I went for a 220km adventure ride today with a few mates, lots of fun and great to get into an isolated country area with no people around…
Then… when I got home at 4.30 ( dark at 5.30) I worked on the GSXR for a couple hours fitting new spark plugs and oem parts to replace modified stuff, in my quest to put it back to 100% stock, and took it out for a 40km ride around the long block, dropped into a mates place for a coffee and a chinwag, first ride I’ve had since delivery of the old girl… goes fantastic! The carb job has really set the the power to where it should be just as it was new! No joke.. this bike is FAAAAAST!!

What’s “the 18”??
And why is the tyre worn like that?
I got in a windy 148 miles today. Took on 3.799 gallons of 89 octane for $24.69 netting me just under 39 mpg. Had a number of triple digit runs but they didn’t last very long. Some go fasters came roaring up the Golden Chain hiway lead by a GSXR and a BMW S1000R. One of their wives came a few minutes later on a 390cc Duke. What a noise it made! Her husband was wearing an air bag vest. Four bicyclists stopped too, three of them on E bikes and I heard them talking about how much they cost. Over 6K! Along with pedaling they said they get about 80-100 miles on a single charge. Too much work for me and their seats are too tiny as well. My V1 saved me once and an oncoming car flashing his headlights over and over saved me as well. Both CHP cars were stationary running radar.

I rode the K model today, dressed her up in her fairings… lookin’ good babe lol!
It looks like it is in really good shape....
That was a great addition to your garage...
Now you'll have to look around for the rear seat cover.
Hey kiwi I see you got the garage lit up pretty good but you should look into some of the led lights I put in my garage and about to put in my shop real soon. I put 6 in my garage and it's like daylight in there and less electricity being used as well.
The 18 is a road in the Socal local mountains leading to Arrowhead & Big bear. I have to traverse it 22 miles a day to get to and from work. The tires are sticky but wear out on the outer edges pretty quick.

Will definitely look into it, thanks man.
My friend was just this weekend saying the same thing!
It's a 6m x 6m space and I run 4 double fitting flouros, yeah, they eat the power compared to LED's.
At 40 bucks each, $320 for 8, I'll save up for that lol.
