It's been a very long time. I don't have my Aprilia any more. Someone else has it. Hope it treats them well! I really have not been out riding this year nor last year. I have to my fall at the track on turn two. Typical accident handful of brakes and target fixation. Should've known better. The gixxer was jacked up I was ok. After that accident, I didn't do anything for a very long time. Just chilled and worked. Went through changes at home. Now I can focus on myself by riding again!
I took the Gixxer for a test ride earlier this week and noticed that it pulled to the right, there was brake drag, the oil cooler was touching the header, the header was also touching the oil pan, and it felt weird sitting on the bike. I took it to Dick Wasco Thursday. He looked at it and noticed that it could be minor work needed to get it back to full comfort level. He called me yesterday and informed me what he found and when it will be done. He said that both forks were a bit tweaked, the rotors were warped, of course the radiator was bent and the subframe was bent. A few things to straighten out and by middle of next week it will be ready! YUP!!!!!
I'm going riding Friday August 1! I can't wait to get back on the road and take a long trip! It's been a very long time.
