Old Sportbike Enthusiast. Yes, both those meanings.
The boy was itching to do some upgrades to his 6RR. Chain and sprockets were on the menu. He went with a -1/+2 configuration because looking for 7th gear is fun I guess. Anyway, it’s all buttoned up now. Just need the snow to melt. :/

Sitting in the garage with my other buddies that also hate winter.

Rolled out of bed early this morning to hit Virginia Beach Bikes and Breakfast. Temp was not too bad and it ended up being quite a nice turn out. The 1986 VF1000R was awesome to see.

Just a wave to all the other riders out there. :)

A few years back when my son expressed interest in riding I ‘obtained’ a 2003 #Suzuki #SV650. Like a lot of SV’s that age it needed a lot of love. It was an insightful project with my biggest takeaway being that a new cable clutch line needs to be lubricated before being installed. O.o

My son wanted to ‘get to know’ his #Kawasaki #ZX6RR a little better so we stripped it down, checked the air filter, cleaned it up and installed new brake lines (F+R). Still no work done to my #ZX7R lol

Going through some old pics remembering that time I rode my #Ducati 1199 all the way to New Zealand. ;)

Not going to lie… Fork servicing sucks. Notice I upgraded my cardboard floor protection to a rug my son found on the side of the road.

My daily go-go machine. A 2023 #Indian #FTR1200 Carbon R. A pinch of insanity mixed with a dash of lunacy mixed in with a ton of hooliganism. This one makes me feel like a kid again. Not the lightest nor the most powerful but its character makes for an interesting machine.

I need time to slow down a bit. It was my father that sparked my interest in 2 wheels when I was a kid. I had my son on 2 wheels when he was 5, a passenger at 7 and now as a young adult we ride together. My biggest fear is that we do a track day and he’s faster than me. ;)

Changing gears here. Not a ride from days gone by this time but the 2003 #Kawasaki #ZX6RR (yes, RR) my son picked up back in October. Not his first bike but the first that is actually his.

Next up in the bikes gone by is my 2013 #Ducati #Panigale 1199. This little beastie was absolutely glorious to ride. Still miss the power… Always looking for more power. ;)

Today’s ride from days gone by is the 2006 #MVAgusta #Brutale 910S. I picked this one up because I couldn’t resist its Italian sexiness. It intrigued me. It seduced me. It made me do so many silly things.

Continuing on with my content of former bikes. Today it’s the 2008 #Kawasaki #Z1000. OMG the giggles this thing provided. The best I can describe it as is ‘silly fun’. The front wheel spent more time in the air than on the ground.

Another old throwback to keep the motorcycle content flowing. This time my 2001 #Suzuki #TL1000S. If an aftermarket part could be bolted on chances are I had bolted it on. Even parts not intended to be bolted on were on it. It was a sad day when this one went to a new home.

Remembering days gone by. Circa 2007 at #summitpoint raceway on a #suzuki #tl100r. Good times. If all goes well with the ZX7R then I hope to be doing this again. Though doing it in my 50’s will be a bit more challenging then when I was in my 30’s.
November 17, 2024 at 12:42 PM
Just throwing this up for more motorcycle content. This is my 2006 Ducati Paul Smart. Part of the Sport Classic line that ran from 2006 to 2010. I was lucky enough to pick it up second hand in 2010 and has been my garage queen ever since.

At the end of a long day being greeted by a couple of puppers is always welcome.

A mechanical failure (clutch pushrod seal) led to a sudden and unintended change of direction and unwelcome impact with the pavement. My 2003 Kawasaki ZX7R is going under the knife this winter to become a track only rebuild. Fun and games to ensue.
