22 doesnt get really good until you get past I75.

the best time, at least that I have seen is Saturday or Sunday afternoons. We are out there about every other Sunday, and there is usually a couple dozen sportbikes out there, and 80% are the same people everyweekend. be cautious, its some agressive riding, and its easy to get in over your head out there. run it several times at a very relaxed pace, there are some corners and geography you just have to know about, becuase if you haul *** into one of the some of them, it will freak you out if your not ready.

I took 22 the second week I had my bike, and promptly had one of those moments, and over the embankment I went. luckily I just landed in some guys field, had I been about 15ft over, I would have smacked a tree dead on.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I also have the same Yellow 06 and I have considered doing the split-seat conversion. Great looking ride.

I'm not one to get in over my head. I ride within my own limits since I'm fairly new at this. I have been on a few rides and didnt feel comfortable with what the guys with me were doing so I just lay back. I respect the bike and value my *** over my pride =).

Having said that I will run those roads alot over the next few weeks to get a feel for them. Sounds like a blast.

RojerLockless - Haha yes, yes she does !

For everyone thats PMed me about details I hope I answered your questions well enough. Here is a little how to here on this forum. Its in 2 parts and I used this alot.

https://cbrforum.com/m_277387/tm.htm

https://cbrforum.com/m_189426/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm

Now this guy had some issues with the battery cable (negative) not reaching and the ECU mount but I didnt have that trouble. The ECU straps to the top of the battery box with the trunk strap rubber thingy.

Anyway hope this helps.
