My girl sleeps upright with a nice blanky to keep her warm and dry. I always make sure to wish her a goodnight before putting her to sleep.

 

I'm cross-posting, simply because I missed it from a few weeks back.

Sounds like it was a good deal. Offer expired 9/30 though.

Nice neyzen!:thumbsup: If I had the money, I'd like to get a wrecked Street Triple and put longer travel suspension on it and do logging roads/easy trails. Others will say "Why not just get a Tiger 800?". Two reasons.....I like the power delivery of the Street much better(the Tiger 800's is too soft imo) and it weights too much!

 

as a long distance dirt rider, lemme tell ya, the STR is a wonderful street bike. not a dirt bike. the rake/trail of the front end will not work in the dirt, it's wash out city. sure, knobbies will make it better but in the dirt you need totally different geometry.

buy a DS for dirt riding, you'll spend less and enjoy more. :nod:

 

And in just a matter of minutes...:thumbsup:

Expecting the Metzler's to be provide good traction during the wet fall/winter.

Well, I tried it and it seemed to work for me too. :thumbsup: Thanks!

 

Back on topic...


Put a new Dunlop Q2 rear on today.

 

Picked her up from my tuner today, they skimmed the head, and put daytona cams in.

 

Nice work. How much did that put you back (if you don't mind me asking)?

Scott

 

1000€, including cams, service, tune.

 

Good God! That's about double what it would cost me here in Texas.

 

how much is that in USD?

 

how much is that in usd?

1,000.00 eur = 1,351.41 usd

 

1300?

 

Yep

Removed parts as I prepare to sell....for a Daytona

 

Wow! Beyond me for sure....

 

My baby got some rear axle sliders and spools to protect her if she goes for a slide down the road.

Very happy with the spools as they have a spacer that offsets the spools so you can still use a rear stand without it fouling on the axle slider. I hear the trumpy spools are close to the swing arm and using a rear stand will scratch the swing arm. These are so far off the swing arm it shouldn't pose any problems.

cool, looks good! :cool2:

now wash that rear wheel...

 

I think if I spend more time practicing and riding the bike then cleaning it, I'll probably come up trumps......

Ha see what I did there?

 

meh. i ride daily in heavy traffic. lots of brake dust.

my wheels dont look like that.

see what i did there? :biggrinjester:

 

New rear tire installed so did a scrub in ride 120 miles.

 

Actually, it feels quite the same, you just get an extra kick in the butt at 10k.

 

Finally added a Tail Tidy.

 

What kit is that?

Evotech.

 

Today I noticed BOTH my headlights are cracked. The outside is smooth so I doubt it was from an impact. God dam it!

 

Tronix, I think I remember a recall on this. Or were yours already replaced?

 

no, they are the originals, I dont think mine was part of the recall

 

I have a 12 str as well and mine were covered. Never received a notice of recall just took it in to my dealer and complained. Should be covered regardless of if you were in the right recall vins.

 

What did I do to my street triple....I traded it in on a 2013 triumph storm.
