All cosmetic. I can touch up most of the plastic so that it not TOO bad... a decent crack in the fairing on the right hand side (where it fell). The tank is what I'm most annoyed about... gouged down to the metal at some point. I'll probably start a thread re: plastics on eBay/Hong Kong/China. I can get a whole set of aftermarket fairings for $300, but I'm leery... Anyway...Originally Posted by 07BladeRider
Have fun w/ the ride, I was on the roads this morning (in the car) -- a little wet, but the sun was coming out.

Closer to $600 I thought? $300 + $300 shipping?

Not any more, though I'm sure it's a little damp. Just looked at the temp and it's only 45 out, sorry chuck but I think I'm gonna pass today and stay home raking leaves

I was going to say the same thing. ANd fitment isn't always that great either.
I would check eBay. I found the lower left for the 900 when a minivan kicked a short piece of 2x4 into it on the SE expressway a couple of years back.
And it's already 50 in Pomfret, CT.

The Douglas forest is the best part of that loop. That tight ass chicane that dumps into an uphill right hander. Gives me half a chub thinking about it. Wish I wasn't at work...
That's a tight turn. Decreases in radius. It surprised me when Eric took us through there a couple of months back.

You guys missed a nice ride. Wide open road. Minimal traffic. Expensive food. And a live blues band at the Bean.
Annalisa & I did rode 2 up, since she wasn't comfortable with the thought of wet roads and leaves.
Only swamp showed.
And Mark, it's not that cold out. I guess Yamaha riders are pussies.

I hung around watching the Blue's Band and eating Clam Chowder till 1:20, Sounded excellent and the drummer was wearing a huge Bear Head...HAha..
There was a large group of Moto Guzzi guys there today.... Some cool ass OLD bikes
Silly me never pushed the clock back on the bike/phone and it was really 12:20 when I left.....
The Back Roads were fine with minimal leaves... Good ride!
Sorry I missed you guys.
We got there just after 12:00. We ate indoors right in front of the big picture window. The band was right on the other side of it.
We were there until about 30-40 minutes after they stopped playing. Headed homeward at about 2:15 or so.
We only had 2 bikes. My silver 1000RR and a solid red Busa.

The guy on the 1098 left at the same time we did. He rode like an ass. Passing 3 cars on a double yellow on a blind right-hander.

That doesn't suprise me. My dad and I were standing there as he left and my dad was talking about how he didn't understand how someone older then him can lean over like that. Then he pulled away at the 4 way stop sign and my dad was like oh well I guess if he goes 100 miles an hour like that everywhere the wind will just keep him up.
