      • Broke the new pipe in some. Rode a few hours with Scout, then from J-town to Altoona (Eh, 50ish miles I guess). Gonna try to do about a hundred miles tomorrow if Pennsylvania cooperates.

        • Changed her oil and pulled the wheels off for a tire change...she looks all sad on the triple tree stand and the paddock stand with no wheels : (

          I did notice what looked like an oil leak from the filter, although it could be from where the oil cooler pipes exit the pan ( I hope not)

          • The weather was Gorgeous here over the weekend so on Saturday I changed the oil & filter. Cleaned and lubed the chain really good, (you could eat off it now) bled the brakes and I have a nice firm brake squeeze now. Then I gave her a nice bath. Now this Saturday I am going in for some new Conti Road Attacks. Yessir. It will be the 1st time I have had radials on the bike.

            • Good ride and added parts

              Went out Sat. for about 150miles, it ran great, I have been riding off and on all winter. I just replaced the 750 Crown with a 600 to lower the bars a bit more.. Have not had a chance to ride it yet cause of rain but it cannot rain all week (I Hope) Here are some pics. OH yes Polished or should I powder coat it?? Any thoughts..

                    The 2 pipes up front ? If that's actually the case , that'd be either a torque problem (break out the wrench) , or crush washer . IN either case , an easy fix .

                    • got the bike back from the shop.... apparently just needed a rest and a few minor adjustments. and it runs perfect!!! had a close call with a metro bus within five minutes of my first ride, going around a bend, i was in my lane and the metro bus comes almost halfway into mine, had to gun it while in the turn. then in dowtown cinci, i was the first car in a right turn only lane, and the car in the lane next to me decides to cut me off in the turn... other than those, it was a great day to ride, the rain they called for, never came!!
