That's a sweet bike !
I played with Misty's picture (um) so we could see her a little better.

Nice job !

WOW misty is a LOVELY shade of blue i bet she really catches the sun


Back here in the UK where its not always sunny i took my 9 yr old daughter out for her FIRST ever ride on a motorbike
We went to the end of the road, " is that ok" "YEAH" so we went to the next village & back. looks like iv found a new pillion. I could hear her giggling on the back, thats a good sign.

his bike is 197kg in weight with 197 hp.. awesome machine...however good ol misty kept surprising him when he look at his rear view to see he didn't get too far away..awesome ride~ and i experienced a little heart stopper doing 140 and drifting on to the white slippery highway stripes..the strangest feeling front and back wheel where slip sliding away, didn't panic, got it upright and recovered.. need some steering dampners i think..

Ended up doing the valve adjust today, I did it according to the Hi-speed drawing that some one did on page 2 of the "How too's section on Valve Adjust". I adjusted them to one size larger, so to give me more leeway. Now she runs alot better. Still need to tune the carbs, but much it is better now. She is still cutting out(most likely the battery) but I have a battery on order, and waiting on the tire spoons to get here so I can put these new shinko ravens on.
