Title: She still whispers: "Ride me, please" Post by: canoncrazy on August 09, 2010, 03:32:06 PM Though 3/4 of her rear rubber was unevenly worn by the prior owner, no offense Morgan, Slingshot still calls to me each time I am downstairs or near the garage. It seems like I have all but begged on this dmf.org to have some company, making it 10 months since I have owned and ridden 1200 more miles on the still virgin body of my beautiful 1098 alone. I am having Motocorsa apply some new shoes to the hot pregnant dog in my garage, then riding her well into the fall. Anyone up to provide a throaty harmonic support along narrow canyon roads, please keep in touch. I will be celebrating my short summer, not free of weird work hours but indeed less reading and books dangling, starting on Aug 16.
Look forward to the five weeks (hopefully 1000 miles, avg 80 mph). Chris Title: Re: She still whispers: "Ride me, please" Post by: MendoDave on August 14, 2010, 06:17:24 PM Well If you are planning on coming down here, then yea.
Title: Re: She still whispers: "Ride me, please" Post by: canoncrazy on August 18, 2010, 08:13:03 PM Q2 tires on and ready. a lil harder and lil more slippery. im ok with that. kinda like the squirreling as it bucks and rejects a reduction in speed prior to a hard right. motorcorsa said to pretty much go balls out when i picked her up saturday afternoon. thought that was odd but not like i was going to argue, it was in the mid-90's. i was only slightly cautious of the new compound and though the break-in period was immediately and completely ignored, i experienced very lil loss of grip around the corners and noticed the harder compound seemed a bit faster. i will have to test them some more this next sunday/monday. if anyone is free monday, would like to go for a nice long ride.
