nice bike man...i've always liked the speed triple since they went a little more "streetfighter" and less japanese...great looking ride.

you know if you paint it red though you gain like +5 hp   [thumbsup]

hope to see you at a meetup soon, man...   [drink]

Thanks guys. Going on the Muenster ride is tempting but I have only 19 miles on the engine and need to get in a few more heat cycles/oil changes on the engine before I ride with you loonies! The bike was built back in 11/06 and was probably started a few times somewhere in there. I need to get that oil out of there pronto.

And yes Mr. Kraut, red is a fast color but this roulett green is going to be a beast! [clap]

Green cool. Red not.

Screw it Doug, jeez, breaking that puppy in with us is like a Godsend. '06 oil or not, it's not like that Arabian crude has broken down in two years. You are required, just like 1niceputt and others to show up or else. I see major bad karma in your future if you don't show. Is there a better way to break in that British beauty than with us on Sunday. It's not like you have to go 140 the whole time. Just cruise and break that baby in. [moto] It's required dude!

You're nuts.
I bought a leftover 955 too.
The dealer weenie told me to take it easy on it "because the cam bearings on those bikes are really tight at first..."

Yeah, thanks weenie.

I did 110MPH+ the whole way home for over three hours, across the desert.  Only stops: GAS.

Beat it. Wring it. Kick it like the neighbors dog (I actually do not condone kicking dogs, but you get the point).

The only thing you stand to hurt is yourself.   [thumbsup]

P.S. I have Mucho Mucho miles on it now 20,000+/- miles worth.
No shims needed on the valves. 
No nothin' needed Xcept oil changes (and the occasional lever and paint -DOH!   ;D  )
DFW-MFer!

Enjoy

I really like those.  They look like a blast to ride around town.  Mind if I ride it around the block sometime?  Nice score!   [thumbsup]
