I had a deposit on it. It is in Milwaukee and I didn't have the motivation to fly out and bring it home. It is a nice bike and the 2015 I rode last month was fast and nimble. I just couldn't get excited about it enough to justify the purchase.

The more I slept on the Yamaha, the less in love with the idea I was. I already have a very nice touring bike. I needed to replace the FZ6 with something more suited for hooliganism. The Hyper was priced right, so I took it for a spin. I decided I had to have it. So.. no, it is not a Yamaha.

You know... you are a shitty person.

300 zoomy miles on the Hyper. I am going to get in serious trouble on that bike. It invites irresponsible behavior and then rewards the shit out of it.

Roscoe Village. Asshole.

Is it cool if I change your sn from "redrocket" to "slipperycarrot"?

Startron.

Yes, but it has gotten better. I haven't worked a weekend in almost two months. I have to work this weekend, though. Boo!

I imagine the intricacies of the linked system play the larger role. Which lever does what to which caliper and how much, etc.

No reverse? Oh, the humanity!!

I don't like ringing doorbells without being expected. It gives me anxiety, because not everyone is on my schedule. I do not want to cause stress for someone's home. Home should be free from anything you have not invited.

You know... Jim's level of text archiving sort of makes me uncomfortable.

Excellent. Now I can put gas in my bike without thinking about rapping your front door. Ahem... Jim.

Might have to change it to "SendBailMoney".

It is going to be an expensive winter.

Did somebody say "sport-tour"?

The Chipper Dipper is a 5 gallon pale filled half way with water, which has floating bird seed on top. Squirrel climbs ramp, falls into bucket, struggles for its poor little, pathetic life until it eventually tires and drowns.

Guilty, except for the sugar free part. I ain't nobody's bitch.

Chipper Dipper will out-smart them.

First: Engineers are most certainly asshats. Welcome to my reality. Second: The likelihood of any sort of catastrophic failure by following the maintenance schedule is virtually non-existent. Case in point: Danimal's SV650 with 200k+ miles and not one single valve inspection, let alone adjustment. If you sleep better changing it more often, then I suggest you do that....sleep is always good . Third: See "First".

Fuck cats.

Dino-fueling to NC to huck some gnar trail...or, however you say "ride it in the woods" in MTB speak.

Yeah... my money is on a hole in the piston crown. Regardless, that shit sucks. Sorry, man.
