Xsr900Rider Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Road to work, hoping to stay dry this afternoon. Probably should invest in a waterproof laptop case before my work laptop gets soaked one day. I also messed with my suspension a little bit more the yesterday and I think it is finally dialed in just how I like. Now need to write the settings down so I have them if I ever make a change I don't like. @JustinNck1 those wings look tasty, now I'm hungry for hot wings at 9am. If any of you guys are up in Marysville ever look up Benny's pizza they have smoked wings and a sauce called Neal's O'Flame that is good and hot. They have a big open patio/bar area and have bands playing on weekends in the summer. Edited July 11, 2017 by Xsr900Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Swapped the Q3s out for the Pilot Roads and with that the bike is now back to street form for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 Pauly swung by and helped me setup my suspension. It was like two retarded squirrels trying to build a space shuttle, but we got it. My rear sag was only 6mm. That explains the ass beating anytime the road got rough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Drove to title place. Didn't get title. Drove like a madman to Euclid to the original notary so he could finish filling it out. Drove like a madman to title place. Got title. Drove like a madman to get plates. Made it with 15 minutes to spare. Changed oil, flushed coolant and brake fluids. Got the damn sticker off the gas tank. Test ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Removed my helmet liners, washed them. Removed jacket armor, washed the jacket. Lubed up the mechanism on the Shoei. Now off to wash the bike and assess my tire situation and predict how many sets of tires I'm gonna need to get through the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
