ludwb675 Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Oil change and swap out coolant for water wetter. Will be changing tires tomorrow. Get to try out my new no-mar setup. And also sacrificing many small animals to the one and only true god Cthulhu for no more rain and warm weather for all future track days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Rode to lunch. Gonna make a beer run. Nothing to do today but enjoy not fixing broken shit. Oh, I mean now that I fixed the neighbor's mower. For the rest of today... nothing to fix but the state of my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Finally got my leg over my bike after suffering all week with a lower lumbar strain with sciatica and on top of that a fucking hamstring pull in the other leg. Turned 40 Sunday and shit just went downhill from there... thinking the warranty expired..... anyway after wasting several days of PTO and missing out on hundreds of dollars of overtime I finally put in a day of work and wasn't in too much pain so took the squid missile for a scream after work. Killed a lot of bugs, bike will need a wash (there's a thread for that now). Highlight of the ride was being stuck behind a wagon train of 40 mph SUV's coming back up out of amish country and having an opportunity to pass them all when I crested a very tall, long hill. At the bottom was a young amish man driving a buggy. So I flick left of center, grab a gear and screw it on, barreling down the hill aimed squarely at this amish bachelor (no beard) and switch back right of center in plenty of time for the safety of all livestock and people involved and I look over and he's throwing me the thumbs up and smiling as I pass him at triple digits. Hope he makes the right decision come rumspringa, gets a job at autozone and buys a ninja 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 I went to change the front brake pads but when I realized they were still half the thickness of a brand new set I decided against changing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that right before my trip out west last year. Decided to put the new ones on anyway and hung the old ones on a nail in the garage to be put back on later.

Pauly Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 His pace through the corners was quick enough to surprise me. I led down 44/542/39 and he mentioned he would like to go a little faster. I said he could lead on the way back, but to watch his entry speed and make sure to not ride faster than his eyesight can see. He zoomed along about 60mph and I only saw his brake light a couple times as he set up for the tighter corners. His lines need work, but they weren't terrible. He never had to readjust once he nosed into the turn, but he did run a little wide on a couple. He stayed in his lane, though. He needs some track time. That is my next project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if you see that brake light stay on during/after tip in after a few track days lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 2talltim Posted July 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Made a radiator guard for the wifes scout. Turned out way nicer than i thought it would. Used a old screen door protector, left over paint, silicone adhesive and a lot of time and patience. Total out of pocket cost $0 This is why it was needed...only 2500 miles on this bike. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
