Thanks! Left to right: 2009 Ducati M1100 / 2017 Yamaha FZ-09 / 2013 Triumph Thruxton / 2016 CB500F / 2008 Suzuki RM-Z250 / 2002 Yamaha Grizzly 660

 

Solid progress last night. All the wiring and hosing is routed back to it's original positions, motor is fully mounted (the previous owner was missing 4 of the 8 motor mount bolts), adjusted the throttle, and got the airbox in.

Chain and sprockets are on the way, need to order new fairings, swap in the better headlight, bleed the handbrake, get the exhaust back on, sand and paint the tank, see why the right turn signal isn't working, and re-install the cage. Goal is to be back on the road by May.

 

Solid!

At the mx track today, its been a while so gotta get my feet back under myself

 

Just in case anyone is interested. Selling my 10" handlebars. @GHOST SHIP

Went for a little ride yesterday morning, one of the guys had a sweet Thruxton R

 

As I was driving yesterday, saw a FZ10 in a standing wheelie on the highway.

 

I bet the front wheel comes up easy on that thing

 

Went for a ride on Saturday, didn't grab any pics but man was it nice. No liner in my jacket, and it was the first time wearing contacts while riding. Life-changing not having to deal with fogged up glasses anytime I'm stopped.

 

i was a bitch at the track

been way too long since ive gotten on dirt and just taking longer to get back into the groove of it. brought along my camera and had some fun though

me being a bitch:

That's how it goes with me lately. Feels like a got a shitload of air, check the footage, more like 2 feet.

 

Haha i know that feeling. I knew i wasnt getting far on this though. I should have been clearing everything, taking last year off took its toll.

 

Anyone heard of Motomember as a dealership? Experience?

 

Still a bit of snow here in CO, but good to get the cycle out!

 

I don’t fly well. You’re getting more airtime than i’ll likely ever have...

 

I used to think living in colorado would be cool, but then i realized how much snow would always be there. Although i do love snowboarding i think its a hobby id rather travel to.

Its so fun once you start doing it

 

July and August are typically snow free.

 

Yeah no thanks on that

 

I've found that the older I get the less I like winter but the summers are hard to beat even though they're short.
