Very interested in your experience with NT. The PDX 'Busa is showing all of her years.

Unlike myself, who ages like, well, Boones Farm...

Definitely that time of year. Mine is apart, with motor ready to drop out for refresh.

Growing up in Michigan, the scooters all went to the bike-barn for a nap over the winter. My buddy swore that I should put sheet-metal screws into each knobby on my dirt bike and I could ride year 'round. Never tried it.

We had a vintage snowmobile (8 horsepower of fury). A Honda "Big Red" ATV (amazing I am alive). And my '80 YZ125. One quiet January, I did take the YZ out in the snow (sans sheet metal screws). It ended poorly.

But we rallied by racing our 20" Huffy BMX bikes into the large snow bank dad had plowed. The trick was to time the leap upward from the pedals at exactly the point of impact, thus burying said department-store bike into the snow bank and flying up and over, landing on your back in the snow on the opposite side. What could possibily go wrong..?

Did I mention the time I slid my go-kart sideways on the gravel (slip), onto the dry concrete driveway (grip) which had the effect of putting the beast up on two wheels, which (in 'Busa man fashion) I drove on for a bit, then dropped her down on all fours?

At 58 years, I still have the "muscle memory" to do a 180* "bunny hop" on my BMX bike (yes, a Huffy). Much to the amusement of the neighhood kiddos.

So glad I'm mature now...

finished about 10 days ago: oil, oil & air filter, coolant, fairings back on after frame dust removal. New grip covers. Injector cleaner, wash, polish, wax and ceramic coating. Now that we’re averaging 20c and slowly increasing, ride time ..

When is the Fairing kit going to be in, so i can work on it?

What does ceramic coating do?

What does ceramic coating do?

Hi. Soome say it is just another way to make your wallet a little thiner.

Came Friday. Are you sure you want to tackle this ? Remember clutch dump and charge tube. I don’t mind finding a body shop.

One piece at a time. It's a project to swap fairings.
