BTW just a heads up keep a close eye on your bike my friend just had his stolen right outside his place we bought ours at the same time. Guess there alot of them being stolen doesnt matter if its day or night

btw we need to get together for a group ride, I just got back from german town I think it was at the end of Cornelius pass. What a blast but when I hit the twistys it reminded me I had a seven year layoff and how rusty I am. But its coming back to me slowly but surely lol. Those roads in areas are a little bumpy and even saw and felt a little gravel glad I was just cruising though, I always take a bunch of passes so I know whats on the road and on the other side of the turns before I pick up the pace. Next time i'll hit it a little faster, but it feels good to be back in the saddle

Dam sorry to hear about the ticket and your friends bike that sucks. Thanks for the heads up guess i'll have to slap the laser back on my Glock j/k Ya im glad im still braking my bike in so no wheelies yet and its giving me time to get use to this bike. I've been just short shifting it because I only have about 120 miles on her . But MY R1 I had I couldnt stop doing wheelies because there so addictive. But im telling ya you really have to becarefull not just for cops but finding that balancing point or you can loop it really easy .

Third gear wheelies are the best because there smoother and not as jeky and easy to balance, 2nd gear ones are cool to though because you dont have to do 70mph ones. 1ST gear is were you have to be really careful.

Yes they are very addicting!!!!! For some reason I can only get it to pop up in 1st gear using the throttle method around 50-60mph. I am a little weary to try the clutch method! I have heard doing a gear swap on the front gear to get more out of it but im thinking first would become a very very short gear and not sure if its worth it....
