A few more times, you'll be able to do it in 10 minutes.

iceknyght · May 22nd, 2012, 09:39 AM

I ran out of gas for the first time on the way to work today... On the freeway...

Luckily, I was close to an exit, bad news is I had to walk it up over an overpass to get to the gas station on the other side...

Reyno2ac · May 23rd, 2012, 06:50 AM

I installed my Zero Gravity Double Bubble!

rjones91 · May 23rd, 2012, 11:51 AM

I rode it to work today. It now looks like rain but I hope it doesn't. If so, my first ride in rain/after rain

...

Red2Black · May 23rd, 2012, 03:29 PM

installed my dan moto gp slip on. a few snags with the bracket bolt not fitting and the clamp they sent with it, snaped the bolt in it

. But a quick run to home depot and problem solved

khaoz069 · May 24th, 2012, 09:08 AM

Changed the oil filter & oil :B quite a gd achievement as I dun understand any thing in bikes

coolbreeze · May 24th, 2012, 09:42 AM

Well that sucks! What's the plan with your current bike. Feel free to crate it and ship it to me.

coolbreeze · May 24th, 2012, 10:11 AM

Well, i'm hoping to sell the whole bike. i don't have the time, patience, or storage space to part it out. From what the mechanic said, someone who knows how to work on bikes can do everything for about $300.

Also, since FL is below GA, it's all downhill, so i can probably just coast all the way to jacksonville.

Sweet! When can I expect you?

coolbreeze · May 24th, 2012, 11:14 AM

well, i gotta pick it up first. i figure that it will take the a while, being that i'm coasting.

cuong-nutz · May 25th, 2012, 10:36 PM

My ZG Sport Touring windscreen arrived today. I also placed an order for a new rear tire at Motorcycle Superstore. I ordered the new Bridgestone S20. Funny how the tread pattern looks like the Michelins.

NJ Ninjette · May 26th, 2012, 12:56 PM

Took it for a nice 3 hour ride

Countersteer · May 26th, 2012, 04:47 PM

...rolled it into the dining room and removed rear wheel and all the body work on the subframe. I am preparing to install a GSXR rear shock, CustomLED taillight, Racetech springs, K&N pod filter and jet kit.

silverhana · May 26th, 2012, 05:08 PM

rode around PCH!

what a nice day!! hope it stays this nice tomorrow and monday

Asspire · May 27th, 2012, 06:31 PM

installed diablo rosso 2's, service brakes, and modified the kleen air system. now I can set the world on fire.

Link to original page on YouTube.

Countersteer · May 28th, 2012, 06:22 PM

Re-installed carbs after installing sixsigma jet kit and removing the vacuum switch valve and all it's associated hose'ery!

Onto the GSXR rear shock install...

Stingray1000 · May 28th, 2012, 06:26 PM

I added some Seafoam (because of the problems I mentioned on another thread which corrected themselves somehow) and FLEW to work! There si little to no wind and traffic was light because of the holiday WOOOOOOOOOOOO Was a B E A Utiful thing!

Countersteer · May 29th, 2012, 04:35 PM

Today I installed an '07 GSXR750 rear shock...

A big thank you to Rexbo for his info on doing this. Link here:

Got it back from the shop for the 600 mile maintenance, went on a pretty short ride since it's supposed to pour rain here tonight.

Stingray1000 · May 30th, 2012, 03:00 PM

I LEFT HER AT HOME BECAUSE IT SAID IT WAS SUPPOSED TO RAIN but now it's sunny

NJ Ninjette · May 30th, 2012, 04:15 PM

Rode it into work today like I stole it. The weather was perfect, great fun...

xSean13 · May 30th, 2012, 04:28 PM

Removed the snorkel.
Added seafoam.
Bought some Dupont chainsaver & re-lubed the chain.
Road to work.

BREAK -IN- PERIOD ,,, DONE!!!!!

Oh and this was with my Wife's 2011 Ninja 250; she is 18 WEEKS (hahaha) Prego and ain't riding it right now!

1000 miles this morning !!!!! Decided to open her up on my way back home. Flat "Super Slab" real world driving conditions, got her up to 90 MPH 11000 RPMs throttle fully pined.... It was interesting -- and don't worry, the only reason I did it was because there were no cars anywhere around / fron / behind me on this section of Highway for awhile. So now that I got all that out of my system, I'll do another oil change and have some fun

until the wife takes it back hahahaha

Miles_Prower · May 31st, 2012, 01:27 PM

I rode to work for the first time!! 20 miles on backroads, 2 sweeping curves which were interesting..i was worried about them before leaving but they weren't bad at all.
Freaked out when I underestimated a different turn which was sharper than I remembered, but I didn't let off throttle or use brakes, just leaned further. I have leaned that much before but wasn't going nearly as fast so this was a bit frightening, especially with cars around me.

Now in a few minutes, I get to ride home, this time with much more traffic. Wish me a safe journey back lol!!!

Keep your eyes peeled, look twice everywhere, trust your bike and no one else, and most of all.... ENJOY THE RIDE!

Countersteer · May 31st, 2012, 01:34 PM

Today I fab'd an exhaust hanger from aluminum flat stock...

yes, that's exactly what i did! it was an awesome ride back..i even chatted with a couple on a cruiser at a light. the guy riding was like, "I LOVE that color!!!" about three or four times haha. waved to literally about 30 or 40 bikes today, it was awesome. practically none of them were wearing any gear though..yikes!

Old Lemon · May 31st, 2012, 05:58 PM

Yesterday I got a scratch remover and a nice buffing cloth and buffed most of the scratches into oblivion. Looks almost new, minus some cracks and missing chunks. Got the dirt off too, so it's all shiny again!

It's a one off piece made from aluminum flat stock available at most hardware stores. 1/8 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide. I started by drilling a hole in the flat stock the size of the passenger peg bolt and then made 2 bends to route it around the rear brake hardware, lined it up to the bolt location for the exhaust clamp and drilled the appropriate size hole. I then moved to the second piece and followed the same procedure. If the pieces were straight you could just measure, cut and drill; but the bends (required to clear hard parts) make that difficult.

The good thing is that the material is relatively cheap and so failed attempts are not that expensive. I bought a 4 foot stick, whereas each "cut" piece is about 9 inches long so it gives you lots of room for error. Hope that helps!

How did you get her to hold still?

d.c.george · June 1st, 2012, 11:38 AM

We sat there together, and looked to the sky waiting for the rains to stop.

No such luck yet,

We might just have to give up on today.

That is a cool looking exhaust hanger, and I must say I am impressed.

May I ask where you got your metal stock?

I didn't use a buffer, just a lot of elbow grease. She was on the stand and i wrapped an arm over to the other side and hung like a monkey while I pushed and buffed with my right hand. It was exhausting, and was a contortionist's worst nightmare but it was worth it in the end!
