Inspired by a thread on another forum:

What did you do with your bike(s) today? Did you work on them, ride them, work out a plan for a ride, order a part. . . ?


I'll start:
Installed the HID Kit on the Hayabusa and fixed the coolant leak on the return hose. Seemed to be a loose hose clamp.:thumbsup:

Cleaned it up, checked the chain and air pressure in the tires, and checked the fluids before putting it back in the garage. But tomorrow I'll be hitting some major twisties. Headed to the mountains, most likely Shady Valley.

Just got the bike about a week ago :thumbsup:. Today was the first day I popped the tank and took a good look. Did the marble mod since I'd been having some backfiring. Planned on taking her out for a testride after football, but a couple of beers fell down my throat....

Sat in the driveway and admired her for a while. I have been getting some dental work done, my helmet puts a little too much pressure on the side of my mouth.

totally rock the wind... lmao the wind kicked my ass out to our destination and then on the way back fish tailed because some caged driver decided to stop. It was a great ride and can't wait for the next. O and I ordered a part when I got home. Met some new folks and had a great lunch.

Put on 100 miles on my Sporty. Took two turns that were definitely on the edges of my skill level and I DID IT!

Oh yeah...and Lurch let me take the Busa out last night for the first time! I'm sooooo hooked. I love that bike. Yay for me. :cheerleader:

I had a fun day. This guy from work has been on me about rideing a "fat girl" he rides a R6 we've been trying all summer to hook up and today we finely did. He has this awsume rode with all these twisties I won't be able to keep up on. He's all leathered up knee sliders have never touched the ground and chicken strips a mile wide. I said knowthing about any of that. So I tell him go ahead and lead and I'll try to keep up about 100 miles later when we pull over at the gas staition to get a drink he could not beleive I could keep up. We road about another 100 miles and I lead he would fall behind in the corners and play catchup in the straights "man Busawhiped I need a cruise control this winter that is on the mod list" I tried to keep it about 70mph corner or straight. when we stoped he was amazed at the fat girl. we did just over 300miles total and he has alot to learn turn out this is his first bike he's had it about a year and only rides with squids who talk alot and don't ride mutch. He didn't even know about counter steering but he does now and was riding mutch better at the end of the day. Oh ya their was one drag race and he about stained him self at how quick the fat girl left him in the dust.
