I'm with ya Sean, definitely jumped the gun on this one. Just was the only guy with a clean title that I could get sub 4k. The exhaust really annoys me, fairings not so much cause good chance I drop or lay it down.

Debating on a new matching gloss black front fairing or this carbon fiber...

What you guys think?

Got an update on the scooter for you guys. My buddy ended up bringing it to someone else to fix cause he got Madd I wouldn't dive any further til he bought a new head kit for it 😆.

Turns out the oil pump went bad and starved the engine of lube. Guess that's why the empty can of starter fluid was in the box of extra parts 🤣. So he ended up waiting over a month and had to spend on a new head like I told him lol. Oh well....


Got some new Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3s on my bike and man do they like to lean in! Took a trip to mtk so I could break them in and find this things top speed... It's not fast 😮‍💨

Cleaned and oiled the chain this morning, what a mess it makes but it was squeeking so needed to be done. Put 1600 miles on it since I last did it. Didn't think I drove that much. 🤷‍♂️

The bike felt kinda funny on the highway this afternoon. Arse end felt a little loose/twitchy when shifting at higher revs..... I'm starting to understand how maintenance heavy these things are. Lots of parts that need to be working perfect 🙃

Did a oil change today and noticed I got a spot of oil on the tire. Wiped with brake clean then dish soap. Now I have this spot on the tire. Any thoughts on if it's bad and what I should do?..

I need to get a pair of pants with sliders on them so I can break the fear of sliding. Just got my race suit and about a month out from my first tack day.... Not many spots I feel comfortable practicing, blind corners and so much traffic here.
