Title: Happy and Sad....
Post by: CIE on August 18, 2008, 01:30:47 PM
Well.....

Sold the Monster this weekend.  Really without ever even going for a ride with the Ducati Monster crew here.  I was suprised to see it go so quickly.  Advertised friday afternoon and it was gone sunday morning.  She was a trusty steed, but it was time to move on.  I'll probably go bikeless over the winter and see what I can figure out for next summer.  I'm moving close to work in a few weeks.   A motard bike may be right up my alley.

Now onto the "Happy."

Picked up a new   (to me anyway) GSX-R 600 track bike.  Wa-hoo.  Can't wait to get it out there.  She's gonna be a rocket compared to the old 750 Monster.

So, who's going to the Keigwins Oct 11-12 track weekend at Thunderhill?  If you're there, stop by saturday night for a "celebrate that I'm turning the big 30" beer.  Can't think of a better spot to celebrate a b-day than camping at the track.

Cool... We'll have to coordinate to hook up.  I think we'll be camping in a pop up tent trailer and riding both days.  We've got a black 600rr and a blue, white, yellow GSX-R.

I installed it about 10 mins before I posted that picture. It's the full titanium system not just the slip on. I'll tell you how I like it after my next trackday at T-Hill on Sept 1-2nd. I was lucky when I got this there are only 3 available in the US right now on major back order.

Schweet... I'll be on the look out.  We'll be camping in the getto-ist of pop up campers.  She's a trusty old Scamper.   We call her the scamp-nasty.

Once I put my bike back together (it's in the post purchase, take apart into a million pieces phase right now) I'll take some pics.

I'll probably be the guy missing shifts my fist session because I've never ridden a  GP shift bike before. Ha, ha, ha.  You can bet that there will be some tape on my tach with "down stupid" written on it.

Yes sir... Just got the parts in for it too... but it's on hold until the track bike is back up and running:
