ow! Cant wait!

I can assure you Im very eager to get those rims on too! Just havent gotten around to getting the tyres yet. I still ride the bike on the street from time to time at the moment, having the rims+slicks on is just a little inconvenient.

But... Holidays coming up soon. Should have something to show soonish :)

yea but
what do you use to commute to work now
That smushed front fender on the car looks scary.You are one fortunate man to be alive or even be walking
You owned so many cool bikes.
You didn't like the 525 for SM that much?

The luckiest part about the crash, was the fact that I flew through the air (after bouncing off the car) between two power poles and landed on the wheelchair access ramp of the sidewalk then rolled into a picket fence...of a medical centre. :rofl::bs:

I still commute on the berg from time to time, but in the last few months Ive been using the Superduke R. Ive softened the suspension up a crazy amount. It sucks if I want to push hard, but its made the bike ride-able. I also put a throttle cam on to soften the response a bit, and the bikes been tuned on the dyno (although I think I will take it to the guy that dyno'd the berg, cos he really knows his stuff.)

And I loved the 525! That thing was a total animal :) But after the rebuild, I was low on cash and I wanted to go travelling for a couple months with my girlfriend so the bike had to go. I still see it from time to time with the front wheel rarely touching the ground.

Got the pipe fitted! It does actually sound SLIGHTLY quieter thanks to the megabomb... still obnoxiously loud though :rofl:



The O2 sensor is gone! And we didnt get a FI light error. Very pleased about that.

Only rode it back from the shop, so it hasnt had much of a chance to change all bluey / purpley as the Ti pipes do.

I noticed that the fueling feels a fair bit better now with the new pipe, as previously with the new TB and holey seat, it was mega lean. It still feels a tiny bit lean, but it is definately an improvement.

Before I had the pipe fitted, I had it on the dyno for a run. Currently at 58.01 rwhp. My UST arrives next week, and the bikes booked in for a dyno tune at the start of next year. Cant wait to see what we can do with the tuning software! :bannana:
