Title: Money + Me = No Money!
Post by: Turkina on October 01, 2003, 04:18:34 PM
Oh, just kidding... but lately I have been on a stupidly big shopping spree for my bike!  Good thing my 'want' list is down to only a couple items now... repaint, new tires, and maybe a gel seat :)
Over the past couple of weeks...
Teknic Lightning Jacket (fits great other than a little baggy in sleeves, thanks Pablo for pointing it out)
JR Ballistic and Phoenix pants
Violator Pro gloves (yes, I am really going for the protection bit here)
Givi Fairing, Kat grips, Kat 600 shock, case guards, JeffD's LED tail, SV chain guard, replacement engine cover

Damn, once I get the whole bit done over the winter, what am I going to do!   :o  I'll be all tinkered out!

Feared... that is quite a bit of money.  Maybe I should hide the rest of my credit cards  :lol:

i got a Givi A755 fairing from azmotorsports.  It looks really nice but it is a little small for someone like me... I have to adjust the tilt of the screen cause the wind is catching me right in the helmet while riding normally, making all sorts of wind noises.

oops... thanks Rashad for reminding me (especially about the progressive springs... going to do all the suspension at once in the winter)

If you get bored you could always dismantle your engine and polish the insides of the cases...
:P

Well, that would be shiny... but I guarantee after I have reassembled the engine, i'd be holding a piston in my hand, wondering why I have so many parts left over!  :lol:

Reassembling is no fun when you haven't a clue as to how to go about doing it!
