Sunday is almost my only day off too. How about a pre-planned Varsity Meet and Greet? Sometime within the next month or so.

No real riding down that way. I'd rather meet somewhere where we could go cruise some twistie roads at a "moderate" pace after we eat and chill. Say Helen, then we could hit Unicoi to 180 take that out to Blood/Wolf Pen.Quote:

Good deal. My bike should be ready so long as my rings aren't fried. Just got my bike two days ago and the guy didn't mention anything about it being low on oil. It didn't register what the oil level window was until I looked online. My CBR didn't have that window to my knowledge.Quote:

TBH - what I really want is an original Honda naked bike (hawk gt / cb-1 / Hornet 599), or a supermoto but this was a family gift/heir and having a bike to ride is better than not!

Got it with a RS-3, powder coated wheels, and a holographic looking huge windscreen.
Now it's lowered with Vortex links, windscreen is painted until I can order the one I want, and got the underside painted satin black from off-white.
Next up is a real tag mount and windscreen.
I also have a swingarm mounted tag and hate it. Gonna fabricate a mount for my tag under the tail along with new turn signals.
I hate my integrated taillight.....and now that it is broken, I have a good excuse to get a new one. :D

I tried that swingarm mounted tag bracket... Lost my tag at Deal's Gap :(Quote:

But yeah, thanks!
I LOVE mine lowered. It makes me a lot more comfortable riding it (only 5'10"). I don't ride it too hard, so I haven't noticed the slightest handling change.Quote:

Good God ya'll are a bunch of short asses! I thought I was bad at 6', all the guys I ride with are like 6' 2" or better.
