

Didn't 2fat2fly turbo a zx11 some time back? 

Maybe he can add some info if he's even active these days

I'm going to Cars and Coffee this Saturday at The Greene if anyone wants to join me.

Just remember that the expedition lands will be so sought-after that people are opening a TON of this set.... Which will depress the prices of ALL other cards.

 

that said, here's the beauty I opened last night from my case:

:D

I just want a metric shit ton of Full Art lands to sit on for a couple years. That and any Eldrazi to add to my EDH decks cause I love those big bad mother fuckers

Well time to spend money on MTG cards again. New set coming out looks to be a great investment set.

If it's only been sitting a year or two I wouldn't hesitate to try and start it after some fresh gas, it's not going to hurt it.

If you run straight pipes, you're gonna have a bad time. Open exhaust, especially on a motor tuned to run dual stock mufflers, will make this bike run for shit. Keep or gut the cans You have until you can buy what you want.

 I plan on messing with it more this weekend so I'll pick up a battery and give it a shot. I'll take your advice and just gut the stock cans for now.

Thanks guys! It's great to be messing with a bike again that's mine.

Oh, and get the right side of that subframe fixed up. Looks like it took quite a dinger to the lower leg just behind where it bolts to the mainframe

I'll take a closer picture of it next time I'm working on it but I don't think it's as bad as it looks in the picture above. Someone had spray painted parts of the frame black so where it's been scratched up it looks way worse than it actually is.

All I need is the rear tail fairings and they are pretty cheap online. ZZR fairings are cheaper than ZX-6 ones for some reason.

Messed with it a little yesterday. Was mainly tearing it down to check on a couple things. Found out I have a decent amount of plastics still for it so I don't think I will be going the full Street Fighter look but it will be partially naked. 
 
On to some pics!
 
Going to find some tail plastics since the ones I have are broken and going to clean up the upper fairing and cowl. Going to sand down the portion where the lower fairing would connect to so it doesn't look like it is missing that piece. Also planning on doing straight pipes for a bit then eventually getting 2 Two Brothers mufflers.
 


 
Going to need to fiberglass this piece back together
 

 
That's one way to hold a turn signal in place
 

 
I wanted to see how the air box looked.
 


 
And it really didn't look all that bad!
This was how far I got before I was running out of daylight and had to pack it up
 


 
Battery was shot so I removed it and the tray looks pretty clean aside from some random crap
 

Thanks to a good friend of mine I am working my way back on to two wheels! He moved to Cleveland recently and decided to give me his old bike. He hadn't ridden it in over a year and said he knew I would give it the love it deserved.

On to the pics!!!

It's a 1996 Kawasaki ZX6E (ZZR600 if I am correct)

It's definitely not the prettiest bike right now but I'll get that fixed once shes back up and running again.

Here she is the day I picked her up from his house. I am storing and doing the work at a friends house near by since I live in an apartment.

He also included the "Box O' Parts" he had for the bike when he first got it. 

First on the list to strip just about everything down and flush the fluids. All the electrical works but I didn't want to attempt to turn it over since it's been sitting for so long.

That's all I have for now but i will be updating this as I build her back up. 

I had a shark for 64, and game genies for Nintendo and super

I still have mine for my PS1 and I had a game genie for my Genesis. I have all my old systems on display at my apartment with the intent to one day have them all hooked up and running.
