Went out to the east coast, about 175 smiles all alone today and man was it nice! Got to do some “gixxer bruh hijinks” today and pops and bangs were on order from time to time… and then got some sprinkles that dropped the degrees by about 10 and was completely dry before I got to my destination and dry before getting back home.

Hi. My daughter and I went for a ride in MA, RI and CT. For 7 hrs. We stoped st the stables to feed some horses.
Good to see you getting out.
Did you know that you can flip those Gsxr mirror stalks?
Yes, they will sit a little lower, almost level (which I like the look of, but a personal preference).
But...they will sit out a little further/wider, and you'll be able to see a little more past your shoulders, a better view of what's behind.
I have set those Gsxr mirrors on several Gsxr's and Busa's, and it makes a difference.
Maybe I'll give that a shot....never thought of that....thanks.....
Found Oregon 242 last winter while playing with maps. Open in the summer, there is an "observatory" at the +/- 5,500 summit that gives 360* views of the surrounding mountains. From there I rode 126 north to 20 west. A terrific twisty route through the woods and back to sea level. A terrific day.

The new ones look so much nicer than the previous model....From Sunday . Took a few tries to figure out the RS wheelie . Traction control off in Road mode still limits lift off . In Dynamic Pro no lift off control
Julian is the film guy on the Red/White/Blue RS
.......and if you had 150 lbs in that top box, the front tire would be in the air all the time....
I took the old hot rod for a ride to look at some fall colors. On the way home I got caught in a downpour, which turned into large hail. At speed on the Interstate, those hail stones hurt. I have red welts on my arms, even though I was wearing a heavy leather jacket. Fortunately the bike and my helmet seem to be unscathed.
Those colors are great! Hail can be very dangerous, like riding on marbles. Nice Gen 1 but, are those reflectors I see?

The idea is to appear as stock as possible. A bit of a sleeper. Just ignore the Akrapovic full Ti Evolution exhaust system.
Nobody would suspect it's over 1600cc's.
I got out for a little ride this afternoon.....
While on my way back I picked up some sort of noisy tuner car (Honda) and the driver found an opening and whipped around me and almost cutting me off pulling back in...I was rolling along at around 80kms/hr (50mph) and minding my own business enjoying the day...
It turns out this thing was at the same gas station I was going to and when I pulled in the young fellow came over right away...he looked over the bike and said he heard these bikes were fast....I told him that's not a lie, they are...he said he was surprised he was able to get around me so easily.
I told him I was just out enjoying the day and didn't feel like blowing him off the road....he said it wouldn't be as easy as I think......I said "maybe not", laughed, filled my tank and continued on my way...
The guy obviously doesn't know much about what a performance bike can do in the right hands.
I got home and 3 neighbor kids were waiting for me to get back so I could fix their bicycles as it's a PA day today for them....
