What he said.

My buddy went to a Superbike school a while back & he gave me the pointers. I know U Fla peeps really don't have turns in ur roads But when U get to a place where there are some get on the ***** of ur feet & move ur *** to the side of the seat that ur turning into.

I swear U won't believe the difference

Lastly U can tell how someone rides by the wear pattern on their rear tire

AND ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN UR OWN ABILITIES - NEVER TRY & KEEP UP W/ SOMEONE ELSE. RIDE UR OWN RIDE.

Hey shake, now you know the answer to your original question of "why not do it all at once?"

So you have a rideable bike.

lol jackwagon...

btw, hint of advice for anybody:
if you're changing seals on your forks, when it comes time to reassemble the tubes together, and you find yourself reaching for a 3lb sledge hammer... just stop. you're doing it wrong.

ive got all the major parts done, just need to do electrical, lighting, passenger pegs and gauges. if i bust *** i might have it on the road friday night/ saturday morning

I did go to the 200, honestly it was kind of boring. After the first round of pit stops the leaders were all scattered around and it wasn't much of a race. Maybe better on TV where you can better judge positions/strategy etc.

I was in Daytona tuesday/wednesday and saturday/sunday. Out of the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of bikes I saw, I saw exactly ONE Superhawk :-)

Makes me happy actually, I like to have something rare/unique.

Oh, and I came home to 1 foot of snow in Montreal..... weather shock for sure....
