but you do the unthinkable and get rid of stuff to get more, that's no way to build a collection. My way is slower but you end up eventually with more.  waytogo

it arrived and it's not pink! No photos yet at it arrived at 9:xx last night and I only got to ride it to the end of the block, back and up the drive.

But jebus is it tall... Even with the 17s it's up there. Putting on the 21/18 set will be interesting...

Got some farkels on the way! And just ordered the shorter side stand from the SMC as it stands almost bolt upright using the Enduro side-stand with 17s.

Oh boy!

Not bad - It'll take some adjustment figuring it out though. Don't really want to mash the throttle when I'm already at nearly 45 degrees on that first section. Method so far's been a bit more gas, with a bit of clutch slip. Sure as shit don't want to stall there.
