Default Am I happy or what....

Bikes been in the shop this past week getting my winter mods done, see below in the sig. I stoped by today, and the bike was done, but still on the dyno. The service manager started it up for me, and all I can say is WOW... that D&D Fatcat exhaust sounds freaken awsome.

Now I have wait 2 more months before I can ride it...that sucks.

Anyway, I can atleast listen to it purrrrrrr in the garage.

Mike.

Well congrats, on the upgrades. Isn't it nice to be able these days to spend money and be happy about what you got instead of feeling like you got ripped off?

Not to burst your "Happy" bubble but don't listen to it purrr in the garge too often. Short runs for the sake of "starting her up" is more detrimental then good. All you are doing is building up condensation internally and in the oil and not allowing it to be burnt off instead. if you're going to run her, best to do it on the road and until at full running temperature too. That will burn off the condensates. Grab your digital camera and make a quick video that you can watch whenever the mood strikes and listen that way... Spring is right around the corner!

AND Please do post a much bigger version of your Avatar??

+3, I'd even be more happier if you blew up that girly avatar. Congrats on your new bike as I agree with Rodeo and his statement on starting up and idling. Do it once with a group of your friends, sip/toast with your choice of drink and chat away.

Potato, Potato, Potato,
