Yeah, I went and picked up the GSXR today, and while riding home I was thinking, man, I'm going to miss this bike. Then when I got home, shut it off, and opened the garage, and it wouldn't start. I'm not going to miss it that much. edit:

Ride report: 02-22-07 I have been watching the weather for the past month just waiting for a nice 70 degree day. Earlier this week was nice as well but my work week is normally busiest at the first of the week, so I stalled out for today. Woke up, drank coffee, took a shower, and rolled out. Pretty good flow of traffic, except for a merge right before 161st on I-44, that backed it up a bit. After that, smooth sailing, until scenic 412 that is. Scenic 412.  The gateway to the twisties really. You'll probably use this road if you're going to AR or MO. Nice couple of turns before Locust Grove, then head up through Sallisaw to Spavinaw for some even better curves. Through "new road" to Jay, then on a long ride, probably up through 20 into MO to ride highway 90. Today there was a slight hickup in my smooth sailing. It's called wide load.  Some huge railway system stuff or something. Took up most of both lanes and no traffic could go through.  Oh and bonus, while we were waiting another wide load rolled up. Good thing they didn't meet in the middle, as I doubt either one of these guys would have been able to back up.  HERE SHE COMES BOYS!!! No rush though, still took like 5 minutes for it to even get to us.  How many axles does that thing need????? Also it backed up traffic something fierce. OK, onward an upward through Locust grove and Sallisaw to Spavinaw. Roads right now in Spav are pretty clean. Lots of road kill out and about though, so definitely watch for that, as well as lots of tree damage, but most of that is off on the sides. Fun times.  It wouldn't be an Oklahoma road sign if it didn't have bullet holes. This is the famed Spavinaw horseshoe. A long right that is decreasing radius. Watch for it if you're cruising through Spav and take this one kinda slow.  The Pit Stop. Now closed but used to be a nice little place to stop off for a break. I still want to find out if it's for sale and open it up again. I didn't get any shots of new road, not really anything on it but turns and chicken farms. Cruised through new road to Jay, decided to get some eats. I am normally of the mind to find someplace local and different. I missed out and went the wrong way. Finally after not seeing anything that looked good, I turned around and had a quick bite at Mcdonalds. Doh, rolled out and went up to get on highway 127 and just a half mile away there was a little bbq shack. I missed out. Went to go check out highway 127. FYI it's trashed.  Yay for twisties!!  WHOO HOOO, even tighter twisties, but in the middle of these twisties...  Whoa, something in the MIDDLE of the road. No fun.  Oh, a big pile of hay and poo poo in the road, this is always fun to exit a corner into.  Mind your entry speed. Oh and watch for rocks! At the end of 127 the stop sign before new road is full of sand. I was doing the flintstone shuffle to get it stopped without locking anything up. I'm sure the guy in the car at the stop sign thought I was a freak! I ran new road, turned around, ran new road again, stopped in Jay at the gas station filled up and went BACK through new road and back through Spavinaw stopping in Salina. Good times but the traffic had definitely picked up from this morning. I went through this morning without having to pass any cars. The afternoon I passed a goldwing, and probably 4 cars or so. I stopped in Salina for a coke and a brief break. If you have ever watched that show over the hill, the one with boomhower or whatever. I met his his grandfather in Salina. Was going to get a coke and the guy was "ble de me hoom sha hey what?" to which I replied "Yeup". He wanted to shake my hand and show me his glasses as well. Good times. I pay for my coke head out the door. He comes out a bit later as I am smoking, goes at it again. "behend de da boop shmeee sorta n kinda well boop dat boop whoo" I mostly just nodded. Then 2 cop cars come flying through lights and sirens blazing. He advises me that there's a fire. Sure enough a fire truck comes blazing through just a couple of minutes later. Good call dude. I was headed home, but what the hell. Cop cars? Fire engines? Gotta be something cool. I gear up and roll back through Spavinaw but never find them nor see any smoke or actually anything cool really. Just turns. I round out the day at blue hole, and turn around and go back through Spav. Taking time to Rev it a bit at a Mom/Daughter who were waving at me. Roll back home, meet up with Sam_Rush and head to K&N. Total miles 239.  :up Oh and lastly, you can tell everyone is super pumped to get out and ride, as EVERYONE on a bike waved. Eh cept for one Harley guy and one Goldwing guy. Silver fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Feb 23, 2007 |

Were they strap on bags? I love mine, got it from Squishy_Buddha. Has a neoprene base so no scratching or slipping, and since the RR tanks are plastic, it straps on. For the most part, yeah I love it and would dearly miss it. Coretech super mini, they're on Newenough for like 50 bux I think. edit: Just saw you had the same one. Weird. I know Squish used it for awhile. I have had no complaints really.

