I got the old engine out over the weekend. I'll be ordering a replacement sometime today (wanted to talk to the local shop about receiving for me since UPS/Fedex are really weird in this town). I figure I'll take some time to do more de-tabbing while the motor's out, maybe lose another half pound or so. Also thinking about peeling back the wiring loom and getting all the wire for the street stuff tucked up under the tank. I won't make the next round in terms of time or money, so I'm going to volunteer for the weekend and hope for some good crash truck karma. I'll be back for August, though.
Behold, the Ninja 000!
And a nice action shot from the last round. Apexing Chicane A at PIR like I'm an expert or something. (pc Bob Edwards)
