Wow. That's a lot less riding time than I thought. I figured you'd be off the road for three months max. No wonder people mod their bikes so much. Shows what I know from this dry, old continent. :P

Some of the Harley die-hards will be out earlier, and later, but their pace is a bit different from mine.

I do most of my riding on the track these days anyway. That season is even shorter.

Im doing alot of street riding and while not cruiser pace through the corners, its pretty tame. Alot of riding two up too. Ung will be appalled how slow Ive become. The straights between corners may have cameras under camo, and bang, there goes your licence (and livelihood).
Track days keep me sane and dust off the skills. I plan to hit the track in March. How are your plans with the 996?

Right now it's buried in the barn behind a 4' high snow plow bank. My buddy George will be down before too long to snow blow it away with his tractor and I'll get in touch with the vet to get it to him.

I've lined up a set of SPS cams for it...just what I need after a 3 year layoff...more power. :P

Should be pretty good with the cams and a 45/50 mm system.

The vet can tweak the FIM single injector mod chip for me so it should run strong.

Being a track only bike there's always the possibility of going back to the dual injector set up too.

Nice thing is he has a dyno now. Eliminates most of the tuning guesswork. ;)

Hey Mike. Now all we need is for Tini to show up!

Work today, but not teaching. I have to get ready for a class tomorrow.

Good on ya Carlos. Enjoy the tlc.


A dyno  beats guessing. I guess the cams will take from <5 and give to >5.

Lethe. Shit figuratively or literally?
