I kinda like the frame and assorted hardware hangin' out, kinda '60s style, before design and plastic panels started making it fashionable to cover up a motorcycles' working components.
It's not how fast you go, rather "how" you go fast!

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Dam, those rims are CLEAN!

If you don't use the brakes......you don't produce brake dust. :icon_lol:
If you don't lube the chain.......you don't throw lubricant :icon_mrgreen:

so... you have a garage queen?   :laugh:

On rainy days, or when I get home from work at 10:30 PM and I'm wound too tight to sleep, or I have a spare 30 minutes to kill and there isn't enough time to take a decent ride.........I rub on the bike, check tire pressures, or lube the chain, or check bolts for tightness, inspect the battery, etc. etc.

When you work 3-4 nights/week, 50-60 hours/week, sometimes the only bike time is "garage " time. It does lend itself to keeping it clean, however.

That's how mine looks.. not by choice, though.. haven't had the $$ to get the subframe straightened and get the new plastics put on yet.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.
