Your arms look stiff.

Good pictures, though. Bike looks great!

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!)
all-black F
down and not out for good. . .

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:

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!!
