I'll see what I can do.

A couple of impressions after my short first ride:


1. Wind protection sucks. The Lightning has to be torture.

2. Downshift...what the hell is that? Not needed.

3. Drummer exhaust = :drool:

4. Front brake = CASH MONEY. Rear brake = Useless.

What kind of damper? Most of the ones I've seen hang off the side of the bike and look like fucking turds...

7k RPM... You can't even get to 7k! :lol:

1) When you're as... *ahem*... wide... as I am, wind protection sucks on just about everything. You get used to the lack thereof. I enjoy the breeze.

2) 3rd gear is your friend. It's the only fucking gear you'll ever need. Cruising speed is a solid 75mph and is just about perfect for any situtation. The only time mine gets out of 3rd is when I'm on the highway or Drewpy's crazy ass decides to hammer it in the straights.

3) I can't wait to get mine together... I'd love to compare!

4) Front brake is good. I got some new pads ready to go on... Hopefully they'll provide a little more feel. Rear brake is only good for standing the fucking bike up in a turn. Don't ever use it.

The damper is a LSL...tucked in nicely under the bottom triple.

Yep, those are the sweet ones... They're the only ones that make one that's hidden IIRC... Most of the time I see these:

XB's are rock solid without them... But since you already have it included... fuck it!

Congradulations.... welcome to the world of Liter+ engines.... Powerband? We don't need no stinkin' powerband!

BTW. For being such a "proud pappa" you sure as hell don't smile for shit.

Look how ugly. You, not the bike. Congratz, man. Don't know why you hold it in such high regard, but I'm happy for ya. When are the Pilot Powers going on?? Also, when are the pink highlights going on??

marko138 05-03-2008 08:05 PM

Pink plastics are scheduled for tomorrow. Pilots are depended on how I feel about the Corsa III's.
