FAIL

This is what happens when you don't keep your bike on a battery tender. I haven't used my CBR since my last track day at the beginning of November. It was a perfect day for a ride. I had just put on my mirrors and connected my lights getting stubby ready for the street again. My buddy and I were about to go on a short twisty loop and after getting gas my bike's battery fails. Totally my fault!!


Gas station on Geary and Irving




Going across the street to a construction site for electricity to jump a bike with an electrical charger. (fail electrical cord was to short) then to a Dry cleaning place to try their electrical outlet to do the same but couldn't get the bike started. CC rider to the rescue an hour later.


Taking forever we eventually went home. Billy had to get ready for work and I just rode sharp park and around SF. In full leathers like a nitwit.

November Track Day 11.8.10

Getting Stubby ready for track day.



:)



Here's the cockpit view before track time.



Over all it was a great day. I got to borrow a lap timer and got my best times of 2:14 around the track which qualifies me for the A group. I also got my suspension
dialed in professionally by Dave Moss from Catalyst Reaction. Great group of people and very friendly and helpful. Especially with newbs at the whole suspension process. I recommend getting your suspension done if you haven't already did especially if you're riding track.

Stevie's Ninjai

Putting on the sliders...


Worked on Getting Stevie's frame sliders on this Sunday. Right after I put the sliders on his bike Stevie was backing the lil Ninjai out of my driveway and dropped it smack on its right slider! : ( After picking the bike back up and looking and checking for damage I guess the slider did its job. It saved his fairing from getting smashed. The only damage to the fairing was a little scratch. The problem was the engine
bolt with got bent because the fall smashed directly onto the slider which caused everything else to loosen. I had to take the sliders off and replace the engine bolt with the oem one. Well his sliders were on for a total of five minutes but at least they did their job. :D I guess it saved him from getting overpriced fairings but now he has to get a new engine bolt and put the sliders back on.



After the mishap. Stevie makes the bike look like a 125.
