Hope he's happier there than he was here. Say "tppphhphphph" for us. Or, at least, me. |

Think it was mainly the job (management) that he didn't like down there. We'll see how things go up here... |

That was my understanding as well. The raspberry stands.  |

By the way, he asked me to pass along that the girl who went in to take your spot (in his heart and office) was mighty fine...  |

I'm not easily replaced, but it sounds like it may have happened, just this once.  |

Went down to the shop and offered technical advice to Rick as he modified his exhaust baffles so they would be just like mine...  Took a ride up Tantalus with Rick to kill time while Exhaust Systems Hawaii did a little welding on the baffles. So, how do they sound?... |

Met up with part of the JJ gang this morning and took my boss with us for a slow to medium ride. Nothing real thrilling happened. He's picking it all up pretty quick.
I'm painting the new exhaust baffles now and watching TV. Will catch the MotoGP race in a bit.

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.

Good fun for me today...medium pace, but was able to wick it up a bit in spots. Let us know how the exhaust is with the new baffles...hope you get that sound that you've been chasing... |

Had ANOTHER of the local guys go down today.  hope you get that sound that you've been chasing... Think the motor needs to "go to eleven" to get the sound he is after. |

The sound of Eleven? Well, maybe..... I'm not looking so much for the deep bass but just trying to get some noise that's still below obnoxious. Gene said he couldn't even hear the engine with the full stock baffles in and having just the end caps in is still a bit loud when the engine is wicked up. I'm returning to a former version that has the "Gene" mod. We'll see next weekend. |
