It was a redneck in a pickup truck, I'll admit we were riding a little spiritedly. I'm sure he saw us coming up behind him and when we went to pass I could see the smoke pouring out his exhaust as he floored it, then when he saw he couldn't outrun us he swerved into the other lane to block us. I had to hit the brakes to avoid hitting him. My buddy did get around the truck and then he tail gated him getting really close. I backed way off in case he decided to slam on the brakes. After a few miles of this craziness the truck turned onto another street and it was over. I'm just glad it didn't end with someone getting hurt, I still don't know what he was trying to prove.

Throttlemeister
Installed the throttlemeister bar ends today, did a short ride and the cruise control works great.

V nice. Hearing that anyone's getting out is great, it's like Siberia up this way so serious moto withdrawal has set in...

I just verified my VIN number is part of the ECU recall to solve the stalling problem. It only happed once to me, but I'll get my ECU remapped anyway.

I fitted a Radiator and Oil Cooler guard
For piece of mind, as some of our roads are littered with loose stones

Don't you guys have the death penalty for something like that?

I removed the ugly emissions canister and extended & re-routed the fuel overflow line down and out through the side of the bash plate. It looks much cleaner and besides - there's not much riding going on at -6 degrees F.
