 | Wish me luck! Changed coolant out for water & wetter... check Drilled out front axle nut... check Installed front axle sliders... check Installed mirror plates... check Taped headlights... check Canyon Dancer and tie-downs ready for loading FIrst ever track day on Monday afternoon, followed by track school on Wednesday, then 1-month break, then Grattan. I've been avoiding any road riding in the last 2 weeks to make sure Murphy and his laws don't screw up my Blade beforehand. New Dunlops and 520 kit should be here on time for tuesday, at which point I'll also get my black swinger installed. I'm so ****in pumped.... can't think about anything else right now. Pics and story to come.                                     | |

| Re: Wish me luck! Just take it easy and don't get caught up in someone else's ride or try to keep up with someone else. You are only responsible for the person in front of you, hence why you don't have mirrors. Good luck. Remember to blink and breathe. |
