What did you do with your Bike today?

Weather was nicer than expected so I rode over to Five Guys burger in woodbridge to meet a couple friends, stuffed our pie-holes with awesomeness, rode to Demetre's for more delicious junk and then over to Markham to help my buddy move some furniture.

Pulled a small wheelie today.

Me too! Mostly unintentional, 2nd gear, bike doesn't usually pull those... it'd do little ones but today it brought it WAY up! It surprised me so much I backed right out and slapped her down! lol. Bike is making big power after I installed the autotune!

So, to answer the question, I twisted it and ripped it right to redline all day, so I could "fill all my cells". Logged LOTS of data, crunched the numbers, 18% better fuel economy at cruise, 4% better at WOT! WOOT! :D

I went to see who was riding by Gooderham, only saw 3 riders on sport bikes and 2 harleys, had lunch, then came back to TO for a nap and then hit Moxies @ yorkdale
 
I had the 2005 R6. Nice little wheelie machine after 7000 rpm in first. Front was so light and controllable !! All on stock gearing. I Loved every minute of riding it.
 
Front wheel bearing and fresh rotors. Ready for Thursday. Hopefully the weather is as well.
 
Busy weekend, lots of back and forth picking stuff up on Saturday to do some work on the bike, did my first oil and filter change on the Monster, then got my Evotech tail tidy installed - not too painful, and worth the effort :D Sunday made it out to Whitby for the Royal sale, picked up some riding boots but need to adjust the shift lever before I'll ride with them. No matter how I try, it's just too tight a squeeze for the toe box and I end up sticking it trying to get my foot out from under.

Rode today despite the rain, and definitely regretting it. The DRZ never got too dirty in the rain but the Monster came home looking like a pig. I don't know how the **** it got so much mud/sand on it :|
 
In the effort of bringin' it back, I snapped my throttle cable today. This was after fitting a crash bar and some measurements to add highway pegs to the near-bottom of it (I also twisted the throttle a bunch for sh*ts which may have broken an already loose cable). It's unfortunate, because many of the stores I called didn't have a listing on a throttle cable, didn't know what an xs400 is, or had new cables on a 2 week back-order. To the salvage yard it is!
