That blows so bad. Glad you are okay.

 

Well, at least the tires didn't burn.

Seriously, sorry for the loss. glad YOU are fine.

 

I took a mid day ride on the VFR/
I need to spray insecticide on the shop floor beams to inhibit powder post beetles.
Tim-Bor was what I was looking for.

I went to several places that "advertise" the product on the net, but got the empty eyes "never seen it here" response.

Until I mentioned "Oh well, It is a great excuse for a ride on the motorcycle". Then things got helpful and friendly. All the store clerks were happy that I was out riding.

A nice feeling!

 

Now I don’t know if I am going to replace it or what I will replace it with? I think the best thing is to just wait now until next year. Enjoy the FZ1 for now and think

oh the tires did burn. The rear one exploded and took out part of the swing arm. This was after the fire department put it out.

 

I wasn't expecting you to keep the Gixxer for long, but certainly wasn't expecting that. Fastest I've ever killed a bike was 238 miles on the odometer before a minivan killed it. Rip Gixxer

 

That's wild how much of the metal just absolutely melted.

Also, I got a S1000XR I'll give you a deal on Or an F800GS, mayhaps

 

I got a Duke 390 rear tire hugger for the RC390.



Looks much cleaner than the stock setup IMO:



Also, side profile for @50Buck

 

I am going to take a break from buying and selling bikes until next year. This is a wake up call to chill out. Sometimes you have to read the signs and this one said stop!!!

 

If you're gonna keep the headlights at least get some black tape! And don't leave it on too long or it'll be a bitch to remove

Taping lights is silly and outdated, should just allow you to pull the headlight fuse. It's such a silly practice that just won't die

 

That's actually on my list of things to do, only issue is I have to take the tank cover off to remove the fuses.

 

Taping lights is to keep the glass together. But yes lights are also distracting to others on the track

 

My partner just got a work assignment a few blocks away from home so I mentioned it close enough for her to ride the monkey to work. She stopped and thought for a second… “That would actually be pretty cool!”

 

Most headlights are plastic nowadays.

I've also seen some people on track run with lights on, which is kind of weird for sure.

 

Yes, glass, modern bikes are polycarbonate headlights, which explode the same as abs plastic of bodywork

 

Even better when you see them turn their turn signals on

 

god damn! that sucks man! glad it wasnt in your garage and you didnt come out crispy but shit that sucks!

 

Damn, a few days away and you guys start burning things down

Hopefully insurance doesn't screw you.

 

what else are we suppose to do?

 

No clue

 

I got my Carpuride mounted. I need a shorter arm and to wire it up
