Helping my parents get their pair of neglected '79 trail 90's running to go up for sale also with my neglected 300 XC-W in the background. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

so much fun without breaking any laws.

I dunno, I can wheelie or take corners at above the speed limit just fine on a grom. Groms have quite limited lean angle though so you have to get goofy with the body positioning.

Yeah I got a new 2024 Grom SP (aka stickers)

Super fun bike, all my homies got them so we've got a little gang of us on groms lol.

Also going to be my transportation when camping and don't want to load up my truck with my camping shit. 225lbs wet. Was going to go used, but 5spd on the newer models was a big thing for me.. Plus it's so cheap.. I'm used to buying old turds, so this was a lil treat.

Not really mine, but temporarily mine. This was my bike for a few weeks in India, rode around the north.



and a Suzuki SV650S

Ha, well how about that. Your riding season starts, mine is ending. I am just waiting for it to be too damn hot again. Any day now. In the mean time I'm enjoying my ZRX and its new road 5 tires.

[Panici]

Just finished a fuel system refresh on the Monster today.
Also changed the front brake master cyl as the original was leaking.

Bike is buttoned up and ready for the riding season!

Blue tail section on the R6 now, and shortened the Termi muffler can. Was actually too quiet before!

Also...
This Ducati followed me home yesterday...

It's a 2000 Monster 900ie.

First year of fuel injection (still aircooled)
Needs some love, was dropped on one side. Tires are from 2006 and timing belts haven't been done in 13 years.
It sounds absolutely amazing with the aftermarket exhaust. Can't wait to get an open clutch cover on there for that classic Ducati dry clutch rattle.

Have to clean it up and take some better pictures with the SLR. Gold frame + Red bodywork is my favourite colour combo for these. This also has the headlight fairing and a belly pan, which makes the bike a little less naked.

Has been unseasonably cold here which means no riding. Supposed to have afternoon temps in the teens (~55F) later this week so I will ride into work (and bundle up in the morning).

Meanwhile I tackled the exhaust situation. Modified the two-brothers exhaust pipe for clearance with my foot/boot. And also swapped to a Termignoni muffler. Took forever cutting & grinding to get the muffler sitting just right.

What year is that ZRX? I love the retro paintjob!

It's a 2001, that's the Eddie Lawson tribute paint job.

This is making me miss riding. I don't have any recent photos of my ZRX

I took the '05 R6 for my first ride in four years yesterday.
It was near freezing outside and I'm quite rusty, so I just putted around a bit to shake down the bike.

Turns out I had a front brake issue and leaky coolant hose, so it was a good exercise.

This is making me miss riding. I don't have any recent photos of my ZRX but the only visible change since this one from the r3v motorcycle thread is the mirrors. I haven't ridden it in ages and it needs tires, they are cracking a bit. It's currently carbless since the fuel pipes between them were leaking. I have a complete o-ring kit to install but wanted to get my wagon on the road first. If I run into any more snags with the wagon I may fix the carbs and get it on the road. My commutes certainly take less time on the ZRX than in my E30.



I used to think I may buy a cheap track bike, probably one of the plentiful 600s that exist in FL, around this time in my life and get back on track. Unfortunately my local track is now closed, so the nearest one is 2 hours and some horrible traffic (Miami) away, not a pleasant ride in FL heat in my race leathers. Actually, it doesn't matter what I'm wearing, I don't like riding in or near Miami, that is a dangerous place to ride. I don't want to deal with finding a place to store a motorcycle trailer, so I really don't think I'll be hitting the track until I move and have somewhere to put a trailer. That means it's going to be a few more years.
