Finished up for the year and now to pass the time I'm looking at modding stuff. This is as she sits now:




Other then stripping the bike down to clean, service, finish safety wiring I plan to do:

Yoyodyne Slipper


woodcraft clipons


crg black clutch lever


possibly dymag pro aluminum rims 7 spoke


considering HRC harness and ignition harness (renders bike completely useless for street)

trying to locate yoshimura headers for full system

and maybe if I'm feeling really baller

lightech remote adjuster

 

I'm only going to fix whats needed to keep my SV running and do some more suspension tweaking. Very little $$ spending on the bike, and instead do this in the spring:

If that wasn't all the way on the west coast.....


I'm still looking to do cornerspeed at VIR maybe though I hear if you've ridden for a few years already it's kinda eh.

 

i'm hurriedly fixing my hawk so i can sell it and try to pick up a deal on someone else's track bike

 

I'm going to mount a factory naked fairing when it comes in next week and then I've got to start collecting all the parts necessary to throw some handlebars on my SV.
It's gonna be rough not having a garage though.

 

05 ZX6R
Scorpion S/O (in the mail)
Scotts Damper from F4i (parts in hand)

01 F4i
Dirt Bike Bar Conversion (parts in hand)

Than put it way since I'll be deploying Jan-Sept 09 to Iraq again. Well miss out 90% of riding season next year. Missed 100% in 07. Missed 80% in 06.

 

but you fly an F-16 so it ain't all bad. i worked on your MMC display so if it craps out i apologize.

i will:

- change my shagged front tire
- radiator fluid flush and refill
- bleed brakes
- continue riding all winter

Plane tickets are ~$300 to miller, and that place is absolutely fantastic.

you use their bikes I guess then? I didn't read it but assumed you used your own.

 

Sorry guys, but i'm building a 2005 GSX-R600 into a stunt bike this winter. Pics and updates to come . as for my daily rider, i'll probably just throw a slip-on on it and call it a day.

 

Tempted to buy some heated grips to make winter easier.

 

^^ I agree... Socal here, and we'll ride all year long, but heated grips will sure be comforting..

How is the weather like in California during Winter?

Slightly cooler than the summer but still in the 60's-70's. It does rain every so often. We have a year round riding season.

Lose 25 pounds and get more physically fit. Cardio, weights, lots of swimming in heated pools.

Best mod, methinks.

 

our seasons here in socal are, hot, and hotter.

 

im looking around for an R6

if i get one, im gonna get a new 1 piece or new leather pants

and
gilles rearsets
crg levers
stomp grips
fe
exhaust and pc3
puig


all that good stuff

suspension tune will be one of the first things though along with ss lines

it all depends on when i get my insurance check and how much it is for

Looks like I'm moving to California after graduation!

How is the living expense down there?

For a typical college student...

 

that's why I love living in California and better yet southern California where just because it's winter don't really mean ****. Sure maybe a rainy day or two but I can ride on those warmer winter days still.

yeah I see that. I'm secretly searching for a used 600cc trackbike at the same time. Doing a school on something other then my own bike would just make me want a 600 more. Would take a little to get up to speed and comfortable on it too.

It's worth noting that there are parts of California that see snow all the time, but in So Cal and the bay it doesn't really ever get too cold. The lowest lows we see in Sacramento are around 30.

 

08 RR:

-Black Pazzo's
-Solo Seat Cowl
-GI Pro Indicator

Other than that Im going to bust my *** and save for track days/FAST riding school next year
