I hate when it's beautiful out and I have a corded rear tire.

You could always buy a new one.  Just saying...
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.

I hate when it's pretty outside and I cannot ride because I lost my gear transmission rod  :-[

Lol.  I looked everywhere in my damn house this weekend to find it.  I think it's possible it got left at the powdercoater.  Gonna take a week for the new one to arrive  :(

So, notice any difference in the way you/it feel/s after I tweaked the damping on the Daytona?

Yeah, it's much more stable going in and when braking before the corner. I didn't necessarily notice it before, but now that it's gone...I can tell that there was a little "hiccup" in the suspension as I was setting up/cornering. Has definitely decreased the pucker factor. I still need some work on picking lines and good corner entry speed. I'm also still not great at judging how much ass to get off the seat for a given curve. I should be able to get lots of seat time this summer and will hopefully be riding better and better.

Doood, what do you expect?  I'm surprised it lasted that long with the way you're winding that thing up and sliding around corners the way you are.

It's hard to wrangle in the raw power of the 695. I don't know if I'll ever find a tire that can handle the sheer torque.

I've got a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport tires if you want. Just help me take 'em off the rims and you can have them!

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

I ran into traffic last night, around 11:30 PM, in the most unlikely spot. No obvious obstructions... just plain ol traffic. I'm starting to notice this pretty regularly. So...

Does it seem the population here in DC has grown substantially compared to this time last year? I recall being able to move about more freely on most of my ant trails... wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Prices are a bit cheaper ($10-$15) at competition accessories http://www.compacc.com/p/Dunlop-Sportmax-Q2-Motorcycle-Tires-Z-Rated-Package-Specials I've been loooking around  ;D

Btw, bit of a tech question: what size tire on a 6-inch rear hub? I've seen 180/55 listed as fitting, but I'm wondering how much more "squashed" would the tire be, and if it's just better to go with a 190/50?
