Yesterday I learned that even people who you knew really took care of their shit can sometimes let things go.

was prepping the bike for this weekend and out of curiosity looked at the front sprocket and was surprised what I found.

I’ve had the bike about a month now and have done all my normal new to me bike stuff, oil, fluid checks, even checked the rear sprocket and chain but never thought the front would be this bad.

Right? I am just glad I saw it now before I got a DNF Sunday cause of it... I would have been pissed especially since that race is 3 hours away and a super fun one.

Yeah so that is where it seems like it was messed up. After I got the new rear on I realized how goddamn tight it was. Only 2/3 fingers could fit. Again should have checked but this is what I get for trusting someone else's work with no history on when they last adjusted stuff. For all I knew he could have installed/adjusted something and had the intention of adjusting slack later but never got to it before he died.

I havent been riding. Been too busy with house work and the firebird. Havent even ridden the razors cause the garage has been a mess with parts. But im finally making real progress on the car, we decided to add a/c and redo some other stuff so everything piled up. Redoing our backyard fence by pushing it out 25ft to the left neighbors and 50+ to the back.

And since everyone likes pictures:

Haven't been riding either. Now that we finally have good weather, I have been sick, so still no riding. have only put the initial 20 miles on the street twin the evening I brought it home 1.5 weeks ago.

First 4 pics are at Chuckwalla, last two are at Streets of Willow. Streets is a really fun track, especially on the smaller bikes, as it's pretty technical. I'll be going back in October and November if you might feel so inclined to join...they did just change ownership and spent the summer paving the tracks and adding to the facilities.

Switching between them is a huge change lol. Really have to rein in my throttle hand on the ducati, because the R3 is wide open much more often. The Ducati is surprisingly nimble though, I'd equate it to the R6.

Id love to but Streets of Willow is so far! I’m planning on doing Laguna and Thunderhill East again next month before calling it good for this season. Not sure if I’ll end up going to the track next season tbh.
