8k milestone + ride report

[Motomike7_imp]

Yesterday I hit the 8k milestone on the 1100 on the way to class. I bought the bike in December used with around 3k (I believe 3100 give or take 50). Not as high milage as my 17 crf250l with 38.5k but in fairness I have had that bike since new.

Overall had a good riding day yesterday, great weather and thanks to light traffic I was able to cruise at 100 or so for a decent while. Got to the point where scraping peg happens pretty regularly and I'm getting very comfortable with it in the corners. Only mods I've done to it are the Delkevic full system, 42 tooth rear sprocket, and going up to a 160 on the rear. the combination of which has made this bike an amazing riding experience thus far. The wider rear tire helps with launching the bike from a dig and inspires more confidence in the corners, the slightly lower gearing helps with the stoplight races and makes wheelies a bit easier, and the exhaust makes the bike sound awesome which does wonders for the whole experience.

I will likely go into more detail on those mods, the cost, experience with them etc. in another thread where it is more relevant to do so. I will likely also be posting some photos and videos of my rides at some point both here and on youtube for those interested.
