The duck will be a bloody sacrifice, it's life force given to the gods of GSXR to keep the Suzuki running and find those missing 15 horse power

Daily, but she does her own valves ;)

For those interested, she's a rare breed developed in the US called a Cayuga.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Unfortunately the conversion from duck power to horse power isn't favorable.

just like the motorcycles

It's the only appropriate name for a duck. :buddy:

That's what my wife is for. With our powers combined we can become "CAPI" and post lots of drivel on the internet.

Also ducks live 15-20 years, so I'm kinda curious how the duck in that video died so young.

I've seen this one it's very cute. That's a Chinese Crested Duck.

And as for taste, I don't like rabbit or duck so my pets are not in danger of being eaten. This is why I can't have a pet pig.

Alright, time to bring this back up.

Obligatory Desmo shot:


My friend has been busy detailing my $500 bike. Part of our sponsorship agreement is that he takes on little projects like this to support my racing.

And...here's what a bike I am a total of 700$ into looks like:




I should have a GSX-R breakdown GIF shortly too...it's been fun but now it's time for something new.

Nah, he just does it out of an interest in cleaning up bikes. I've always cared more about mechanicals, he's always taken care of the cosmetics. That's why he did the paint job on my GSX-R, etc.

I haven't seen it in person yet, but at this point I figure it's probably about a 2k bike. So figure about $1000 after it's all said and done. This is an exceptional deal though, and I still need to take care of bleeding brakes, it might need fresh pads, and replace the clutch, so that's going to cut in a bit more. I sold the last 94 F2 I had for $1400, and it was in much rougher cosmetic condition.

It was a good one. But a new bike will come, another chance to design a new color scheme, a new host of setup problems to learn from...it should be fun! In the meantime, projects!
