Saturday evening I spooned on a new Pirelli rear. We love the feel of the new rubber.

I drilled one end of my bars out to fit a bar-end. Ran out of battery before doing the other one...

(yesterday) I took mine for a short ride (76km) and a quick but exhillarating burst up to 240km/h .. whoooo .. next year, 260 maybe? If the bike is even capable, though considering how fast it went to 240 .. (this is all per speedo b.t.w.)

Well, today I'll chase a couple electrical gremlins on the ER-5. The stoplight is not turning on when I apply the front brake, and from time to time the fuel meter doesn't work.

I haven't done anything for mine lately. The last day I rode was in the rain and I came home & put it away like it was and haven't done a thing to it. Bike abuse.

I do the same thing simply because I just don't have the time to devote to her (not washing/pampering her)
