Sorry, i just rode 600 miles yesterday in about 8 hours. had to collect my sanity last night.



Updates will be arriving shortly, i'll have pics of the bike post crash (Rae, can you send me some of yours? you've got my e-mail)

and up through the work i've done so far.


So far its all good, i can salvage most of my fairings, the only ones i think i'll need are the nose piece, a small support piece, and the lower right piece.

mechanically the bike is flawless. I found the spot where the coolant is leaking, and im not sure why its leaking there, its just some useless looking little nub. easy fix, and no structural damage to the reservoir. i may have to bend a mounting point for a fairing, but im not sure yet. A little plastic expoxy on a couple small cracks (like 1-5 mm) and these fairings should be ready to go.

Thinking im going to re-paint everything white/black , grey/white , or grey black... haven't made up my mind, have to get ducks in a row first.

i'll have an update around noon, i have a major case of poison ivy from our river experience... so its time to go take a shower and apply calamine lotions.

pics are on the way...as well as parts when i get your addy...

poison ivy enh? Poor thing, I'm sorry, I wonder where it came from??

Makes that idea even worse in hindsight, but still worth the adventure and bruises I think...

definatly came from the hill me and nick went down to get to the river... i called him and asked if he had the same problem. so far, no... but he said he never had it before. its hard to diagnose if you've never had it, at first it just feels like a bunch of mosquito bites.

i'll pm you my addy.
