haha thanks for all the encouragement guys!  i don't know about free oil changes haha but i get pretty good discounts and the owner and manager there gives people we know a break on the labor as long as it's not crazy (no free dyno runs! haha).  although if i bring stuff in on my day off i can use the shop for free!  i'm hoping i can start throwing out some good hook ups though after i settle in there... still wearing the new guy label  :P  anyway if you're out in suffolk and you don't want to go to super moto italia (haven't heard good things), island motorcycle parts KTM is down the street at 401 middle country road, smithtown, ny.  you can just ask for asian dave haha (we have a couple daves... i'm the only asian)  keep riding!
