What did you do to your bike today?

[alaskanflyboy]

Took an end-of-the-day-stress-buster-make-life-good-again ride.

I've made a few of those. Amazing how well it works.

What did I do for my bike today? I bought it!! WooHoo!! 2009 FZ6R with 1,433 original miles on it. It's spent most of it's life in climate controlled storage. It's one of the fast yellow ones, too! I feel pretty good about it. Then I immediately put a couple hundred miles on it. It's a beautiful thing.

Welcome to the club. Though we all know blue is the fastest, hence why it's Team Yamaha Blue. May the love affair be long lasting.

Yup, somebody needs to talk to them about that. Yellow is obviously hotter (and therefore faster) in the IR spectrum. Blue=cold. Yellow=HOT. Hot=faster. It's simple physics!

Cleaned and tested my oil cooler. Found the weep to be in the inlet pipe where the last owner tweaked the pipe when putting on the oil line and did damage to the solder joint. Was hoping it was the oil line.
Ordered another one off eBay to replace it.....drat!

Adjusted the rebound dampening on the rear shock and got rid of the hop....


YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

made sure she is all set to ride in 20-40 degree weather. I'm not ready for it, but with gas at 3.75...

my bike gets about 33 mpg, and my truck gets around 15. i can shiver a bit for the 10 mile drive.

Yeah I'm debating on buying myself a second bike, so that I can have it for riding in the winter/rain. I'm not taking my daytona out in the salt.

My trucks LS2 guzzles gas hard though and premium gas is at 4.05 here Which is not a huge deal considering I don't drive far to work, but still yet a 100$ fill up sucks

i hear ya, If we would of had snow/salt on the roads this winter, I wouldn't even be considering it. I think they put salt down 2-3 times, and we have had plenty of rain since then to wash it off.

It's the same way here, but sadly all the salts not gone just yet. It's pouring out right now though so most of it'll be gone now, but it's suppose to snow tomorrow. Which sucks. They haven't salted much, but the times they have salted they DUMP it.

 

[FZ6R_Blue]

replaced the frame sliders last night in a unheated garage.... can't do any riding here SALT & Sand all over and it "snowed" again last night and its been rainy to so icy as well

I paid $415.9 a gallon yesterday to fill my Tacoma that gets CRAP mileage. I need to do a 60 mile loop today to exchange some single beam HID lights for hi/lo ones and a harness so I'll do that on the bike. I need to break in the new Dunlops. I have to fill up my tank to do it as I've only got about 40 miles of gas left in the tank. I also get 33 miles to the gallon on the bike with street driving only and making a 4.5 mile commute each way to work. I'm wondering what my freeway mileage will be? I use Shell Premium in the bike so I expect $4.55 to 4.65 a gallon to fill it today.

You paid $415 dollars for a gallon!? Bloody hell and I thought uk prices were bad.

Going to finish my front facing led turn signals, protons dont cut it for me.

Installed my Pilot Road 3's today. I like them

 

[MiltonDorkenhoff]

Rode to work (this whole "summer in February" thing is awesome)..

• Got stuck at a light that wouldn't change (the first of two
• Nice ride on the freeway - had the commuter (HOV) lane to myself
• Rode through the smoke from a minivan that had caught on fire - felt kind of like Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder - steer into the smoke (I didn't)
• Went past a coffee place that was burning their toast
• Got gas - $4.25/gallon - holy crap.. Gonna have to switch to my car if this keeps up
• Gorgeous ride through twisties up the side of a (small) mountain..

Fridays are awesome.

Stared at my bike inside the shed dying to get on it.

 

[daddyrack]

hmm my 12volt outlet came in today along with my Bridgestones! gota go install them soon, thank god for a grandfather with a tire machine! (and tires at dealer cost)

 

[MNGreg]

Took her out on some nice twisties near my new house going towards wifes grandparents house, tires getting the pavement beautifully. This was the best ride I have been on since I got her.

Then I woke up and realized it was a dream. Instead I went into the garage and looked longingly at her, so badly wanting to put the key in and go for a ride...

Then I opened the garage door to a cold blast of wind and about an inch of new snow and drift to shovel.

Dream was definitely shattered.

Haven't done anything yet since I'm at work but she'll get a full bath, polish, chain lube and slack check ready for some canyon carving in the morning.
