Couple new shots of the 6

[CEO]

Cleaned her up (both street and track skins), did some general maintenance (oil and filter, chain adjust and clean and lube, etc), and got her ready for the track. Mounted up the camera and laptimer as well.

Now I just need some riding skills and some red numbers.

Decided to ride down the block and take a few photos in the track skins by the lake... they didn't come out too great because the sun was fading, but they're alright:







Here's an older one in street trim:

a bike isn't supposed to look better in track plastics, unless chris owns it.

Nice. I cant wait to get out there with you on monday and tuesday. Lets see what you can do on it now. What did you end up with for a timer and where did you mount it?

Thanks dudes

Nice. I cant wait to get out there with you on monday and tuesday. Lets see what you can do on it now. What did you end up with for a timer and where did you mount it?

As for what I can do on it... don't get your hopes up... I suck.

I picked up an XT ultralap... got it used for the price of a minilap.

for now I've just jury-rigged it with some velcro... the infared eye is just mounted on the plastics with velcro below the handlebar and the main unit I think I'll either velcro to the triple tree or on the top of the ram air tube in the stay right below the gauges; I'm not to concerned since it will just be temporary since I'm going to machine or have machined (I think tricky mike's going to help me out) a little mounting block that attaches to the upper hole in the fairing stay where the headlight used to attach, so it WILL be like this:



I'll use this hole to mount it:

Try mounting it on the bottom 1/2 of the tach. It serves two purposes. This way you dont have to look to the side to see it. Also if you cant see the tach needle you know youre in the wrong area of the power curve.

Looks hot as hell man. When do I get my demo ride?

[MissTwisties]

Do you dive, by any chance? Those red/white stripes reminds me of the divers symbol (which I have on my rear window of my car)

That bike looks sexy as hell!

[R7]

[ahtune69]

Who did the paint, nice work.

It was Robie Nigl of Peach Pit. Same guy did my bike. Does an awesome job. After the season Im sending off my bodywork to him for repairs and repaint

+1 Looks good.

[a13x]

Purdy.

Like the glamour shots down by the river.

[Jim]

that is a nice bike

i like the track look a little better than the street trim


also, how long does it take roughly to change over the fairings from street to track, vice versa ?

should only take 5 mins, but chris is anal and even torque's his fairing bolts so it takes him about 2 hours

[KillBill]

Very Nice......diggin tha scheme

[GixerJockey]

You, your camera, and your bike... are all gay...

[CEO]

Thanks guys... I figure I might as well enjoy it while it looks good... probably isn't going to last very long next season :

Try mounting it on the bottom 1/2 of the tach. It serves two purposes. This way you dont have to look to the side to see it. Also if you cant see the tach needle you know youre in the wrong area of the power curve.

Hmm maybe I will try that.

Looks hot as hell man. When do I get my demo ride?

When you get to a track day and stop being a pansy

Do you dive, by any chance? Those red/white stripes reminds me of the divers symbol (which I have on my rear window of my car)

^ it's a yamaha thing

Yep yamaha 'speedblocks'... just like King Kenny himself, just minus the 'speed' part in my case



...but I know the diving logo you're talking about my uncle used to have those on his truck he was really into SCUBA diving.

catch up with ya before i take off??

Yeah I got your PM, hopefully we can figure something out.

Looking good dude. Seeya Friday...

You gonna be there practicing? I think you already did a race weekend right?

can you just stick it to the top triple with double sided tape?

Yeah I was thinking I would put it on the top triple until I got my little bracket machined. We'll see, I'll figure something out.

Can I ride it?

You doing the 29th or 30th? I'll let you take it for a rip.. and I'll try out your new tard don't think I should try it in blue though... maybe I can drop down for a session? dunno if that's allowed...

Who did the paint, nice work.

It was Robie Nigl of Peach Pit. Same guy did my bike. Does an awesome job. After the season Im sending off my bodywork to him for repairs and repaint

Yep Robbie Nigl does awesome work... he did the paint (color, painted white plates, pinstripe around the plates)... I applied the red/white stripes myself though... took a long time to do it carefully.

also, how long does it take roughly to change over the fairings from street to track, vice versa ?

Takes me about an hour and a half or so?

I could do it in much less time... but I take my time, don't want to fuck up the street stuff cuz it's all mint.

I usually give everything (both street and track) a once-over with honda polish as I'm doing it, it's a good time to do it and it's easy because I just hold the fairings in my lap as I clean them.

should only take 5 mins, but chris is anal and even torque's his fairing bolts so it takes him about 2 hours

You should see how I torqued your mom's box last night

Well either way it will be good to see ya and get some laps in. You know what group you're running? I have never ridden a tard on the track but would like to give it a whirl

You're in for a treat with my 6... she's a screamer.
