Finish e ZX11 today is the plan . Brought some good ethanol free fuel with me .
Look what I thought was a thorn is actually a rock
Changed oil and filter in Tiger last night.
49 degrees f today, but sunny.
Put wifes mirrors off the 900 onto the 1200 . Much better as the coffin mirrors vibrate at speed but these are clear .

Awwww man.... what a pain in the ass.
Have you ordered a new ECU yet?
Obviously NZ Post are gonna pay for a new one?
Aren’t the triples a lovely bike to ride?
As you said, the motors are great, just the right amount of torque and power and handling is great too.
I have another white one here you can service too. After all, what’s one more........ Lol
I got in a short ride today cause I felt the need....the need for....SPEED! 
A buck fifty was just enough as I didn’t head over to my long straights west of the foothills where the roads are loooong empty
and straight.
Nice weather but shady corners were still wet from snow melt.

Got in 122 miles today but no pics. Only stopped once. Ever have one of those days when you’re absolutely (in the groove)? Everything feels right, the road, the bike, the weather, just a lil bit cool, and you’re absolutely in the mood! Well, today was on of those days.
It has been awhile since I’d really honked on it so I headed northwest into the flat lands west of the Park where there are several 8+ mile long uninterrupted two lane straightaways. Almost always empty too. You can find out just how fast you are willing to go out there, and for a real distance too. I didn’t get into a full tuck as I had a small tankbag on so I didn’t try to peg the speedo but I got real close. Really wakes up the senses! Stayed in the mood thru the curvy section to get back home too. Kept the revs above 6k most of the time in the lower gears and only used the brakes a couple times. Really felt the adrenaline! Was really really fun! Ever have one of those days?

63 degrees and sunny means let’s go for a ride to blow any dust off the bike. I have a thing for barns.

I don’t like loud exhausts and the “gixer” take offs with a custom midpipe offer good performance, are more quiet and saves some weight over the stock boat anchor that comes from the factory. Funny you mention FMF. That’s what I removed from mine and have hanging on the wall.

I cannot find a fmf pipe here in nz for love nor money!
I would buy that from you in a heartbeat if you’d consider selling it and boxing it up and freighting it at my expense of course, just PM me if you want to discuss this further.
Here’s hoping. . .

Yes I realize it's the DR650 Miguel has Bryan, but at this stage after looking for a year for a decent muffler and header, I'm sure I could make it work.
Even a new muffler alone will cost $750 here in NZ, and would take ages to get here from the States. The shipping costs from the US are ridiculous to say the least, and then we pay 15% tax on top so it's the best part of $1000 for a muffler!! Crazy, so I've been looking for a good used muffler or complete exhaust, with SS header pipe, for a good while now, if you or anyone here could help me find one and ship it to me I'll make it worth your while.
Desperation does strange things to a man, and also to a Kiwi.
