when i ride with the sport bike guys, they obviously have a fast flat out speed, but i can walk away from them in the twisties due to the torque/power curve. less shifting and grunt makes a huge difference.

I love the fact that this is the baby Duc and she still wants to come up in 3rd with my big ass. AAAAAANNNNNNDDDD, no japcrap has the sound. The sound of an angry italian V Twin is hard to match. Hey hoe much oil do I need for a change?

morning, jeff.

well, i got three runs in at brighton. i have a rule: i snowboard until i feel fatigued or when i cannot feel my feet, whichever comes first. three runs and i couldn't feel my feet. there were little crystals precipitating, no clouds, no snow, just these tiny little crystals. it was damn cold. then the wind started.

Hello gentlemen.

I'm trying to check in here every now and then, but the thread pages move so fast I never get to really catch up.

Hope everyone is well.

Sid, did you ever get any further on the 924S?

Bahahahah!!!

When did you take up comedy Mike?

I'm trying to get rolling again after this current cold spell breaks, way too cold to be in the garage right now. I haven't been home since may though, so before now I haven't been able to work on it as I've been gone.

Just keep thinking- it's actually less work than it looks.

Once you get into a groove, as long as you have the parts it will go together smooth.

Ya if I can it some momentum it won't be terrible. Just the matter of getting rolling on while juggling 25-30 hrs of work and 12 hrs of class....

Evening Y'all, I am waiting for the selfish people to finally drag their asses here so we can unload the truck in the rain, and looking at the time frame it looks like I am going to get only a few hours of sleep tonight. We also fired the other inspector today so that means I am going to be slammed at work. Gee I am happy.
Great lookin' bike Joe
