Jardine exhaust. (updated pics)

[Jake D]

I got back in town yesterday and called Destro.  He came over and helped me install the new Jardine exhaust on my Super Hawk.

It took maybe an hour.  Only ran into a couple snags.  Nothing some grease and a snapped bolt can fix. 

We then hit some twisties.

The bike sounds crazy.  I think it is loud as hell, but I'm just not used to it yet.  But is sounds amazing.  Also the bike is significantly lighter and there may be some more power there. 

I'll put up better pics tomorrow.  Here is one off my phone.

Awesome!  I'd love to hear it.  Nothing sounds cooler than a large bore V-Twin sportbike.  Mine makes little girls cry (not joking...I felt really bad).

Get those pictures up ASAP!  I freakin love your bike.

The first time I fired it up, we were still in the parking garage.  I am sure my eyes looked like  .

There really isn't a great way to describe it.  I've heard low rumble used to describe the GS/Wileyco combination, so that wouldn't really describe how this sounds.  It sounds like a smooth running Harley at idle but really wails like no Harley I've ever heard.  Espectially at like 10,000 rpm. 

[Turd Ferguson]

Awesome, I know what you mean.

My Monster has one of the deepest grumbles I've ever heard.  Its not Harley-ish (thank God) but sounds more to me like a late 60's muscle car with a big block at idle.

When are we going to get out and ride?  I want to check out your new bike.  There is only a short season left.  We need to make the most of it.

On a side note, there is a guy that parks by me with a brand new GSXR 600.  I showed it to Destro for the first time yesterday.   

He said, "You should take it for a ride!  The key is still in the seat lock!"

Sure enough, they guy had left the key in it.  I couldn't reach his cell phone, so I just left it there. 
Hope he finds it!

So, hey, Kansas people. I'm thinking about coming and harassing Turd for a while over Spring Break, mid March area. Jake D, Destro, y'all up for a ride? Turd, don't you dare do anything during that week because I'll totaly need a place to crash.

[Turd Ferguson]

It all depends on my job.  What week is your spring break?  My work is usually starting to get crazy around that time of year, so let me know which week we're talking about here.

Hey Jake D, didn't you say the guy with the Gixxer is a new rider?  He sounds...brain dead.  I would have hopped on the bike and given it a go!  Where in KC do you and Destro live?

-Turd.

[Jake D]

I'm down for sure even thought Destro and I live in Missouri!    

I have been going snowboarding in March for the last few years, but there is a decent chance I'll be around.  I am not sure how good the riding will be at that time.  Usually by April we have Spring Time up and running.  We run our winters a bit long these days.   There may be some pretty nasty sand on the roads still, and cold weather.

Howsabout, March 10-18? Sometime in there?

[Jake D]

I basically live in the River Market, but on the downtown side of the loop.  They call it the Garment District.
Shayne lives north of the river, but not far, in North Kansas City.  

[Jake D]

Those dates look fine to me.  We'll have to get pretty lucky with a combination of good weather, clean roads, and now snowboarding.

I just might. Assuming turd has a sofa I can crash on. And by sofa, I mean floor or any other flat surface. And by crash, I mean sleep. No more crashing from me.

[Turd Ferguson]

The Turdster has plenty of room for all!  Actually, I live in one of the tiniest damn Euro-style apartments I could find.  I've got friends all over this town with room for people to stay, so COME TO MANHATTAN, KANSAS!  Where the cowboy boots are a-plenty and the people are biggoted as hell!

Damnit, my breakfast is all over my monitor now.

(Yeah I know it's 2:30 in the afternoon, don't judge me. It's my Saturday.)

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Well.. evidently, f%$king Georgia Tech is f%$king me over, same as last year. My spring break is the 19-23, the week AFTER pretty much everyone else. f%$king Tech!

[Turd Ferguson]

My spring break is the same as yours, 19th-23rd.  Alpha...I'll be STUPID ASS busy during your spring break if it is the week before mine.  You can come if you don't mind hanging out for a half hour every night.

Sorry bro!

-Turd.
