Zuke-O-Rama



It's been a motorcycle extravaganza lately. Where to start............



I picked up the GSXR on Thursday. When I was riding it home, well I was so frickin scared. The bike would just not turn. It was like I was making zig zag movements to get through a turn. When I braked it was all wobbly, so then I was scared to pick up any speed incase I had to stop fast. Oh and the undertail exhaust....it was so hot!! I kept feeling my butt at the stop lights to see if I was on fire LOL


So the GSXR was tucked away in mom's garage until I could get her to Stan's house for a little work. Then came Friday! This kid in my english class wanted some assistance changing the gauge lights on his TLR. So I ended up rolling his bike into my living room and pulling an all nighter getting it all together again. That bike was filthy! I don't even want to get into how disgusting the chain was.


Ok, so Friday rolled right into Saturday and I was sooooooo tired. I rode the GSXR over to Stan's house around noon. We started by pulling off the tail and ripping out the undertail exhaust. When we got a good look in there, we found such a mess. Just check this out:
Any ways, Stan's roommate Josh fixed all the electrical, he was a big help with the whole project. The stock exhaust that had been passed on from previous owners we found to be crap. The guy who installed the undertail kit chopped the shit out of the stock pipe. I had to pick up another stock pipe from a guy who I had bought some little stuffs from earlier in the day. Stan let me go take a nap while he and Josh continued to install the full stock exhaust system. When I woke upa nd came back down stairs they had everything put back together and she was looking gorgeous!! Stan had taken the bike for a little spin and experienced what I had told him about how the bike rode. They were thinking about all the possible problems, but eventually figured out that the front tire was at 13 psi, and the rear at 13.5 psi!!! Isn't that crazy?
A dumb fuck asked me why I didn't check the pressure before taking it home from the seller's house........
After we ate a little pizza and watched part of a weird ass movie, I took the bike home. This was the bestest, most funnest ride I have been on in a looooooong time!!! She is so fast, so smooth, did I mention she was fast???
I LOVE THAT BIKE!too bad it's not really mine :(


Aight, that rolls us into Sunday now. Went with mom to the commissary and then did some parking lot cone practice with the Hot Cop and Bryan. I gotta say I wasn't comfortable doing it cause I felt all super self conscious, especially since I barely had 20 miles on the GSXR, but I realized that it was fun and that I did learn a bunch. I think I might go get myself some cones and do that more often......After cone practice, I went over to moms and helped her with her nursing homework.



This finally brings us to Monday. Started out the day going to the gym with mom. It was a good workout! I need to find time to do it more often, I miss it. For lunch we went to Bennihana's. Delicious! When lunch was over I headed up to Motostrano to pick up the new exhaust I bought for the SV. I got a Yosh RS-3, same as what I had on my last SV. It sounded great so why change the formula?



Trying to install the Yosh, well that was epic fail. I though it would be easy peasy, but alas it was not. I got rather pissy and left it alone after that. Today (Wednesday) I had Shawn (elskipador) come over and put it on properly for me. She looks and sounds amazing!! I'm such a whore, in love with two different bikes LOL



Well, thats been my week of all things moto related. Oh, btw, I took the GSXR up to 130 on tuesday. She took it like it was nothing. I ran out of road other wise we coulda gone way higher. :D

2009

The first 5 hours were awesome.
The next 16 were good.
The last 3 hours of the first day sucked.
