Not so much today, but this week got a bunch of stuff in and put together.  Got all my presents sent off via USPS and FED EX.  Shipping costs of stuff I couldn't have wrapped and sent from the retailer really adds up.


Ohlins Triple adjustable rear for the Kawi installed


Ohlins 20mm 07zx6r front forks built by Kenny at MRP... installed
front fender off an 07 and Nissin calipers rebuilt/new pads


new chain on the zx6r and smaller rear sprocket..finally got a chain breaker and installer so if anyone else needs a new drive chain I can help.  Beats paying the dealer labor.


new front sprocket and CAT5 rear Vortex rear and chain on the 600RR

Opened up a letter I'd missed a moth ago:



OMG! I never thought it would happen to me! I'd like to thank the Academy, my family, ...

This is what happens when you win 2 races because nobody shows up! Now I gotta race against the really fast guys. Rats! Smiley

I got the tires changed yesterday on the CL360.  The mechanic recommended that I get the chain done, too, so I had that done.  When I got her home, I noticed the chain was rubbing the centerstand  Angry  I called them up, they said bring her back on Monday.  We'll see what happens.

Get them now while you can because our administration is going to push hard to stop this. A talking head on the radio the other day says they can't talk about "gun control" because that is too hot of a button. The new buzz phrase will be "gun safety". They will equate safety with control doncha know.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Not sure what happened to the stopper that was supposed to be on the centerstand.  MFI did right by me, they put a temporary fix in while a new one is on order ($0.99).  Good folks, too bad they don't do Ducatis.

Gander mountain ran out of pmags and ammo. It's absolute hysteria out there right now. Doesn't matter what brand now; if you can get your hands on it BUY IT.

I hate how when some idiot commits a crime it's the law abiding population that gets punished. Absolutely disgusting how politicians would do anything to bendover to make their image look good. Nothing but trying to get reelected.

The Magna is now road worthy!  Clutch, brakes, engine, lights, most of the gauges, work.  I still need to figure out where the overflow hose goes on the radiator.  The new Nissin brake and clutch master cylinders work very well and are easier to work on versus the stock Honda parts.  Time to move the Magna from the shed to the driveway, and move the Scrambler from the driveway to the shed.

There's no compensator/overflow bottle? If you're feeling crafty you could make one. An aluminum drinking bottle and some fittings would do well.
