Default It really is true!!!! 2005 New Blue Gsxr 1000

I am truely blessed. I swear she is like a new girlfriend I keep staring at her she's been buffed and riden 25miles on her for today but a slow cruise to Pally tomorrow will get her closer to break in. Looks like Pahrump maybe the first day on the track. I hope to have about 2k miles by then. This is no flying couch that's for sure more like a flying bar stool it is so twitchy and responsive. I'm gona be asking you guys about getting the suspension dialed in for my height and weight it actuall seems lower then the busa wierd. Maybe that's just the different peg location. Anyway here's the link to the quick pics I took of her so far.

BTW I must get the suspension setup right from the start this time and may need to get a damper as well. I'll be looking for direction on that real soon. If you have any suspension experts in mind I'd like to get in touch with them

Check out Dave Moss with Catylist. Link on the portal page for Buttonwillow. He'll be at BW on the 9th, and at Willow Springs for the WSMC races as well as a bunch of other places. :thumbup

You are going to love that thing at Pahrump fo sho!! Hope you can make it both days. Did they hook you up for a free ticket to the races for tomorrow when you purchased it?
