ouch haha. If I had nice new bikes like yall do I would be doing the same stuff in terms of protection. Maybe get someone to ppf your headlights to help prevent a possible rock chip or something?

I saw $2200 for it on a parts fiche site, and it doesn’t look like anyone has one either. Definitely worth protecting. I remember my Honda Accord had $7k headlights in it. Ridiculous

Drove to the middle of that God forsaken state up north last night to pick up a new steed for the stable. 2007 Ninja EX650R this thing is gem. Only 4000 miles and all original right down the tires.

Picked it up for my son that just got his motocycle endorsement via taking the BRC class. Got it for a song hence why I drove so far to get it. Spent the day going through it and removing a lowering kit they had on it. Only thing left is some fresh rubber but we'll roll the old ones for now.

My plan is to leave my work phone and laptop under a rock in the backyard and see how many sets of tires I can burn through in two weeks. 

[Tonik]

Terrible plan. Can't imagine why anyone would go down there.
