    Thanks man! It is close to race time indeed... D-5!!!! We're going on Friday so I need to crank it out... and it's coming along... I just finished the plastics, except for securing the rear section, which is easy... The side and lower plastics were quite a bitch to match up, and the fit is...

    My new track bike :D

    Well part of the reasoning to get black is that the gas tank is black... and I don't want to repaint it... maybe I should do a Ducati red or something... red & black would look good :)

    My new track bike :D

    Good question! I would love to be able to do something fancy like the gixxer track bikes below, but since it'll eventually get dropped, I don't want to spend any money on the paintjob :) My friend who owns a hotrod shop is willing to do them all for $100... 1 color only...

    Yes, it's working great! Thanks again for the link man, it saved me quite a lot of $$ :) Talking about $$, check out what I am asking for all the OEM plastics + headlight unit: Basically, I am selling the parts for 30% cheaper than the Ron Ayers price... and the plastics are all in...

    Lost a fellow rider and good friend

    Thank you all! I've been looking at the bikes a bit differently not because I plan to get rid of them, or to be extra careful riding them (that's been the case already), but because my mind's been full of motorcycle stuff for the past few weeks due to the track bike... I've been spending...

    Lost a fellow rider and good friend

    Thanks guys... John and I were dumbfounded when we heard the news... I had never had a friend die in a crash, and this just made it way too real too quickly for me... John knew him better than I did... it just plain sucks to loose such an awesome dude... he was one of these guys that instantly...

    Lost a fellow rider and good friend

    He was an awesome guy with a big heart and he was always genuinely friendly to everyone he met... he left a wife and 2 kids behind after low-siding and crashing against a guard rail on Saturday... I was shocked to hear the news... he was supposed to come with us to the track in a couple of...

    My new track bike :D

    New update after another productive weekend! Thanks Cali_Rider for all the help! We dropped the forks to replace the oil and re-packed the steering bearing (which needed it badly!)... The chain was also thoroughly cleaned (off the bike) and the master link was swapped with a new one...

    My new track bike :D

    The valve check was pretty straight forward, and made easy by the wide frame of the gixxer, which allows easy access... It was also quite helpful to have Cali_Rider there as a guide :D :rockon: (thanks John!). Here is my daughter doing my valves on the Buell :D
