I rode mine 0 miles between last November and now because of what Cap'n Bob and I had to deal with (Snow !).

Installed:
  Carb cleaning and Overflow work by SISF
  Exhaust valves replaced
  Carbs sync'd, valve adjusted
  Bought Dunlop Elite 3's for front and rear (removed wheels myself for first time ever!)

Repairs from lowside in gravel in March '10
  Fixed scratches in upper & mid fairing with 'Icing'
  Created missing tabs with http://plastex.net/, repaired crack near right mirror too
  Twisted fairing frame into place using clamps and workbench
  Painted with Colorite spray cans
  Learned how to perform wetsanding
  Covered with Clearcoat and a lot of hand waxing

Planned:
  Buy a topcase (Shad, Givi), probably a 46 liter something
  Buy a Garmin 1460 (that has viapoints)
  Buy a power socket to mount on dash shroud

Build bridges, not walls.

Education is important. Riding my bike is importanter.

  • The C14 is vastly overrated.

sell it.
Please use this forum to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data, ability to repeat discredited memes, and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Also, be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor even implied. Any irrelevancies you can mention will also be appreciated.
