2010 DITR

[Scottish]

Mods done to the Legend before Ouray:
Kawasaki ZX9R rear shock
Added 2 1/2" inches of spring pre-load to the front end
Lowered the forks another 0.400" in the triples
Completed my modified 3-into-1 exhaust system w/the Remus can.

The poor Michelin man...destroyed...  What did he ever do to me?!? 

You need to ride this thing Anson...  It's soooo much better than it looks like it would be!

Ahhh... well from what you listed, compared to the last time I saw it I'm not surpised. I remember sitting on it reminded me of my old land ladies El Dorado Barritz... a '76 I believe it was. You sank into it the same way.  Nicely done though, it's always fun when the unexpected comes smokin around a corner keeping up with bikes it has no business keeping up with. I've always been a fan of sleepers.

I rode Stu's Trumpet.  It's actually quite fun once you get used to the upright riding position (which took about three turns).  It feels like a heavy, mushy dirtbike.....you attack the turns and square them off rather than plowing into them like you would on a sportbike.      Nice engine...plenty of torque on tap down low and smooth 'til the power drops off near redline. 

All-in-all, the bike feels pretty good with its pipe on the ground, or passing your own MH900e on the outside of a left hander...until you spot a deer on the side of the road.    [moto]

Well, that explains how you paid your rent.

Good ol' Bunny.  I know you enjoyed her Cream Puff, too.  Never realized she was a cougar at the time.

Sooo...... I'm planning a bike for next year.... perhaps a Ouray debut.

Does that mean I get the Dragon back?

I'm thinking the Dragon will still be seeing use. It will be a more ridable bike, for normal usage. I'm thinking of building a beast. Something fast and pretty dedicated. I am thinking the that the Dragon may see use as a loaner for outta town without bike peeps as well. I know you'll probably hate the idea of others on him but hey.  I'm a droolng idiot.
