Dang where is that quote where ACK said he was done farklin and spending money on this bike?

Seat looks good Ack. Comfy inside eh? Sorry bud. Last day of March. got out for 151 miles today. A little windy, but sunny and near 70. You will see days like that too..you know those 3 days in August lol

Did you get more snow?

I think there's more then 1 in here?

12 weekends in a row for snow.

Man that stinks. Is that normal for you? We've had a mild one this year. Basically 3 weeks of snow. Of the first 90 days of the year I have ridden 50 of them.

[Ack-CB11_imp]

I moved out in 01 and this has been by far the worst yet. More this year then the last 13 combined.

Nice seat Ack, its going to go from damp & cold to 75-80 here in the east No spring as of yet.

Stock shock is back in. I want my high pipe back on and the Ohlins was to close IMHO. Sold the Ohlins and a Penske replacement should be here next week. I worked with the PA shop, nice people and great service. Talking to the factory direct makes me more comfortable. During my shock sale I learned the middleman I ordered it from put a spring on 40lbs heavier then I ordered? Help with the sale though, 215 seems a more popular weight.

" I'm done spending money" now where did I hear that? Lol

Cool looking shock Ack!

Oh yea, 40# heavier spring? That had to be a lot stiffer than you wanted.

It sure didn't feel like it was to stiff. It was so smooth, with the stock one back the difference is huge. Can't wait for the Penske. Sadly I could only get a dark blue spring, I think they use HyperPro.

You think so, I already have two on the list, screen and Laam seat. where does it end

[the Ferret]

I had a 650 pound spring on my FZ-1 when what I wanted was really a 600# spring. I bought the shock and spring used off a FZ forum member that weighed about 40# more than me and thought only 50# diff, no big deal. But it was sooo stiff.

After my loop with Chapomis yesterday I found this!

Must be safer in the dirt? Was just about a spike, that thing must be 6 inches long

It was in almost horizontal and didn't puncture the inside. Lucky
PS: I am embarrassed about the chicken strip dimples, I'll work those off this summer.
