Hello everybody!
Just wanted to say that it's very cool to have found this group of people again. I bought my S2R1K late last year and used TOB quite a bit for information on mods. I travel quite a bit with my job so I can't always keep up, but needless to say I was quite shocked when I logged back into TOB earlier this week only to find it all F'ed up.
Cheers to everyone here for putting this together and making it a place I want to visit often.
So here's some basics - I'm 33, married to an awesome wife - you know the kind that lets you get
another motorcycle after your first kid and wants to get her own after the second. And she wants a M696 after she rides the 250 Ninja for a while. I'm an engineer (chemical) but have got to be one of the slowest DIY'ers around. When I read it takes someone 1 hour to swap their front sprocket, I just know it's going to take me two - and then when it's all said and done, it actually took me like 3. Sad thing is I actually enjoy working on stuff, I just suck at the physical execution. I guess I should have taken shop class instead of typing in high school.
My bike is an 07 S2R1k, black with light mods. I fell in love with this bike when I first saw it and when I found out I could actually fit on it, I had to have it. My precious...This bike is awesome!
Anyway, keep up the good work on this site. It's an awesome resource and I can't get over the fact that this sprung out of the ashes of TOB. Restores my faith in humanity, a little bit.
