Glad to hear you got another street mule Jim - I can hardly imagine what it's like to haze the rear in second at a buck, but I guess that's how all the Litre's are now............ :D
Wow!
If I ever get another day off, I'll have to finish a few bits on mine and look you islanders up for a put...........

I was really torn on just what to get. I just went to the Yam store to get some numbers and they had a 50th in the crate. just came in and i knew if I didn't do it that that option was going to go away...So I said yes.
Haven't figured out just how many air miles this gets me yet though....

You bet Darcy!!!!

I'll need just a weeks notice to make sure I have the time off to make it. Being that I'm "the Boss" it shouldn't be a problem.

This is going to be sooooooo much fun :banana

Awwww, Jimbo. How could you let it get wet? :poke

I know it only stops raining for 3 minutes a day in your area....but it's yellow...and fast...you should have been able to get it home before it started back up again!


Btw...sticking with the stock rubber or going to opt for something else right away?

So I had to run down to Tacoma yesterday morning. Comming back up the highway. Doing the break in thing, varying the revs, leaning on it a bit. Just putting a little load on it. Here comes the 19 year old in Daddys 5 Oh Mustang.....
Wants to go by in the fast lane as I start to lean on the loud handle a bit in 6th. Little roll on from 4k to 8K then get out of it. musta put 30 lengths on him in about 2 seconds. Made my day...
Snerk....Fuppin kids.

That's wonderful Jim.

Sometimes I think my bikes like I do my kids--each with it's own qualities but all loved equally.

But with that in the garage, I think I'd be the favorite child.

Hey Jim,
If you are thinking of putting slipons on it the GYTR ones make the most power, even more than the Graves half-system. Just finished a test of 5 or 6 different sets. We ended up going like +60 on the CO adjustment from the stock setting. It was a pre-production unit though.

I like the yellow ones...
