What did you do to your bike today?

[ej'sfz]

Installed new chain and sprockets today... jt sprockets and an rk x-ring chain. Did an oil change and went from amsoil to red line because they ran out of 10/40 and actually the motor is a bit quieter and pretty smooth.
But holy crap that chain lube is hard to get off after 17k in all those damn crevices! !

Bout to ride over to the shop, steal a break lever of my yzf, and somehow get it to fit a 636 lol

My buddy went for his first ride in the hillcountry yesterday and ended up trying to ride home at night. He saw a deer in mid corner and tapped the front brakes.... So i've been zip tying fairings back together for the last two days.

Just got home from boys weekend away for a "bucks" show.
Was able to borrow a YZ450 & WR450 to ride some trails and beach flats.

Really my first time riding sand & single track on anything larger than 250. I was bit daunted at first so I took easy.
But it was hellish fun pushing the bike down (without leaning) & drifting out of turns.
Mm me thinks a dirtie may be on the horizon

I rode the dragon today!!! And survived! Went slow, was kinda scared. At that speed it wasn't so bad, and fortunately due to the weather there were very few people out there, so I wasn't in the way. Trying to go out there again Tue or Wed, maybe I won't be so terrified the next time.

And also did some of the Cherohala skyway. Which was a great stretch of road, except we hit some weather, and basically rode inside a cloud for a while. It's tough to see in there... Coming down back out of the cloud was good, but then the road was wet with leaves, and slippery...

All in all so far a very successful vacation. We have done two on-road repairs on my husband's FJR, and none on my FZ6R!

Awesome area to ride!! I was down there on Labour Day weekend. My cousin is down there right now. Keep it centre or right of centre on the Dragon to avoid the 'racer boys' crossing the yellow, and use the pull offs if someone shows up in your mirrors. Hwy 73 and 441 into Cherokee N.C. is a great ride also. You could loop back up 28 to the Dragon. Have a great and safe trip!!

That's the loop we're doing today!

Installed a double bubble race screen and screwed up a well nut
-so I ordered some more

Today I repacked my muffler.

FYI: Anyone with the TBR exhaust, if you buy the kit from them, it includes the proper drill bit for the rivets, new rivets and enough packing material to do it 3 times.

That's a great run! I was legendary on that road (in my own mind, lol!) I screwed it up from start to finish. Twice.

Now I'm looking at the Back of the Dragon. Soon. Soon...

Installed a new set of Metzler Sportec M5's. This is my second set of these tires because I absolutely loved the first set. I got about 15,000 kms out of them.

We are back from our super awesome and awesomely super (insert your own super awesome adjectives here) motorcycle trip of awesomeness!

..... And now Gracie is sitting in the garage waiting for a bath, extra good chain cleaning and an oil change....

But the vacation was, well, extra super awesome!!

Beautiful day in Eastern Ontario

It was a beautiful day here in Eastern Ontario. Sun shining with the wind blowing leaves across the roads. Only a handful of rides left before cold sets in for good.

Went for a spectacular ride in ideal conditions. Only a few hundred klicks (miles) to go and then time to drain the break-in oil and replace with dino and filter for winter hibernation in her garage stall. It's going to be a long wait 'til spring.

Today I am putting on a Puig 5548W Clear Touring Screen. I am in Pittsburgh and ride all winter.

Well, my Uncle wanted me to pick up some stuff he bought in Charlotte. No prob. I Googled the route, choosing the backroads and off I went. A three to four hour ride, round trip.

Missing road signs. Roads actually moved! That four hour ride turned into nearly eight hours in the saddle.

Getting lost on those back roads didn't suck so much. Some of them were so back country, that not only were they twisties, the trees grew together over the road.

Riding through that mottled twilight, twisting and turning all the way was pure joy.

However, turn after turn and no road signs. No clue where I was. I got lost a lot. I was on a timeline. The frustration distracted from the joy.

A VERY long story short, I found the guy's house and asked directions to the highway, so I could get home quickly. Yeah, the directions didn't pan out.

Lost in Charlotte, NC, during rush hour. Rush hour in Charlotte is not an hour. It's more like four of them. I did eventually get home. Of course I didn't have cold weather gear with me, since I was supposed to be home before dark.

That again is another story. BUT I got to go riding and get lost in some awesome backroads! WooHoo! What a glorious day it was!!!

Changed my fork oil to 15w bel ray. Way stiffer suspension. Feels awesome.just need to change my rear shock meow. Also put my clip ons below the top triple plate. Feels good too, but need to adjust the throttle and clutch cables because they are too tight

 

[Sandro]

cleaned, polished, and possibly covered for the winter...:'(

 

[nismos14]

Got new oem clutch kit, and new chain and sprockets coming, woo hoo.

Hit my rev limiter today for the very first time. On first gear. Should have shifted a second earlier, but it was still fun...

My husband is calling me a hooligan...
