Tell me where it is, and I'll see if I can't make it by.  I should be there around 9, but to beat the rain I've got to get on the road fairly soon.

Going to order up some pieces today that I feel the bike should have :)

The lower cowl/chin fairing.  Should I replace it in carbon, or have it PC'd black? 

The passenger pegs I'm going to PC to match the frame

The exhaust heat shield needs to be PC'd black as well.

I need a tail-bag.  Those side cases make the bike WIDE and cause you to do a chuck-norris reverse roundhouse kick to dismount the bike without scuffing them.  So for daily riding I'll leave them off. 

A tank protector or scuff guard.

For now, thats it.  The thing absolutely RIPS in sport mode.  It's retarded fast, way more than I'd ever need...ever.  It almost feels wrong, sitting that upright and accelerating like a SBK.

You're really not doing anything to help Buckethead and me hate you less.

I'll admit to having long-distance twisty fantasies two-up on the new Multi...  [evil]

Just don't tell my 999 that...  ;)

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it
