Went on a ride today and met someone with one of the 50th R1s.  Guy had the bike all dressed out with full Öhlins (Nix30s &TTX2), OZ wheels and a full Graves system.  Noticed a good two inches worth of chicken strips on his tires and asked if they were new for the season.  "Oh no, I bought those almost a year ago."   [bang]

Money well spent!
My people skills are just fine.
It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

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.

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.

I still miss my old BMW.  Not quite as much as I miss the S2000, but I miss it...

But you don't miss all the grief from the dealer service guys though.   [roll]

Defrosted a refrigerator. Picked up doggie monthly meds. Replaced the rear brakes on Gloria's car. ( Jeez, I can't stand the whine.....  ;D )  Changed oil & filter on the 848 and would have flushed the clutch & front brake fluid except I forgot my bottles at home and, don't you know it, we didn't have any small cans/bottles at the shop.  [bang]  Did some small paper work.  Heading home in a bit for a smoke & beer, etc.

Monday I took my SF in to SSD for another remapped ECU install...I know, I know, glutten for punishment. 

Today I went for a ride to see what I had.  Pretty smooth down low in the rpm range for a big L-twin, smooth transition through 4k rpm followed by a nice strong pull to the redline...oh boy, am I a happy camper!...  ;D[evil]  Been searching for this setup for 3 1/2 years and 24k+ miles.
