rofl nah not that bad.. it caught the side of my helmet. I actually thought someone threw a rock at first since there was some force behind the impact, but I didn't see anyone in the mirrors.

I finally got to ride last night for the first time since July 15th of last year... gotta say it felt a little weird, but totally awesome!

I aminlove with thisbuell. wish it had the hp of the 1125 or rc but the sound is amazing?

The nightster is GTG

The ultra
-make a new exhaust bracket for the cross over pipe
-finish installing the rest of the exhaust & heat shields
- pull fairing and wire up heated grips
- re-install the fairing with the new windshield

I also need to put the garage into summer mode and kick the wife's car out.

Rode the KLR in the AM and the CBR in the PM.

KLR feels different with new tires, tires that are not flat in the center. The bike now feels tippy and a little easier to throw into corners.

The CBR needs a new battery? Again? Damnit. I put one in last year. I rode it maybe a dozen times this winter, went through 3 tanks of gas, but the voltmeter was showing 11.9v this afternoon. It stays on the charger when not in use so I'm a little pissed. This is the 4th year I've had the bike, and the 3rd battery I have put in it in the spring. Hmmmm.....

Stop being Jewish and buy a decent battery

Problems with the voltage regulator?

No i dpointy think so, I started it and let it run for 20 mins in the garage last month and didn't actually use the bike, i think that killed the battery

Well heres to hoping I get that far by seasons end. I did put the saddleman seat on and will probably change the oil either thurs or friday and get it out for a sunday ride for a few hrs.

Found the manual, so I should be good.
Now just wait for the shims to show up and a free weekend... probably 2 weeks away yet.

I would like to wear out the Angels that are on there (hope they last 8k, I have 1k on them) and get another set broke in.
