redriderRR

Awhile ago i was coming up on my bikes 16k service, living very close to Honda NW i went in for a estimate and some parts, i was needing some basic stock honda decals for my belly pans, just instead of stock white i wanted red, after being told they would come in red, they came in silver, then if i wanted to re-order and they were not correct i would be charged a stocking fee, the dealership did not know what color they were ordering in the computer, it was only a code, granted i was not ordering the correct colors for my bike, but the ones i wanted were still a factory color for a completely stock factory bike.Honda NW said they had never seen a Honda CBR600RR completely black w/ red decals, and after overhearing the conversation, one of the gentleman behind the counter told the others that he had seen the bike and knew exactly what it was, a graphite black cbr. After he walked away they quickly told me that he had worked for Harley Davidon before, as if he didnt know what he was talking about. So i said forget it and proceeded to get a estimate for service,not only was the price considerably higher than other shops, i felt like i was bothering someone to get noticed. After that i decided to try Honda Marysville,rode up there,was extremely impressed with the facility,ordered the same decals, again they came in silver, but the parts man, told me he would find the correct ones i wanted, i figured "yea right", but the next day i get a call telling me that he had went online researched the all black cbr w/ red decals and already made the order for my belly pan decals, and he would let me know if they were correct or not. I was impressed that he went out of his way to try and make me happy. A few days later i get the call, that my decals are in and they are in fact red, exactly what i had wanted from the start, but a task to difficult and bothersome for Honday NW to handle.So i got my decals, and Honda Marysville got my 16k service, my brake and coolant flush, and all my future service. I will gladly travel right by Honda NW to go out of my way to Honda of Marysville.

hoping to get into track days next year at mid-ohio,never been on a track before and want to start, just need some basic info about doing trackdays. like the fees i should expect to pay to get on track, just general prices of things, also the rules for getting on at mid-ohio, taped lights,etc... and just what to expect. any info would be helpful, thanks.

not me, i was in the area about 5:30 though, sad , i ride 27 miles each way to work,pretty much all highway, everyday has close calls...

so did this car/bike show gets cancelled and re-scheduled to today ?? ?

wonderin if anybody has used exhaust wrap on their pipes to keep heat down, just put on yoshi RS-5 slip on and am noticing more heat on my right leg where the pipe goes up under the seat. does exhaust wrap really work that great ?

im workin on puttin up pics, they're all to big to upload, but was parked out front, red/black CBR, next to black R6.

i came out and met some people on the dyno day, but just finally got around to getting set up on here, anyway nice to meet u all......
