I mistakenly posted my other pic in the chat thread, so here is babbys_first_choke_operation.jpg on my new bike



There were several stalls in between each picture.

I got this a week ago. It's the first thing with a motor and two wheels I've ever owned, unless you count one half of a camry. It's a 2009.

:stare: drat. I got my bike with the original stock tires (none too good even when brand new) still on it. They were from 03 and they were dry rotted as all hell, and there was a huuuuge crack in the sidewall directly under the DOT date on the front one. The PO was still riding it in the twisties. "Don't lean over too far and you'll be fine!" he said.

I volunteer at a bicycle co-op. We have kids buy a new tube+tire, and come back like three days later with it worn through the cords and the tube popped in like three places. It's pretty awesome.

I've had my 250 for over 4 years, probably going on 5 or 6 years now that I think about it. I just don't care about power because I'm a poor university student. I fully expect this to change when I'm earning megabucks.

Also turns out they never made a gsxr 600/750/1k front fender in the color of my SV, so that's a little annoying.

Yeah, especially up on the hills. I never took the ninja up grizzly peak because there were enormous 4" deep potholes all over that road. Partially the earthquakes, partially because they let those roads go like 10 years before resurfacing.

All the parts of PCH I've been on have been buttery smooth though!

Just picked up my KTM RC390 today. So so tiny, narrow and light. It's really fun chucking it around corners at legal speeds.

I still have my MV but I think I'll be on the KTM more on a day to day basis.

fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
