Actually I meant Fresco exhaust (2005 S2R 800 Fresco Exhaust) Oh, yes, that's my baby - before I had a chance to cure her... But, Dallas2r, I guess you are right - one can only pray that those Termis don't fly your direction  [moto] - So thanks for the link Cool

Well said Lisa... much better than my quip I was going to post about no White-Cat down, but we did have a Black-Termi down.  Grin
Hit a new top speed on the Blue-Streak today; 170 indicated, 157 on the GPS. Next time I'll start further back on that bridge instead of from where we parked.
I'd post more, but today was a blast and I'm freakin' tired!
Here's my pics:  http://pixl8.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Muenster-Run/9777416_yEvhR#662994260_3bKSN

160-170 what's the dif? That's just insane! (now be truthful was it fun? Smiley)

ok, who's Termi's had the incident? Did someone's cans come off? What's up?
Would someone please be so kind as to let me know what happened today? No code talk or Russian  laughingdp
OK, ok, if you must know.
First, I passed Eddie doing about 150 mph in 4th gear. Then, to reduce back pressure as I was reaching 10,000 RPM, I pulled the exhaust canister jettison lever under the seat and laid two deadly Termi eggs. All Monsters have exhaust canister jettison levers, and their use is typically restricted to getting rid of the stock exhaust, but this was a special occasion. I pointed her nose to the sky, and got the hell outa Dodge (or was that Boyd?), leaving Ed to marvel at my cavalier disdain for expensive Ducati Performance accessories, and to wonder how he might avoid running them over.

Did anyone take a picture of me busily at work with my claw hammer during the refitting process? I was wanting to post a thread on Roadside Exhaust Repair Tips & Tricks. Grin

I like the shot of Edik pissing over the bridge while Lisa tactfully averts her eyes...

Yes but what is totally obscured by my helmet in that shot is what I'm holding in my right hand; Eddie was kind enough to have poured me one of his all time favorite beverages - a sparkling glass of white Zinfindel *with* ice... He's such a nice boy  Evil

Fun riding and good food yesterday!  I'll get pictures posted at some point.  That was the first chance this year I've been able to ride my bike in any spirited manner.  I hope you all didn't mind me looking ridiculous, but I always find it a good opportunity to crawl around on the bike and work on form for future trackdays.  If you did think I looked ridiculous, well then too bad!  I don't care!   Cool  It may not be necessary for street riding, but out in the country is the best time to hang around on the bike and get comfortable.   laughingdp
