The best mod for the bike is the rider and I want to be ready.
It's a dream come true after 25 years of dreaming of the day I'd be on a legit race track and playing Rossi on the tarmac.

I'll have to check that place out once the latest move is finished....going to be in Bella Vista, Ar in the next 6 months or so....... might be nice to see how the extra HP does on the track :thumbup:

You'll love it.
They have the countries largest karting course, have legit drifting events, and a full course track for bike and car track days.
If timing works right I may do some karting there next time I'm in.
Then I can bug the instructors about some track lessons and more rider training. :lol:

Let me know when you go there and I'll see if my time schedule will work to be there. :thumbup:

Actually went an picked it up yesterday. Spent the evening at Fabio's getting CTCs in. Thanks for that!

Have to say I am quite impressed. Excellent value for money at dead on £1000.

Just need to get some bars and go from there. Although dreading hurting the fairing as its in excellent condition.

Nah I was stationary...Any faster & I break bones not just the bike... :lol:

Just a scuffed knee ? If it is just get ya mum to dab it with a spit n hankie combo & jobs a good 'un...

If it's just the bar end scuffed, file it smooth & paint it black until you can find a replacement...

Custurds bar ends are on their 3rd file n paint now... :lol: :lol:

Glad it was nothing serious to say the least. :thumbup:

Well it's not something I did directly on the bike but it's something I did for the bike so I can enjoy that occasional track day when I've got her finished. :biggrin

It's also color matched to the yellow/ red theme I'm doing on the bike. :Woohoo: :Woohoo1:
