The boy was itching to do some upgrades to his 6RR. Chain and sprockets were on the menu. He went with a -1/+2 configuration because looking for 7th gear is fun I guess. Anyway, it’s all buttoned up now. Just need the snow to melt. :/

Scroll down on my feed and you see I have a bit a history with the TL1000 (owning 3 at one time!)

Much more effective and predicable braking over the 6-pot Tokicos they replaced. I kept the original master in place.

That’s how I ended up with this on my ZX7R.

Work on enough bikes and you’ll realize more manufactures used them than they should have :/

Rolled out of bed early this morning to hit Virginia Beach Bikes and Breakfast. Temp was not too bad and it ended up being quite a nice turn out. The 1986 VF1000R was awesome to see.

Kawasaki ZX7R - After an incident it’s being rebuilt for track duty.
Indian FTR1200 - Taking care of everyday hooligan duties.
Ducati PS1000LE - Because owning a collection piece is a thing I guess.

Yamaha has a habit of not sending us their cooler bikes. The XJR1300 was the first I remember. Then the MT-01 and now the XSR900GP… we get the 900, just not the GP version.

I wish that bike made it to the States. Would love to throw a leg over one.

Went through that with my Golden. Not fun times but you’ll (and they’ll) get through it. :)

I had the smaller V45 (750cc) of that generation Magna. It’s what my father taught me how to ride on and then handed down to me. Good memories on that bike. :)

A few years back when my son expressed interest in riding I ‘obtained’ a 2003 #Suzuki #SV650. Like a lot of SV’s that age it needed a lot of love. It was an insightful project with my biggest takeaway being that a new cable clutch line needs to be lubricated before being installed. O.o

My son wanted to ‘get to know’ his #Kawasaki #ZX6RR a little better so we stripped it down, checked the air filter, cleaned it up and installed new brake lines (F+R). Still no work done to my #ZX7R lol

Just a few hours... It’s the New Zealand Embassy in Washington DC. My old man was working there before he retired. I just went to see him for lunch. So yeah, not the adventurous story you were hoping for. lol

Going through some old pics remembering that time I rode my #Ducati 1199 all the way to New Zealand. ;)

No so long ago I was driving through a posh neighborhood with my son and he said this is where he found the rug. I told him to keep an eye out for others after that. lol
