Just ran it down the road for a minute (in total squid style).  No vibration at 110, so I got a good balance on the tires.  I didn't get to take any good turns yet.  That will come tomorrow.  

I can tell the difference in the tire height.  I am now on my tippy toes.

Think you will be impressed on how quick it will turn in now.

Though I can't argue with results. Not the best pearl job I've seen but my first and I'm pretty pleased. 

Tri-coats, pearls, and candies can be a real pain sometimes. Looks like it turned out great.

Thanks. Took advantage of the cool weather after the storms and worked on it till the wee hours of the morning. Figured I wouldn't be getting up for the ride since it was cancelled. Turns out there's plenty of guys still heading out so I'm gonna have to shake out the cob webs and get moving.

What did I do to my bike today? I rode the wheels off that mother fucker. That's what I did to my bike today. :) 

I came here to say essentially the same thing.

A little project I tried with my Harbor Freight lift table. Wheeling a Vfr or A VStrom or my Super Hawk up onto table is pretty easy. You can also put the kickstand down without issue. Bigger bikes that you need to ride up onto the table is another story. Not enough room to put your feet down and if you center the bike the kickstand is useless. It is scary. I had these ramps in the rafters and decided put them to use. Made some bracketed and they just slide into place and are easily removed. Work pretty well.

So the epic ride made me re-evaluate my current bike choice so I'm now in negotiations for the below sexy beast. Friday hopefully the rubber hits the road and I'll let you all know how it went. 2012 ZX6R, 4400 miles.

Yeah I think this is what the doctor ordered along with a more regular dose of the Ohio twisties.

I think we live near each other. I'm always up for quick runs to Hocking.

Yeah no doubt, now that I'm in Columbus that's what a 30 minute ride down 33 to Nelsonville?

I'm in Pickerington. It's about 35 minutes to 33/374 where I normally start my loop.
