#10 | | | Re: Racebike almost ready for Sunday!!! Thanks a bunch everyone!!! I'll be getting some large Honda stickers for both sides of the lower cowl, an then I'll be putting some various smaller ones slanted above them.
I thought for sure some wisecracker would notice that there's a Dunlop tire on the front (Pirelli stickers on front fender), and stock lines (Goodridge stickers on the forks)......  .
Hey, for you that race a 600RR, what did hoses did you have to run into a catch bottle, and where did you mount it?
Coderedcbr...Just sunday? See you there since I'll be pitting next to your team, hehehe.  | |

The rest of the goodies are on the way to me via my wifie. She went up to Calsportbike in Wrightwood to get 'em for me  . Todd @ Calsportbike.com hooked me up once again  .
Thanks Todd! | |

I can't see crashing in practice before your first race helping your mental state in future races. good luck next month (bastard my bike will probably be put away for the winter by then so I'm gonna have to live through all you people who can still ride)
So how many stickers (and corresponding hp they add) did you put on? you got an .org sticker on there I hope.

Swapped the front Pirelli ones for Dunlop  ......"Gonna stick in '05 with Dunlop!" .......All puns intended  .
No one ever offered me .org stickers to go along with the patches I won from fireblades.org Day's a Grattan '04
Thanks for the luck bro!  | |

Yeah, you did tell me that, and you'll be missed. Hope you can make it for January  . | |

. | Yea with the popout ends it's pretty much a 33-35 footer. We're seriously considering getting a toyhauler. A friend has a nice 18' that we're considering. Kind of small but very adequate for what we need it for. If we don't take it, would you be interested? |
