Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

True Story:  Bad Dog wont ride with me at all.  Oh, he calls...makes excuses, hems and haws around riding, he even makes ride dates he can't keep.  Asks me questions about my new ride and says, "That's freeway miles, right?"  Must have a burr in his leathers.

Congrats on your new ride!  My boss just got a new bike recently (his 2nd) so I am in big time envy mode.

Oh my, I felt like that for 5 years.  I would ride with my Ducati Buddies and  would have to literally wring out my little M600 just to keep contact.  Frankly, it is all the sweeter when you have to wait some.  When the day finally arrives, we all appreciate your happiness and fatigue smile muscle syndrome.

That's one hell of an upgrade! Congratulations!!  [bacon]  [thumbsup]

You are truly blessed to have unusually long legs for your height. I'm about the same height and weight and the complete opposite - stubby legs and a loooong torso. All that does is make for lots of tippy toe and a sore lower back  :'(

Ah, DesmoLu--don't cry :-\  Listen, after some Yoga with some Pilates, we could stretch you out and make you some long luxurious legs.  On the other hand, buy a big bike and lower the darn thing!  We are both taller than Pedrosa and out weight him (we could kick his ass). [moto]

argh, i know! isn't that so incredibly disturbing?


this girl will keep dreaming for a while. all the yoga stretches and lowering kits in the world won't give me a spare $20K - sigh!!

enjoy your awesome new toy! you've earned it after all those years red-lining your M600!!

wtf? that is some upgrade you got there.. good to know that someoene that is short like me can fit on that bike.

though it is funny that when you look at the stats of all the motogp riders they are all around or under 5'7"  except for rossi basically... go figure right?

have fun, nice bike.

MendoDave

Very nice! Did you just get the slipons, or did you go for the whole system with the ECU?  [moto]

Hey, thanks sbrguy, I appreciate you kind words.  Yeah, I am a giant among gymnists measuring 5'3" [cheeky]

MendoDave, yes I purchased Termi Slip-On's instead of the full system as I was afraid to melt my fairings.  I do believe that I will have to ceramic coat the rest of my exhaust to disipate more heat.  Maybe black would look nice??? ;D

Opps, and yes my ECU had to be changed to accomadate the Slip-On's.
