Yup. Had a photoshoot that I was ahead of schedule for that was nearby so I made a run for it.  Lotsa gravel in the center of the lanes still. Be careful up there.


Cool, my backyard, I'm on Bull Mountain, that means you must be close to me Stephen, now I know who to contact for a good photographer to schedule a photo shoot!  ;) :) :chugbeer:

New Michelin Pilot Road 3 tires, and had the valve cover gasket replaced.
I went for the 55 profile rear to give it a try.

It warmed up and rained pretty hard yesterday, enough to clear the main roads of the salt and sand, so I drove it home from the shop.  The secondary roads still had a bit of water and sand. My driveway was the worst.

Now I'll just have to wait for about another month and a half until I get to ride it.

Rode up past Bristol Motor Speedway, up the Snake(US 421) to the store at the crossroads and had a bologna sandwich--the cashier wanted to know if I wanted it fried. Bless her!!

I am still waiting for my bike to get out of the shop with a two brothers pipe and the pc5.  I asked them about taking out the secondary flies.  "We'll see once it's on the dyno" he said.  ETA is 4 more days away.  Just in time for a rain soaked weekend.

That is a strange response from someone you are paying to do work on your bike.

Maybe we would think that normally, but in this case the bike will get a custom dyno tune by none other than Eric Dorn of EDR Performance.  EDR Performance is the premiere motorcycle performance and racing center on the West Coast.  So... I will let him see what he thinks... that's ok with me.  I am sure he will try it both ways.  Here is their link.

EDR is one of the best shops in the PNW. Its worth the wait. When you consider how much building they do for everyone from local trackday bikes, to AMA Pro racers, its very understandable. Even still Ive brought in an emergency job for them a few times and had it done same day. Amazing customer service there.

I've known Big E since we were in highschool, he's the man when it comes to bike and motor building and dyno tuning!  :thumbs: :thumbs:


Here he is dialing my ZG in a couple years ago.  :chugbeer:







And here he is back in the 90's, looking at my track bike ZX7 he built for me after I wadded it up at Spokane...  :'(
