nice lid.  .  .

i don't mean to reveal your secret,
but it's actually a real bargain to get that lid off of ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6749&item=7938743105&rd=1

this guy seems to carry all sizes and pretty fair quanitity
and it cost less than $100 USD

thinking about getting it for my girlfriend (yah right, i'll give her my old one and buy this one for me!)

Good to see you're still doing well and riding

Those clipons look like quite a reach though.  I bet that riding position makes it rough for the boys on bumpy roads :o

I love my clip ons....     :thumb:     Theyre a pain in the ass to install though !

As far as the riding position goes, I'm 6'2 so the reach isn't bad at all.  When I run corner, I try to shift my weight towards the rear.  Normal riding, is comfortable enough.

#1: nice pics!  :thumb:

#2: screw the pants & boots, where are the bloody mirrors?  :?

#3: when cornering, it is better to weight the front/center of the bike, not the rear, so bend those elbows and hump the tank.  :mrgreen:

Dig the broken levers.

This is the story on the levers.  One lever was bent from the previous owner dropping the bike.  When I tried to bent it back, it broke.  I sanded it smooth and decided I liked the looks so did the same with the other one

That's tape that holds on wheel balancing weights.

Actually I was considering painting half the rim Yellow, and the other black.  I figured I'd put tape on it to see what it would look like.  It took me like 5 minutes just to get the much (little) on there.
I said fuuck it !!!    But forgot to take it off    :lol:

How long have you had it on there? It might be sun-baked on!

But, you should be able to get it off with some Wd40.

You really need to bend your elbows and shift your weight forward....

I have seen to many guys in your exact riding position biff it, and biff it hard without knowing why.

Drop your inside elbow and relax some on the grips.

I dont mean to sound like a duck, but these are the observations I have made in my 20k of riding experience. On and off the track.


Nice looking bike by the way.


Ride safe!!
