Gave him a break and rode my bicycle to the BART station and spent some time in SF.

I did however pick up some airbrush paints to tool around with before I actually paint 'im.

Rode it for about an hour. You know, just to help keep the carbs cleaned out. ;-)

Also, I remembered how much I need to work on keeping an "Oh ****" plan in mind and practice Emergency Braking some more.

Finally, got super excited for Spring when I ride more everyday to work on the above!

Fitted the flush mount indicators from the2wheels, need to test them out but they look awesome! Still waiting on some resistors.

Ordered an R&G racing tail tidy.


Ordered the2wheels adjustable levers, in black with green adjusters, shorty of course.

Ordered a new gear lever pedal.

Debating whether or not to get new fairings or stick with my DIY painted ones.

I left it at home because it was full enough of gas I knew it would last me a few days. I had to go fill the car up because it's a ****ing gas hog. Got tboned and totaled. Surely would have died on my bike from this jackass driver. My car held up surprisingly well though. I'm perfectly fine.

But yeah. I would have gone to fill my bike up if it had lower MPG. Such a nice day today too.

OO the new one? Saw one the other day while riding. Such a pretty car! I like the fact that we're starting to get more European designed Ford models here. The Fiesta, Focus ST, new Fusion/Mondeo. Great looking cars!

Added some camera mounts to the front and back. Then promptly dropped her off the stand cause i forgot her kickstand was up. Which (unknown to me) bent the shifter inwards, preventing downshifting. The first traffic light was an unique experience. :/

It's 3m di-noc vinyl and I hand cut it and wrapped it myself. The little lid was easy as was the outer ring, but the center part with the key hole was a B**** and I'll probably do it over after I get some more practice on some easier parts. Concave stuff is always going to be hard to get just right but the convex stuff is a piece of cake with this stuff.

Just went out with my non-anti fog faceshield and tried everything I could to make it fog. No fogs. Win.
