mechanic1990 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I just bought my first bike back in February. Its a 2009 FZ6R stripped to a naked street fighter. I have already put about 800 miles on it in the last few weeks. I just got new tires on it today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aforrest4 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I have been to both Jennings and Roebling this year on the race bike. Ridden a few ex police bikes over the winter. But haven't had the Superduke out yet this year. May try to dust it off tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZ Kari Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Nope, but ready to go. Jason bought me new gloves, which I'm super excited about. I'll probably go for a short ride tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Panic Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I have. She has only broke down on me twice so far out of the four or five rides. Got a good shakedown last weekend, and I am looking forward to doing it again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Had the CB out for a couple short 30-mile warm ups including today. Changed the oil and lubed the chain. Weather next weekend is looking nice. Time for a longer ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Ninja still needs some assembly before it's ready to ride, but the sumo got an afternoon hop last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 6 hours on the V-Strom yesterday - this time included gravel, dirt, mud and a couple of small streams. So fun - I could get addicted to that kind of riding! My back and neck are telling me about it today though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I didn't delete my vote to change it, but I officially got the tuna out on the road for a few miles yesterday. Knock-on-wood, it doesn't feel like the carburetor needs to be touched this spring. Ran great, aside from some valve noise (cam-chain noise?) that was present when I threw the cover on last year. Hell, even the tires held 30+ psi all winter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 So glad you had fun, and I am typically sore after riding with Craig. You were right about Craig by the way - great guy all around.I felt pretty good yesterday evening, but today... my neck and shoulders are a little pissed off. Nothing like your arm though! [emoji16]Tonight I ordered a Weld86 skid plate on his advice and a center stand for chain maintenance. I can see myself leaving the pavement more often now that my cherry is gone.
