Bike looks good bro! nice to see your not scared to do your own maintenance!

off subject but what happened with your Stang? I see what looks like a big ass dent in the passenger door... :idk:

Quick, your blog sucks.



J/K....you're doing good work.

LOL! I didn't even see this until now. Sorry for the long long long wait.

My beloved Stand got a gentle roll onto it's side during a fun run down a back road. Wasn't drunk or anything like that, just having fun on a back road when the car got into a back and forth that I couldn't catch up with.

100,000 miles on the car and thats the first time I ever really fucked it up. :(

if your serious about going back to AK and take'n the bike... look into maybe picking up a little dual sport instead... you'll open up 100x the roads... and have a lot of fun...

I wished I'd done that with my time up there... not that having my ZZR up there wasn't fun (when I was there to ride it) but there are soo many trails and shit you could have a blast on with a dual sport or shit... a dirt bike

yeah that will be a long way to go on a gixxer, knoxville to indy to knoxville hurt a lot, can't imagine to Alaska on a sportbike.

I can... :lol:

it'd be a fun ass ride... one I really wanna do eventually....

but riding up there... is more suited for a dual sport or a adventure tourer

yeah i wouldnt do it on a sportbike, but I would do it on a adventure tourer. I actually may go demo some adventure tourers tomorrow to see if I really want one.

I've wanted one for a while... one day... I'll get one... but that's a few years and raises from now

For the most part I would probably drive around the us visiting family in places like Texas, California, Illinois, and Ohio. Then once I got to Alaska I would be too busy working and hiking to get out and ride alot. One on hand I am thinking, holy shit this is going to hurt. On the other hand I think it is a perfect way to abuse my youth. Allowing me tell the tale, and then say but I would never try that again!!!

:lol: but if you did it once... you'd do it again....

invest in an Air Hawk Seat pad... they're worth their weight in gold... trust me... even Drewpy approves!

but yes... life is nothing more than a string of experiences... so hell... have at it!

Once again, another great recomendation by Ebbs! I was thinking about a Corbin seat but this might be better.

the nice thing about this is it's adjustable... what I did was fill it with air at the start of the day... and then rode as long as I could... when I started to get sore (which was a long time after I'd normally get sore on my stock seat) I'd let a bit of air out and I'd sink into it a bit more... get another 5-6hrs of seat time no prob.


the only draw back is when riding aggressively... you can't slide well... it grips your ass and so you end up pulling it off the side... so you need to pick your ass up when you go to hang off the bike. but it's also very simple to remove for those stints too...
