just so everyone can see, these spots are where you are most likely to make contact with the road.
so no helmetless riding, no brain buckets... just chin protection.

Going to blow through a full tank this week. Not enjoying the cold mornings but the afternoons and evenings have been nice.
Still riding in between the rains.
actually its CF for my name 
give me a day i will fix it, lol
Fun times at the speedway to watch a fellow cart member drive in a lemons race. This exact car behind my bike lol
9k on the bike as of today.
well the time has come, the inspection guy says my front tire is dry rotted and cupped; needs to be replaced and the rear tire should be done when the season is over.. i have dunlop sportmax q3+ tires on it now. the front is certainly looking rough even with lots of tread left.
i ordered a sportmax gpr-300 tire to replace it as they recommended which should be more compliant overall in all conditions considering my riding style. i guess i don't need super grippy sport tires on my bike like i do my car.
to remove the front wheel, i am going to put it up on the center stand and do what? it should not take much to rock the bike back i was thinking of having my wife sit back on the bike so i can remove the wheel. i saw on the forum someone used a jack and block of wood to hold the bike forks up. my father recommended strapping the handlebars but i only have garage door track to hang it from but i don't think i am going to do this.
on my old buell i had to remove the exhaust to get the bike supported underneath (the pipe and muffler are underneath the motor, motor block is part of the frame) to remove/repack the triple tree and replace the forks. but it was alot less weight too.

There's some inexpensive bike jacks on amazon. it might be worth spending $100 bucks instead of trusting your wife to hold up a motorcycle.

ive already confirmed i wont need my wife, lol . i put the bike up on the stand and it requires very little force to rock it to the back tire so i ratchet strapped it to my workbench leg.
still waiting for the tire to arrive before taking things apart but i loosened all the bolts already.
