The color scheme of your 1000rr is one of my favorites.

I’m glad my limited vocabulary could relate this to the math term “polynomial”otherwise I would have been left scratching my head. Thanks for expanding my vocab Pauly. 😁

Went to ride the quad this morning on my track since the ground is frozen. I’ve been having an intermittent running issue with it. It started fine and made it a quarter lap then started spitting and sputtering, then died. Got it to fire back up, spit and sputtered for another quarter and died. I had to push it probably 500 ft back to the garage. I discovered my stator and crankshaft sensor wire were rubbing on the frame and had been nearly cut in 2. After an hour or so of splicing some wires back together she was up and running like a champ. Ground was still frozen and I got to put in some much needed time on the track. Power sports are such a great way for me to escape the craziness of the world.

I know I will have to tone it way down for her to want to ride with me and I’m fine with that. She has ridden the cbr a time or 2 with me and I have taken it easy. Our daughters are 17 and 18. Soon it will just be the 2 of us. I prefer slowing it down on a motorcycle over any other options she may throw at me for hobbies for us to do.

Looks good @Killer_kaw. You do awesome work.

What all are you doing to it?

Removed the Muzzy lowering links from the Concours and installed the OEM links. Now the wait for good weather to test it out.

What are old-man touring gloves?

Thanks for the schooling

Congratulations

@platinum702 Basically the 2004-2005 manual is the same. I searched high and low for an 06 -07 and could never find one. 04 was everywhere on the web. I have used the 04 to check valves on my 06. It was perfect. I haven’t needed it for anything else.

Truth

Nice find

I had the same thoughts for the majority of my riding. I was thinking the idea of extra safety in towns/traffic could be a bonus. I also thought it might help the Mrs. feel safer about riding with me. She seems to be contemplating riding the Connie with me.

Seemed like a neat idea but I’m not necessarily sold on it.

Sounds like you’re winning.

My wife watches a lot of Shark Tank. I spotted this on there the other day. Basically a brake light that mounts to your helmet. No wiring, just mount and go I believe. https://www.brakefreetech.com/ What do you think?

Decently entertaining while I rode the exercise bike in the basement. Winter sucks.

Holy cow

That’s great. Glad it’s working out better this time around.

Bike Bandit sells a DID chain and sprocket kit for a price I have not been able beat. I got 18,000 miles on the last one on the 1000rr.

Spent some time today social distancing in the basement and playing with some toys I haven’t used in a while. It’s not finished but made some progress for sure.
