Yeah. Yellow was to bright for me to be speeding

 

I don’t believe i’d seen one in that color. I definitely like it but i can agree on that front as well lol

 

Yeah just imagine all that black being carbon. It was a really good look! And if I ever need a change from the popo I can just revert it back to yellow like nothing happened haha

 

Oh my.

 

Signed up for supermoto school in May! Despite many many canyon miles, it'll be my first time on a track.

 

which school?

should be fun, riding on the track is a blast. it makes street riding a little less fun for me, lol

 

Socal Supermoto.

Yeah that's what I hear from people about going back to street riding.

 

i thought thats where youd go

do you ride with BASM at all? i got hooked then went to buy a race bike, lol

 

Nope, just solo riding. I moved here about a year ago and just bought a bike (701 sm) a couple weeks ago - after being off of sportbikes for ~12 years. So I've just been hitting a couple canyons near my house trying to get used to riding again.

 

ah yeah thats right a couple pages back. bit of a pig to toss around but the power out of corner will be fun.

cant wait for race season to start back up here

 

Yeah I’m a little worried after riding their drz400’s I’m going to hate mine. It’s not much lighter than my old r6.

 

~60lbs lighter than a stock r6. quite a bit of a noticeable difference.

the drz weighs the about the same as your 701 so there isnt going to be anything impressive there and less power.

 

Oh that’s good to know then! I was thinking they were more dirt bike weight. He did say I have to start on their bikes and then later in the day I can switch to mine if I want.

It’s working out perfectly. We are going on vacation about miles from there and it ends the Friday before the class. So I’m going to extend it one day. Only “bad” thing is I’ll be riding my bike from San Jose to LA area. Yep don’t have a suitcase big enough for my gear.


I was also debating on lightening mine up a bit. Really just a different battery. Not too much work for the pounds I can save.

 

i wish. if that was the case i never would have sold mine.

besides watching out for the typical drivers that shouldnt be a bad ride. ive put about 6hrs of seat time in a day on my 690 (with knobs...)

 

I'm kicking myself in the ass right now. Decided the WRF may not have been the most practical purchase. Yamaha agreed to sell my WR, take their cut for the TW, give me the difference once sold, and let me roll out of there with it. I had been trying to make some deals on a couple of DRZs, but no luck. The TW will do fine for our max 35mph speed limit. I'm gonna miss the balls of the WR.

 

went from a wrf to a tw? would have kept the wr all day

 

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ?!!!!!

 

Fucking seriously
