Finally got around to putting the DME exhaust hanger on. It came out great.

Just received the parcel from Italy to switch from my Yoshis R77. Anyone running those duals here? Mivv Speed Edge slip-ons, not really known in US but quite reputable brand in Europe. Titanium, road legal with removable db killers and from my POV - best looking carbon shields/covers out there. Will be installing soon.

So I finally got my Gen III out for a ride after she's been stored in my shed since November. We had a really cold winter and it took a long time for spring to arrive but spring is here so I was able to get my Gen III out for a few hours. You know you love riding when you ride a 140 miles round trip to pay a bill you could have paid online in 60 seconds :-) I paid my bill, stopped for lunch, took the scenic route home, stopped for ice cream a O Wow Cow, stopped by Nockamixon State Park for the obligatory photo op and came home. It was great to get out on two wheels for 5 hours and enjoy God's awesome creation on two wheels. Thank you Jesus

I think I’ve said it before but this has to be one of the best color schemes on the gen3!!!

I know you are not getting any younger so, when are you going to get a “real” tire changer like the NoMar to protect your back? I’m sure it would pay for itself in no time, specially if you can find a second hand one.

Thanks........I really love the dark silver with red accents which is part of what drew me to the Gen III, I also liked the black with gold accents but I don't think they offered that paint for 2023.

Yeah, I'd agree, I'm getting to that age (53) where I just to allocate $1000 or so for a very good one.

I bought the $800 raboconda about a year ago and didn't like it and sold it.

Next, your gonna tell me I need to buy a lift table.

Was gonna get my busa in 22 but when I saw the dark grey of the 23 coming out I waited another year

Well, I’ve seen used NoMars for $500 or so. As for the lift table, I want one myself but not enough space in the garage.

You made the right decision :-)

A few things I got done last night on my '24 machine:

Ohlin's steering damper. This is a straight forward OEM replacement. No hassle install, other than it was a bit of a pain getting my hands in there to turn the bolts. But then again, it always is on this bike. Nothing easy to get to it seems.

Removed the stock mirrors and added a pair of bar end mirrors.

Bought some CF mirror block off plates from Brock's to fill in the void left from the stock mirrors.
