Got the B bike torn apart. Needs the suspension refreshed, exup removed and a dyno tune. The R1 got some new front suspension over the winter and a big front geometry change. Needed to get longer brake lines due to raising the front end. Other than that, some Evoltech rear sets and a shock refresh and its good to go. 1 more month until Jennings!!!! Maybe havent gotten everything done in one day but working on it bit by bit.

If he's going to 2016 he'll need a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts! Oh, and ... "Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads."

I am adapting a simplier lifestyle for the time being. This Yammie makes about 95 hp at the crank. The Multistrada made 95 and the Supersport made 80. Not much of a downgrade, really. Power will just be above 8k rpm, instead of on the floor. The valve service intervals are 26k miles, versus 6k. No body work. No expanding fuel tanks. No broken mirrors every other ride. No timing belts. No nonsense. Just a middleweight carver with rock-solid reliability. Four-pot monoblock calipers tied to braided hoses are strong enough for street duty. I don't brake that often, anyway. A quick handlebar swap will get me close to Multi ergos, too. I like that riding position and want to get near there. I don't need more engine to go fast. I do need suspension, though. I already have that sorted and budgeted. It will be fast enough when I am finished with the build. The Multistrada has a $1700 shock and $2500 forks. The ST has the same shock, albeit less travel, and fully adjustable Showa forks. The FZ6 comes with non-adjustable suspension, save for rear preload. The forks have zero clickers annywhere. Its suspension is garbage for anything more than mild street riding. That 2008 Multistrada is the best handling street bike I have ever ridden. @dpgasser can vouch for its handling prowess. I am hoping to get the FZ6 close enough to that to keep me entertained.

Ew, Gross. Because it is "new" to me. You fucking asshole. You win a date with me. No guac upgrade, though.

@Bad324 has been slapped with a 24 hour posting restriction for non-compliance.

Skidmark. I mostly paid so Isaac could get a tatse. I am hoping he catches the bug. We tore into the Duc today and had a good time. He likes it up there and even started scouring CL for bikes he can afford.

Ducati is gone. So long, shitbox.
