Default Gotta get some seat time soon!

I have been off the bike for a while but should be back in the saddle again soon. I have been going nuts with out it. I have pretty much given up the daily commuting after being hit twice in the last year. It is just too freaking dangerous here in L. A. for 100 mile a day commute.

Any way signed up for a technical riding class for October 7th and will hopefully get in a track day before December.

I have the bodywork for the Ninja track bike about ready for paint and I am tiring to find someone to paint it next week.

Well to day a started up the bikes to let them run for awhile, I do this like every few days because they are just sitting in the garage , and after warming up the ninja I took here out with just the solo tail on and terrorized the neighborhood. Remember it’s race bike with a full Muzzy race exhaust, loud as hell, and with only the rear body work looks like a street fighter.

This freaking bike hauls some ***, I can’t wait to try it on the track and run her full open. I still did about 10 laps around the hood here until some neighbors started looking kinda pissy. I was getting her to about 8k in second gear even scraped my toe around a corner that I left sticking out off the peg. Ha.

Just glad to be feeling better and know I got some fun-ridding coming up soon. The bike is definitely my drug of choice and I need a hit!

Ride safe bros and sis’s.

hey bro. glad to hear you'll be back on the saddle again. i know it's been awhile. i've gone through that L.A. traffic on a bike. and man it's freaken scary. i was there just for the weekend... the traffic in that area it a whole lot different then here. at least the majority of people in my area still use their turn signal. so bro once you get that ZX7 all dressed up send some pics. have fun out there bro.

It can only be fun. Hopefully will make up to Hwy 243 next Sunday morning and run the R1 for about 100 miles. It's some pretty good mountain twisies as I have heard.

That is awesome notstock! Glad to hear that you got a chance to terrorize the neighbourhood!!! You'll have to post some pics when you get that bike done!!! What do they teach you at a technical riding class?

Have fun!

Baaaahhaaaaaaa new rule absolutely no tucking until above 65 mph. Just say no to the slow tuck



Bluebird:
They help you learn how to enter and exit turns as fast as possible. It is amazing how many things you have to do just before you pin her over and enter a turn. The smother you can do it the faster and more stable you can be through the turn until its time to be back on the gas and start setting up for the next corner. Fun fun fun fun!
