durk Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Made a run to SEO. Ran some roads the opposite direction I normally do to mix things up. Hit 255 and even ran a gravel road due to a road closure on 22. The gravel gave me flashbacks of @NinjaDoc connectors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSharek Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Removed a mouse nest from my air filter. My dryer outlet is about 20 feet from my garage and it was almost exclusively dryer lint and mouse hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusadee Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 On 6/17/2020 at 9:38 PM, what said: @jacobhawkins helped with some vinyl wrap on the R1. It is now no longer a 100% carbon fiber color scheme. Hey what kind of wrap was used? And is it hard to do? Ive really been wanting to change up the color on my ZX14R.

Lots of little nooks and crannies/uneven edges, rounded corners, etc add to the difficulty. The stuff I wrapped wasn't that hard but it took a little while and patience. It's cheap enough that it's worth trying though at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hair dryer would probably be just fine. My heat gun has a Hot and Lava setting. Hot was plenty. Definitely better with 4 hands instead of 2. One guy holds the sheet while the other does the sticking. Edited July 15, 2020 by jacobhawkins 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Went for a short ride this evening near my house. Thought I’d play some country music through my headphones to hopefully keep a slow pace. That plan didn’t work much past the driveway. It was a fun hour and half with no cops spotted anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Installed some new crash bars, looks better and closer to being ready for a little more off road fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Slabbed to meet the Wunderboys last night. Today was 438 miles of Appalachian shenanigans. Had some river trout. Showed Tony the race line on WV-20. Time for a shower, some beverages and maybe a cigar to reward a ride well done. I want to ride Tony's bike, but he used up all the sticky stuff. Perhaps next time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hat is off to you gents. Well done. I have been enjoying my early weekday morning sprints around the Hocking Hills area with little to no traffic and tree shade covering. Got multipule curve and elevation changes that will suffice till temps drop and I can do a day ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Nice, short blast home on some majorly fun roads. First overnight WV trip of the year for me and long overdue. I got home around 2:30, had a mile of sprinkle before pulling in the garage. Left my disgustingly odorous helmet and riding suit hanging on the porch, showered, ate, passed out... conscious again. Thanks, @Tpoppa and @Skinny guy for the amazing ride. It was a great time. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Put down 300 miles of twisty roads with a couple rookie ish riders. Kinda cool to see the fellas getting more comfortable on the bikes and confident with there lines. Looks like West Virginia woulda been a lot more fun but couldn’t get away for 2 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have begun off-road mods. Tires being installed, aux lights pulled, passenger pegs pulled, mud deflector pulled. Began the final drive service and the gear lube looked good. No burnt smell or large pieces of casting. The splines also look good and no water inside the swingarm. I will probably yank the mirrors and install those ugly ball-in-socket mirrors. I will also install a final drive relocation breather kit, lower engine guard braces and plug the red pill into the harness. Down the rabbit hole I go... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Nice day for a ride from Lake Erie down to Mohawk Dam. Hit some of my favorite roads in the area and explored some of the gravel roads off of 715. And finally, rode the gravel road that accesses the base of the dam. Only 225 miles, but hey, I’m retired. I can go again tomorrow. 😎 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahoo Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Thanks for the offer, but I’m not going off road on this whale. I’m too old to be picking this thing up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
