Thin is in my man...
Besides, your bike feels faster if it has less weight to move.

Won't claim that I couldn't shed a few pounds, but I'm near 6' and have a 32" waist. I'm not fluffy just go some muscles. If I dropped to 6% I'd still be in a mid/upper 180s. Been there and doesn't look good on me. Lost a pound a day for a week during some training and I looked like sheeeeet at the end.

Why's the header clean? The bike's all mud spattered, but the header is all shiny


And no - I just got the ability to swap wheels this weekend - maybe this coming weekend I'll get some play time. Been work work working... lots of house stuff (fun fun) and going through the bike. Since it came home I:
Changed the oil,
installed some billet bling (filter covers and filler) that I got off ebay,
flushed the brakes. Fluids looked more like good Scotch than bad beer.
Installed radiator crash guards
Bought and installed the side stand from the SMC. With 17" wheels and the E stand the bike stands almost straight up.
Removed the stock mirror and fitted up a bar end clamped inside the switches
Fit Acerbis SuMo hand guards.
Pulled spark arrestor baffle
Checked all suspension settings
Adjusted rear brake settings/position.
Wondered what the hell has happened to my order for axle sliders.
