i had pmed habi earlier regarding these tires but since you guys are closer it might be easier on both of you than me driving down to get it.

Justin, Will let you know. Want to see if it sells as it is, if not will defarkle and sell. Getting rear shock off and install is such a cumbersome labor with the abs module in way plus want to see if I like striple that much. I only rode it in picture perfect pavements and not in real Ohio roads. Fjr I still love and not fully ready to sell yet. : D

Nah, Just the ones friends with you

i been scourging the internet for some time for a lighter bike, but as always never knew exactly what i want just a general theme. This time was in double mind, a lighter bike with some off road prowess to experience some real adv rides vs a lighter bike which i can take to track to exp track days. After tons of reading was sure there was no one good answer. But after thinking a lot and realizing more and more when i see Dans ride reports etc, i am not made out for such ruthless manly man rides fighting bears off and sleeping on top of tree etc. I mean i struggled a lot of years to get here not to do these any more hehehe But some day i am gonna grow a pair again and jump into those. Thus choice was narrowed to lighter bike that i can push around with my puny little body strength and possibly load into a trailer. Plus reasonably comfortable for single long day rides. So SS bikes were out. I want to get to track days and experience and learn more stuff, at the same time extrapolate that to real world riding in streets where i will still be doing most miles. and this way i hope to bring in some balance to family and my personal vacation time by trailering bike around and if at all possible get one day of riding which definitely makes a big difference. And thus narrowed the results further. After all this wall of txt, final decision making process was as simple as forest gump.. just went to gap..rode a striple... went into my head database of "zillion bikes for sale at night".com .. remembered seeing a clean striple... texted him sunday ...today was my last off day for next 1 month almost... just went to see it....... My first challenge i put on myself was if i dont feel comfortable doing "trailering" stuff i wouldn't buy it. Went to uhaul to check it out, It turns out to be an easy walk in the park, and there by shattering all my hopes of walking away from this maddness. Next obstacle i put on my mind was, if its not clean as he described i am walking away ....went in ...just wanted to see if it was as clean as he said... coz the price was fair not a steal deal. Saw the guy, older gentlemen very professional..heated garage.. And it was cleeeean ... like @Al Z. Heimer care level. Looked better than some show room stuff i seen. Oil /Brake Fluids like clear water Didnt feel like beating up the guys price and effort he put into it. And ended up bringing it home. i guess i might as well just embrace who i am. Just a mad mad motoholic fuxer i guess lol ... Sad part is i was getting to know the feejer real well after around 5 k miles on it. Hopefully i get to keep both. I usually dont do more than one bike at a time. Second sad part is i kept myself away from track days due to the trailering woes and worries. Now i realize its not a big deal, i am going to be in big trouble soon. Especially with Nelson black top ready plus a mid ohio certificate in my pocket already ........ dddddayuuuum need to resist. First time using a trailer in my life/ like driving loading etc/ tie downs etc/ will be another month before i even get to ride it, i mean might not even get time to plate it the way schedule is looking like for next one month.

Reminder again, Townsend cops are strict as per locals, some said stories of getting tagged for just 8 above. So around town just be normal riders, once off of town limit become Ohio riders again

Townsend perfect choice, good clean and ideal location, and 45 mins to gap is a nice seo kind of ride and not a crappy trafficy slab we are talking. Am In

@TimTheAzn i was confused too, then saw the goggles and recognized.

dayuuuum do you kinda give a ... coating of ..ummm ...gorilla glue or something to the sides.. just in case?

just a short video of me and @what running the skyway. I really need to get a new pc and sort out my editing set up. Cant get the freaking thing to make longer videos and the render setting no matter what ever i do sucks in older programs, need uptodate pc and programs for much cleaner videos.

+ 1 for town send area, quick jaunt down foothills and ur at gap area and can branch from there to other routes. townsend as far as i saw had decent stores/restaurants/ some activities around. Just watch out for the local PD who are strict on speed in and around the town. Me too next time will be staying around there if with family as it seems cheaper safer and not far away from local attractions.

Came home last night, or early morning 5 am. Rode all night so jr can just sleep in car and not be fuzzy during day time. I hope he remembers this when he grows up, that his dad despite living right in the middle of motorcycle paradise for a week / just rode one day with friends for namesake, and instead chose to the Ride with him on little go around piggies bees and ducks in Dollywood instead.

Nice riding and capture, it always amazed me how good your sound came out with minimal buffet on that naked bike, just the right position behind that Minu screen I guess. Those double lanes always confuses me, some times in double mind whtr to use both or stick to one.

Sounds awesome jacob, I knew u were a crazy sob but your one crazy sob with Adamatium butt to pull this off on Daytona. Maaaad Re5p3kT yo

As they say, Once you go new black top you never go sideways will try one day for sure sometime in august if dates available, and might become "atracked" to it is this more "straights" kinda track? From drone views it looks like lot of straight sessions?

Wear pattern, Looks like ur rear rebound needs to be slowed down. Just my random .002, might be wrong and worth 0 cents

Should have kept the bike another day
