I installed the rest of my frame sliders from motovation. Got the front, rear and engine ones done... and did the rim tape yesterday 
What did you do to your Street Triple today?

They required a little tweaking here and there. I wasn't too excited cause I had to cut the front bracket that holds the OEM turn signals. Not a biggie, just annoying because I assumed it'd be plug and play. I'm not a fan of the bulky resistors that're required as well. Safety wise, it's good to know that the Rizoma lights can be seen when next to a car.
keep an eye out for the mirrors vibrating, making it hard to see through them - can point to imbalanced throttle bodies (which I guess are pretty easy to check if you've a tuneboy cable etc anyway)

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

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

Did the Cherohola Skyway in the rain a few weeks ago. It was surprisingly cold, lol.

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.

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.

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

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.

Meh if you are like me, group rides bug me, I dont trust people enough hahaI disappear a lot
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.
