1k update

[Cobraman]

just starting a thread to start a thread. Tired of lookih through 16 pages of old threads to find stuff to look at in here. Lol

Finally rolled over 1k on the bike (06 gsxr 600) and I have to say I'm loving every minute of it. Its got a brand new pair of shinko advance tires now too (here come the chicken strips) Looking at doing some motivation bar ends , r1 throttle tube, and two bros slip on. It's still leaking a little oil, but ill eventually take care of that. Starting to work on some first gear clutch ups now too. Little by little. Starting up a riding group at UNT this week too, so hopefully I'll have some peeps to start riding with.

Just an update.

Keep in mind that 1st is going to be really twitchy. I used to do 2nd hear standups right foot on the brake and left in the passenger peg. Much easier to learn that way for me

What is your plan when you wreck?

What is your plan when you wreck?

I'm pretty careful. Only pulling wheelies that are about 1ft-2ft off the ground and then setting them down. Other than that I'm a really cautious rider. If I do lay it down from wheelie-ing, which I guess is what you are implying, Then I'll break some plastics. Big deal, I'll get it fixed. It needs new plastic anyway. I have full coverage on the bike as well.

You may want to think about yourself when you crash, not just the bike....

I can agree. I'm always wearing gear.

Lots of people die everyday that have full gear on, even the professionals. Don't let that shit make you think you are invincible.

I invite you to come by my shop anytime and i will show you what happens when all of the oil gets swung away from the oil pickup....

Squid. I'm just saying have some life insurance and short term disability set up. And I assume you have health insurance? That's amusing that you think wrecking is no big deal.

Lol. when did I say wrecking wasn't a big deal. All insurance is through the parents as I'm 18 and a college student. I'm covered.

Very few people will get to the point of that becoming a problem. If he got serious about it they make aftermarket pickups for those bikes. Most lot guys with those bikes run 1/2 qt over and don't have problems.

Yeah nothing like a guy putting a shiny new engine in his mini sprint and then realizing a little to late the pick up was on the wrong side. Kaboom.