Or does he roll around all the time with the front shocks compressed almost fully. Whoa. Lastly, to add picture content, helping a friend out to build portfolio, I'm a SUPA STAR!

Man, that guy is making the rounds again. I've seen it on 3 different emails and a few forums. The guy with his head stuck in a truck was in Tulsa, doing 120+ on 169 and smacked into the back of the truck. No one really knows why. In the emails it says "WEAR UR HELMET, HE LIVED" but actually, he didn't live. This was also a week after another guy died running into a truck. Police crackdown on sportbikes went into hyper mode for a bit.

Uthor posted:It popped up on the "Pictures that Look Like Photoshops" thread a few days ago. I'm assuming that's why it came up here. Yeah but I've been seeing it in emails too, not just on here. Big chain saying that he lived. As for suicide, not sure. From what I understand(no documented proof) he wasn't drunk and from the trucker guys statement that there weren't any other cars on the road. So who knows.

I gave them wrong directions thinking wouldn't find it but drat, they got here. I said right, but meant left. Whoops.  Whoa, workin motorcycles, pres butan it go.  Wheres this cuppy thing go? FYI, if you use repsol you don't need that cuppy thing, you're just lucky I had one.  WHERE DA WHEELS GO??? WTF.  Who cares about the wheels. WE FOUND WHERE THE CUPPY THING GOES!!!  Gary shows up on his KTM we all stand around and watch Juan work on his bike while laughing.  Here's the KTM guys all hanging out and me going "Whoa, lot's of KTM's let's hope they don't drop parts everywhere".  KTM'S EVERYWHERE!!!!!  Now they are gearing up to leave, Juan is washing his stuff. They're like "later dude". No parts were left, but Cliff had to lock tight some stuff before leaving at Bob's request.  It's a very clean KTM.  Ok this. THIS. See how he's not looking at backing up but at the yard?? Yeah.  Here they are leaving in a blur.   BECAUSE THIS IS MY YARD!!!!! THANKS CLIFF!!!  Good times :up :up Thanks for stopping by guys, always fun rapping and hanging out with you all.

He's got little arms, but is a VERY good rider. He's owned/rides Yamaha R6, for multiple 400+ mile days and track days. KTM 105cc dirt bike, ridden a bunch. Now he's on the KTM690SM. He might have others. Does a lot of his own work on bikes, such as putting on the exhaust on his KTM. He's also loving hilarious/awesome guy all around. He's just made it work. I guess there was a group ride some time ago and Bob was on it, some newer guys were talking to an older veteran rider and asking the same question, "How is he going to ride... will he be able to keep up?" the veteran replied "Guys, don't worry about him keeping up, you just try to keep up with him". By the end of the ride they were like "Respect." hehe. Bob's loving awesome.

Oh yeah I didn't figure any disrespect intended. Mostly leans forward a lot, I think the only thing he's really done is a throttle thing. He's only got 2 fingers on each arm, so it's to make it easier for to grip/twist. Trips that he's done so far have been Laguna Seca for MotoGP/Pac 1 on the R6 with a couple of friends. He actually has a DR650 too I forgot to add that one. On that he went down to Copper Canyon in Mexico(one of my dream trips fyi) with some buddies of ours. Bob's the man.

That was the camp spot they choose, had to water cross the buffalo river. The next night, about a mile of this...  To get to the camp site. But while they were off riding dirt I got to ride...  That. Which was rad. And the water crossing and dirt roads were more  than anything. Was a kick rear end time, waiting for all the pictures to get ftp'ed up from everyone and I'll do a ride report.
