nice, i been looking for one of those

 

Cleaned her up a little.

 

mmmm chicken

 

Low Boy and Tail Tidy installed.

 

Got new hoops (PR3s) installed and was ashamed to see the front pads (DP Brakes) that I'd installed about 6 months ago were almost down to the backing plates! :icon_redface: I've used these pads on other bikes, no probs and this was only with urban street use. Pistons weren't binding or anything...in fact wear was uniformly down to <1mm all round

 

valve caps

just a small thing, new bullet valve caps!

 

Just arrived in Marville, Tenn. in the Smokies on the Street Triple. 5hr ride.

 

Yesterday I rode the Dragon and came back through Cherokee N.C. to Maryville on the Street Triple. If you think the dragon is wild, try to do it when it's piss and pouring. Rained most of the day. Today I just did Gatlinburg Tn. with my lady. Tomorrow doing 441 back to Cherokee again two up.

Make sure you ride the Blue Ridge Parkway and Rt28.... ALLL of Rt28.

Also, I'm very jealous as I sit here typing this. LOL

 

Rode it to work.







Hoping to go for a short ride with a few buddies in a couple of hours.

 

Just got home from the Smokies. While riding into Bowling Green, Ky. I was almost hit by some guy trying to get into my lane with me right beside him. Since my horn isn't that lowed I just pulled in the clutch and revved it up. He finely figured out that I was there and pulled back into his lane. I was so pissed I gave him the bird, several times. Ate at Tootes and 70 miles later relaxing on the couch. I just love riding this bike, even at interstate speeds. Before the trip I learned a few techniques on u-tube that really helped in taking curves. Ran a mantra in my mind that went : Stay wide and finish tight: worked like a charm.

 

Bit of a ride all over the place

 

^gorgeous pics. Got some q3s installed yesterday and got them mostly scrubbed in today. Feel great so far

rode about 100 miles.

 

I have yet to meet or ride with you even though we live in the same state and are on the same forums. :smilielol5:

 

Flushed the brakes F/R and bled them with DOT 5.1

 

Made some Rizoma Mirror extenders. I stem was too short for my riding position and my arms got in the way. Extending 'em out a bout an inch and a half allowed me to move the mirrors up and out to get a better view and allow for a quicker rear view check.

The picture has 'em about 2.5" out, but I eventually brought the mirrors in a bit. Here's a photo with the spacers and the Rizoma Linea mirrors.

 

...Extending 'em out a bout an inch and a half allowed me to move the mirrors up and out to get a better view and allow for a quicker rear view check...

that's not gonna work in traffic. too high and too wide. learn to pull your elbow in while mirror checking, we all deal with it.

i see the weld its a tiny square tac welded on the top between the two holes of the snapring

that block is to keep the circlip/snapring from rotating and loosening in the groove. a snapring is open between the eyes. i didn't see any tacks in those pics.

 

I disappear a lot I only went on one group ride this year and that was back in june I think. Don't worry though maybe one day

 

Meh if you are like me, group rides bug me, I dont trust people enough haha

Though the few I do ride with are great guys and we do seem to ride together very well, mainly I think cause we all respect each other, I learned my lesson back in the day to not be a huge group rider fan haha.

 

Rained this morning. Didn't ride to work. I hate going to work after vacations. I think that I ruined my Hy-Viz jacket when I didn't clean off the excess chain lube from the Striple before leaving on the trip.

 

Yeah been cloudy and cooler around here all day and looks like most of the week. Sitting around 60 today which is crazy as it was in the 80-90s last week haha

 

I bought a replacement track only weapon for the ST3. Look for a lightly used (1500 miles) 2013 Penske double clicker with ride height for sale soon. Don't need that now that I have the KTM.

 

Gave her a good wash. Probably her last one before the season ends and it's time to put her away.

Dang man, I almost cried, when I read this.

np

 

Changed the air filter on the Street Triple with out unplugging the gas line or anything else. Seen this on you tube and it worked good.

It takes like a whole minute to remove the pre-'13 tank when you are practiced at it and it is something every Street Triple rider who does their own maintenance should be. It makes things much easier and safer.

For anyone that is not aware the plastic fitting at the bottom of the fuel pump is built in and not replaceable. Break it and you are buying a whole new pump assembly not to mention the down time while you wait for parts. Crack it, not notice, and bad things could happen on the road.

The risk is just not worth whatever time you think you are saving.

I gave mine a good wash today too...I think she appreciated it.

 

no bewbs?

 

Sold her yesterday.

Our relationship was brief but full of wonder and joy.

 

nooooo

 

Installed a new RK GB520GXW chain and Supersprox sprockets.

 

Had a motorcycle exhaust hanger making dance party with myself.



Had to make my own hanger because the used pipes I bought didn't come with them. No biggie...slight headache, but my hanger works well enough for me

 

What color spray paint?

 

Looks and sound great Scottyy!! nice job.

 

Thanks.
