With the iPad, I can zoom in quickly and it looks like he has the lock nut tightened down with a jam nut tightened on top of that. Sure not going anywhere haha

Rode it to a double funeral yesterday. My buddy and his wife hit a farm truck head-on with their R1 at triple digit speed and were summarily killed. The farmer was ok.
They leave behind some orphans.

Finally got around to actually installing the F4 shock Jamie supplied to me last December!

Glock, respect and condolences for the loss of your friends.

Mounted up a fresh front doughnut. Used the zip tie method for the first time and it worked great! Now it's time for a ride.

Thank you Tbonenast, installed the two brothers carbon fiber, loud as hell, but love the exhaust note... In the mood to disturb the neighbors for a change.

Thank you all.
A fifty yr old, well heeled rider on a very capable machine made a judgment error that cost him and his wife their lives.
His wife was a very willing participant in the whole thing and was not put off by the speed at all.
He and her and I rode many miles together at speed and they would pass me two-up while I was giving the SuperHawk all she got.
After 9 deaths in our circle in the last 15mos nobody wants to ride fast anymore. I have chicken strips again because I'm getting gun-shy and haven't forgotten the deer I smacked.




Rant over. Let's ride and be safe. See ya in the funny pages.
