What??  No bungee net??

Now that you mention it, I should probably get a few to keep the whole thing from falling apart! [laugh]
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Made this out of a leftover sheet of 6061-T6 Aluminium.



It will hold down the front of the gas tank and provide some cover/protection for the pod filters.

That's some real Shinya Kimura isht right there. Build-off!

That sounds far nicer than 'hack with a hammer'.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

I actually did end up hacking it a bit because the hole for the tank pin was too low. Not to mention my sofisticated bending techniques: I bolt the thing on the frame, start bending it by hand and then finish it by inserting the handlebars between the trellis and leveraging a bit! 8) ;D

Bought and/or rented the necessary supplies for me to change the rear spring on the S2R...I'll be having fun with my camping headlight in the garage tomorrow. So if you see a guy on a swayback monster tomorrow...say Hi! [laugh]

Picked up the SD from its 15000km service.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Have you decided to keep that thing?

Most likely.  If nothing else, it's fun to torment Lars with.   ;D

Got the Dorsoduro back on the road.  Rode to work today and it felt like a hot hairdryer in my face riding home.  Need a new front tire...the middle has plenty of tread, but sides are about bald. [thumbsup]

Quick run to the garage this AM to do a bit of work.

Front is pretty much complete - fender is on the way but I still need to decide between a TrailTech Vapor or something with more bling $$$....



Speaking of bling, here's the clutch pressure plate and billet spring retainer (yea I need to do something about the frame paint).

No, the udder interferes with the 916-type swingarm so it would have to go. I had hoped I could get away with just moving the inlet for the vertical head to the side but that wont work. I would like to use the S2r's dual mufflers but I want to keep them low like the exhaust on the Streetfighter, we'll see how that works out....

Worked for a few hours (I'm NOT liking this one bit by the way!) and then left early to hit the Bowie loop before heading home (I liked this a lot better!).

Now I've entered a severe depression upon realizing my summer of fun is over! Damn it!!!!!! [bang] [bang] [bang]

you'll be employed so you can make $$$ and spend it on that new girl of yours (Triumph).  I am sure your S2R1K is ready to kick you in the :o
