Default Did 1144 in 21 hours

Last September 5, I had another chance to do another 1K+ mile ride. Went to Competition Accessories in Rock Hill, SC, had BBQ sandwich for lunch and rode home. The first pic is the time I left and the mileage on a Sunday morning and the second pic is when I got home Monday morning. There's more to follow so please bear with me.

Can someone please tell me why I can't post pics? I'm clicking on the Attachments, the pics uploads but won't post. Thanks.

Plus One.

That is one of the better looking Busa's I've seen.

I know you posted pics of the wheels but I don't ever recall seeing the whole bike.

Is it lowered?

Thanks. Yes, it's lowered 2 inches front and rear. I sent the forks to Traxxion Dynamics where they cut the springs, re-valved, re-sprung, then dyno-tuned on their suspension dyno. On the rear, we used Brock's lowering link.
By the way, she now has over 76K miles on her and she turned 3 years old last month.

Here's a couple more pics for you.

[QUOTE=Captain Morgan;421334]Very sharp looking bike. Amazing that you have averaged 25k miles a year, yet work 6 days a week and have kids to take care of. Do you commute to work? Or do you just take random long trips when you get a chance?

Thanks.
I don't commute to work because I live less than 4 miles away from it. It takes me like 6 minutes to drive to work. I ride between 4:00 and 6:00AM a lot. That's how I do it. I don't take long trips either. Kids have too many after school activities after school that's why I can't leave the family behind for days. I've only done 2 1K+ mile rides within 24 hours in the last 5 years. That's about the only long trips I've ever done.

I've only washed the Strom once, and I didn't really even wash it. I just gave it a quick spray and called it good. I do need to get all the bugs off the front of it

Like I've said, riding between 4:00 and 6:00AM is how I do it. That's a little over 100 miles every time I do it. I wish I can stay out longer but I have to be at work at 7:30AM.
