That's already gone.

If it had ABS I would have already mailed a check. It's a smoking deal on a pristine classic and I have no place to store it.

Never failed him? It's practically brand new!

I don't have time to build you a shed.

And hopefully centered..you neanderthal.

Jacket and Pants. Used for 2022 season. Comes with original armor, MINUS BACK PROTECTOR. No tears or snags. EDIT: Look.. if you know someone that could use this kit, or if your kit is showing its age , or you could use a new summer riding suit.. you can have it. I don't really feel like shipping it, but I could be persuaded to moto-meet you somewhere on a sunny day and you can buy me a sandwich, or a burrito, or a hotdog, or a pizza, or a donut, or a hot pretzel, or a macaroon, or a bbq something or other. I'm not picky.

I thought 2V Ducatis were a breeze to maintenance. This bike is a peach. The only plastics I had to remove were the tank covers, and that took five minutes. Edit: Also, gear-driven cams FTMFW!!

Valvetrain inspection today.

Ship the forks in a hard shell rifle case.

Air filter replaced in 25 minutes. I now understand @Tonik's pain. That was rough.

That dragon needs Jim glasses and a Wu Tang Clan tattoo and it would be perfect.

Then again, nobody will see it from the street. I think the SuperMario Dragon Castle is the best one. Voted.

"EXPENSIVE MOTORCYCLE INSIDE"

We match, but I have the 2.7TT. I love the 36 gallon tank, but when fuel was ~$5/gallon I spent $175 filling it. That sort of sucked.

I have front row seats to that shitshow... ehrm, airshow.

12k service began today. Drained the crankcase and final drive. Waiting for my super magnetic uber drainplugs to arrive before I close and refill. Then comes spark plugs, air cleaner, fuel filter and valve gap inspection. So ready for a ride.

I wasn't trying to. I just was.

Jim is a legend only in his own mind.

Totes gonna splode, bruh.

I think the compromise of a new spyder to your retirement from servicing it satisfies all parties involved. Congrats.

And they haven't improved all that much.

How's the sausage?

Large group rides are overrated, but I definently enjoy rolling with the usual suspects that I know and trust. Crashing is never off the table, but it can be mitigated with competent riders. A failure I see more than anything is a lack of understanding between new riders and veteran riders on what constitutes a ride. While I firmly stake my flag in the soil of "personal accountability", some folks get in over their heads. The difference between riding a bike to work every day and riding a bike in the twisties is massive. It is not the same thing in the slightest to the average rider. I have a friend that has been riding for decades, but he commutes. When we hit the mountains he can't begin to stay on pace with the rest of us. He just doesn't have that skillset because it isn't how he rides. He can pilot a bike, but he has to do it at his own pace. Luckily, he's mature enough to recognize this and doesn't try to keep up. That plays a major role.. personal accountability and leaving ego at the house.

Yippee Ki-Yay...
