Well as of 1150 pm on 5-26-07 I have 4001 miles on my bike. I got it 4-10-07 and have been riding it for 45 days.
Avg of 88.9 miles per day. Hee Hee Heee. LOL

I still love it.
Went on a ride with a ZZR 600 today. He is a nice guy but doesnt wear gear or a helmet. I talked to him about why I do, and I will keep telling him, hopefully he will see why they are important.

I have about 2 mm of chicken strip on the right of the rear, and about 5 on the left. That is from parking lot practice and not extreme lean angle on the street.

Anyway its a blast and I love this bike.

Hey Steve, that's impressive! I got my bike around the same time (4-6-07) and have 1900 miles. But how fast have you got it goin... I use it everyday since this is my only mode for transport. Thanks for the oil filter tip by the way, I did get myself the Puralator One that you recommended, however, I had to go with the smaller one since the first choice was not in stock.

Good deal. LOL
I have had it up to registered 135 mph. You?
The oilfilters are from CalSci, OrangeValeFJR's friend that made the windshield for Sherry.
I love this bike.

I hear those higher RPM's in 6th calling me. Like a good Catholic girl, I know I must not give in, or else I'm going to rip it up like the Rick James I know I am.

85mph on the clock...probably done faster and not noticed.

Must resist temptations!

Since I started commuting to my new job, I almost always do at least 80 with the flow of traffic to get home. I've done three digits many times passing people. The bike feels amazing...I think its the airbox mod and ram-air effect at high speeds.

im a weekend rider with my buddies but they all have much faster bikes so on the highways i struggle to keep up especially since this bike tops out at 160-165 (depending on wind and road) and they are all cruising at 170+ so sometimes i wish i could be that much faster but then i also know its gonna hurt that much less....
