What did you do to your bike today?

[Maadi]

Took my decompression route home and was riding along, behind a bicyclist, coming up to the curvy area. Then about 5 bicyclists popped up around the bend going the other way. Instead of passing the one on my side (he was behind the shoulder line, I had plenty of space), I decided to sit back and wait... Good decision, a pick up truck driver decided that a blind corner is an EXCELLENT spot to pass 5 bicycles by straddling the 2 yellow lines... If I had gone to pass, I would have been right there... It's good to have that 6th sense, isn't it!

I'm a cyclist (see my name <---) and I concur - some people pick the worst times to pass. It's astounding to me how many people have a deathwish.

900 miles in 60 days...and it rained!!

 

[Ricenoodle]

installed reflective wheel stripes from cgd graphics on eBay, quality product. size is 3/8 or 9mm, Highly recommend using 2 pumps of dish soap mixed with water in a spray bottle. clean rim with rubbing alcohol, spray soapy solution, apply stripes, align all you want so it's perfect, squeeze out underside with finger then napkin, so easy, took 1 hour because I took my sweet time for all 4 sides.

That's the best pic of wheel stripes in action I've seen. Quite nice!

I've wanted to get some, but I have the gold rims...no color will look right at all!

I'm right with you. By the time I get home tonight, I'll have 210 miles on it, and I'm still weirded out by the 6k revs. Definitely an adjustment.

6K and I'm down shifting lol. I'm actually the opposite, even in the 350Z. I want the car to keep pulling when I feel it start to taper off.

I'm thinking about it but California has a new exhaust law.

Just keep your stock exhaust and if you get s BS fix it ticket, you swap em, get it written off, and go right back. Besides, it's RARE to have a cop nail you for exhaust unless you're being a DB and revving it up intentionally to cause a scene. I got pinched for passing on a double yellow, basic speed law, and excessive display of speed, all at once. And he didn't say one thing about mine. And believe me, my exhaust is louder than any TBR shod bike out there. It's obnoxious lol.

I'm a mountain biker, I've raced BMX bikes, I'll ride dirt bikes, I'll ride super moto, I'll ride "spiritedly" as we like to say on the street on my 6R and do track days, you might say I'm a little bit of a thrill seeker and my favorite thing to do is be on 2 wheels. But one thing you'll NEVER see me do is ride a road bike on the street. To me, it's the most dangerous thing you can do on 2 wheels. Not to mention, Roadies seem to be some of the DUMBEST people on the face of this earth. (obviously not all roadies are, but in my experience, the vast majority of them are) If I'm going to be on the street, I need more power than my two legs to get me out of tight situations.

So... I finished my cleaning and maintenance project tonight that I mentioned the other day. Oil change, coolant check (was actually a bit high) K&N filter cleaning and oiling, cleaning bugs out of the radiator and "air vents" new grips, full wash, polish, and generally getting her ready for a nice swift jaunt through my favorite canyon roads tomorrow morning.

Broke 2500 miles on my girl. Crazy... feels like I got her last month!

I too have the gytr carbon fiber exhaust and pcv with auto tune it sounds awesome and runs very nice. I'm still working on the map. but I like auto tune keeping a/f at optimum.

Installed a saddlemen seat and a matching pillion seat cover on my 675.
Rain, rain, go away....

Almost looks lit up, probably flash reflecting off.

Still haven't gotten around to taking off the stickers on her. I think I'll do that tonight when I get back from work around 8. Just going to need some goof off or rubbing alcohol for the residue.

 

[Scott_Thomas]

Got my Venom Motorsports Spool stand. Now I can clean and lube my chain properly.

 

[tatty2012]

Went to the car wash and gave her a soapy bath, cleaning and living chain as we speak!

 

[JonKerr]

Perfect morning for a ride. Not a cloud in the sky, perfect temp, a little more traffic than I prefer, but that's what happens with perfect weather, the Sunday drivers come out a day early.

 

[tatty2012]

Just got back from a little car meet here in Redmond and meet a 21 year old kid with a blue '09 6R. He just got it a few months ago, told him to look up the forum for some ideas!

Care to give an opinion on the nexx?

I re-covered by back seat first in red leather. Looks great. I will post pics later

Yesterday was a tank pad, new vanity plate, and about 120 miles.
