[quote=VIVID1]Oh my gosh, Mike the cherrypicker. How have you been?

I've layed low since sticking my foot in my mouth at CLSB and getting da boot. Although I think I was mostly misunderstood.. I was over the top and deserved it. I think I outgrew Ken and the clan. I've met up with Kevin a couple times since then while in Gurnee on business.

Lately, I keep dialing in more softness on the supension and going for longer more relaxing rides. Right now the 9R really wallows over bumps but I kind of like it because it's more comfy. I think I'm understanding much better your view of riding. I'm even considering getting a bigger front sprocket which would turn 6th into a true overdrive for more relaxed freeway cruising and fuel economy.

The motor on the Kawi is a little more crude than the Honda and has the big ram air intake which gives a lot of induction noise... so I don't have much trouble hearing it with earplugs. I can also feel the RPM's through the vibratons in the tank and bars.


SO what's new with you? You should shoot me an e-mail. motoguy128@yahoo.com
