Made it home alive, no stalls, no wrecks, no road rash!

I know bigger bikes will eat it for lunch, but this thing is fast for a 300cc twin!

Definitely as fast as a sport version of a good v-6 sedan or coupe.
So no more worries about holding up traffic in town up hills, and hitting the I-5 freeway to go north or south is going to be a breeze.
:cool:

And I hit 46mph on the scooter down a hill while driving it to the motorcycle shop!
Was bouncing off the re-limiter and everything!
Which means a weak clutch contra spring.
A stiffer spring would bring it up to 45mph on the flats, which was my goal all along.

Doesn't really matter now.
Super happy with the new motorcycle!

Got some good video footage of the last scooter drive, and some good footage of the first Ninja drive.
Need to sort them out and upload them to youtube later tonight.
Right now I need to toke and go get some TP.

Thanks :-)
Will replace tires first, with some good Pirelli "Rosso Diablo II" tires if I feel the need after the rains come.
Then shock & front springs to get smoother road performance.
But I'll probably be getting saddle bags & tank bag first.
Performance wise it's plenty fast enough for me, but I'd like to make it louder and more noticeable in traffic, so will be looking into a good exhaust kit.
Wind blast is heavy from the front, (small windscreen) so will need to upgrade that.

Lots of little things.
But not for a bit.

Got an email from Hight Times today with their HT Cup sales splaff in it. They have changed the venue this year in Amsterdam to a place called Undercurrent. Venue looks nice but issue with it is, it's in Amsterdam Noord! Which means getting a boat to it from the Centre. They reckon upon 9000+ guests at the venue, yet the venue holds a 550 capacity......and they boast of having a "smoking area" which scarily says to me, that the main venue will be "non smoking". We shall see when we visit it. skiping getting a booth this year.

Dst, I feel your pain with the bor. My weather is taking a dive and raining for the next 4-5 days straight. I tried auto's for the fact they finish early and thinking the ruderalis gene would protect it against what mold issues that shouldn't have been that big of a deal. I was even wrong with that, it rained all June and July with cold weather. Out of the 16 I had out, 13 had at least a small amount of bor on it. I didn't treat with anything and was counting on the ruderalis gene.

I think I just spent half the day in and out of here trying to catch up. lol I've been moving the last week or so and haven't been able to get by so I do have a good excuse. We are getting settled in. I'm scoping things out that need to be taken care of and making a list so the landlord can take care of them and not have to come around for a while. Luckily I got a good landlord who keeps up on things. Once that's done I'll start setting up and bringing over a few seedlings I have going at my pals garden.

Doobie, congrats on your new bike! I know squat about them myself. Was interested in Harley's in the past but outgrew the desire I guess. A nice E bike to get around town is more my speed these days.

Here's to you stay at home dads. http://www.babble.com/relationships/being-a-stay-at-home-parent-is-a-luxury-for-your-spouse/

Good seeing other 600 peeps straying back in. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy! :hug:

Lastly, love the dog shots! Here's my boy Nero getting settled in himself.

I love it. My first dog as a kid was a shar-pei(i think I spelled it right). I'm starting BW pictures next week. The school lent us old 35mm camera to use and being Kodak is from here, they give us 10 rolls of film to use for class. I have my other camera set to bw to get am idea of what it will look like with the other camera.

Cats also have their place in the 600.010.JPG

Hey @DST do you see that clone on the top left on the floor? Its a pineapple clone that I tried to revegg I think its finally coming along but all the new grow is starting at the bottom. Do you think it would be OK to chop the top part since no new growth is coming out of it or should I leave it be ?

It should be good it has that new branch. I would cut that old buded stalk off and let the new take over. Revegs will grow kind of crazy:)

When you get a call in the morning telling you to check your mailbox, and you find a couple of nice Herijuana nuggets in it, you KNOW it's gonna be a good day! Thanks buddy!

Jimmer...For practice I've been forcing myself to go back to basics lately and not rely on the technology so much. I'll change my LCD screen to show info/histogram only and no image so I can't chimp, then I try to rely on the Sunny 16 rule only for my exposure. I'll have no idea what the images look like until I get home and export them. I think if you try this before you try the film you'll have better results.

:peace:

Two brothers full carbon fiber exhaust, replace signals with flushmounts and integrated tail light, grip mirrors, high flow air filter, stainless brake lines, Ohlins suspension, and a steering damper should start you off right. Enjoy the new ride!
