I got an LED tail light (cheapO eBay) mounted up and a front fender figured out. Went for a ride on Sunday and realized that my front fender was a little too high because when I got home there was a big dent from the headlight smacking it! So I took it off, pounded the dent out, dropped it down about an inch and repainted it. I'm going for another ride this afternoon so hopefully it's good now.

There was an article in Sport Rider years ago about a sleeper Katana that had a GSXR1100 engine bolted in, I think the tag line was "Body of a Smurf, heart of the Terminator". Would probably make a nice all around bike by today's standards... |

It has plenty of power for the highway and will get you up to 85 pretty quickly but not so much power that you end up on one wheel at the twist of the throttle. The gearing could be improved. 6th gear and 5th gear are so similar that they should have left it a 5 speed instead of a 6. I kept trying to find one more gear when I was in 6th. |

Rally Raid is coming out with a "dirt" kit for the CB500X and if I get one I will likely outfit it that way. So it will be more of a dual sport use, so crazy power isn't a priority. Smooth reliability is. |

Saw a Husky motard at the gun shop and stopped by to check it out.
Track Day at Barber. My buddy was running his big bike so I brought my Grom to keep his company. Pretty cool experience, sign a waiver, no fee, go anywhere in the place except for the control box. Get to see fast bikes and hang in the pits free.

took her on an 87 mile ride through the foothills on Sunday (only up to 7,500 feet though) and she ran great. All of that annoying carb work finally paid off.

I have been a fan for a looong time, I love the brand and think just about everything they have ever done is cool ( there have been some dogs, but very few) Monsters are cool, not a cruiser, not a standard, not a sport bike. They handle great and are nice to ride. They make great commuters and general hooligan bikes. Wouldn't be my first choice to tour on, but I know plenty who have set them up to tour and done significant miles on. Test ride different models, some people hate monsters |

Nice. That was my first time being at Barber that we weren't bussed in because of no parking. Have been to a few Indy and GT races but we were always hoofing it with a cooler. It was pretty neat to ride the bike through the gates. They don't keep info about track days on their site because it is hosted privately by Super Bike Track Time. I had to ask some buddies that went up there often what the rundown was. |

Back on two wheels after a short absence....new (to me) '09 DL650 nicely sorted out by the previous owner who broke it in, put accessories on it, was nice enough to eat the depreciation, then sold it to me.
 And, now I set about riding the fuck out of it...starting with the Romney Strom Rally in May. |

1991 Goldwing just sold a few months back. Many great adventures on the ride. 
2000 Vulcan 750 
1995 Shadow 600. Wifes ride. 
Wifes starter ride 
VStar 650 with custom paint by me 
My little bike rally party machine. Hurts less to crash after a night of heavy drinking 
Latest purchase and a work now in progress. 2011 SuperGlide

I rode a 2012 (that ugly blue color) for about an hour. I liked it but I still prefer my ZX10R over the BMW. The way that the headlights are shaped (looks like  just killed it for me.

 Thanks. Its my favorite color too. It should be good company for the white Speed Triple. The 1050 triple is just a fantastic engine. The CBR1100XX is a great bike but I really wanted more comfort on the long hauls but didn't want to spend a small fortune to do it. I still haven't gotten it out on the highway yet. Its about to make me nuts.

The CBR1100XX is a great bike but I really wanted more comfort on the long hauls but didn't want to spend a small fortune to do it. I still haven't gotten it out on the highway yet. Its about to make me nuts.Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Blackbird_Pilot: Originally Posted By swingset: Originally Posted By Blackbird_Pilot: The latest addition: http://www.ozarxx.org/images/Tiger01.jpg 2007 Triumph Tiger with 2100 miles.

That's just broken in. What a great bike, too, just a perfect do-all tourer. I bought a nice DL650 and I'm not sorry, I'll ride the piss out of it, but I have a thing for the triple and you even got the color I wanted. Hate you. Thanks. Its my favorite color too. It should be good company for the white Speed Triple. The 1050 triple is just a fantastic engine.

There's a copper Tiger here locally that a guy is trying to sell - set up just perfect, suspension mods, Akro's, Sargent Seat, color matched GIVI panniers, touring windshield, and a nice dash/accessory set up, just ideal for touring but he's not coming off his price (yet). It's been for sale for about 6 months, and I dropped a couple offers. I'm hoping after a while he'll get the hint he's wanting too much and I'll snap it up. My WeeStrom is getting adventurized right now, and it'll make a great backroad bike, but for the pavement I want all that triple oomph, and I have always loved the looks of the Tiger. |

Good luck with the purchase. I wanted to get one with some goodies on it but they were a bit higher than I wanted to go and when I found this one with 2k miles on it...done. |

How did you like it and did you attend the one or two day class? Is it worth the $? I have been thinking about signing up for the class this year. Thanks |
