Sadly it was only a trip around the block and back. I was forced to do some lawn maintenence <_< so I knew that I wouldn't have time for some good riding today. I took her around the block and reached 100.2 miles. Woohoo!
I've noticed that riding with jeans is limiting my ability to move. The pants feel great, but maybe the bottom cut is too big or something. They catch on my footpegs.
It then proceeded to rain enough that I did not want to ride anymore. I want to keep my baby pampered... Believe me, she gets kisses.
My Saturday morning ritual revolves around my ninja. First, condition the leather with leather conditioner from Armour All. Next, use tire black conditioner to protect the sidewalls and look oh so sexy, and finally take a microfiber cloth and clean every bit of the bike.
I've noticed that it has become more argumentative with choke. Took twice as long today as a few days ago to get going. Needs choke more and loner. I heard that these bikes need to be choked the shit out of, but oh wells. I like looking like a pimp in the driveway with my gear on waiting for her to get ready.

Near the 100 mile mark!
I am a member of sportbikes.net and have been quite active lately. It is a nice forum and full of information, picture, help, and all types of riders. I suggest that forum to anyone.
I have 98 miles on the bike! I decided to open throttle on a straight in third gear and omfg! I read that the seals in street bikes break-in after a few minutes of riding so I went ahead decided to get it over 6k rpm. I was going 50 and needed to get over a speed bump. That is what sucks about where I can do my riding. There are so many of these damn speed bumps. Luckily the one I was approaching had a open space in the middle.
I am thinking about getting a sticker made for my helmet that says something to the effect of "Is 20 years in 'pound me in the ass' prison for manslaughter worth proving something to me?" There is a thread on sb.net that is all about the annoyances of cagers and ragers tailgaiting. One person said that ice bombs-into-the-windshield would work well. Some say stickers that say "f*ck off" or "get the f*ck off my ass" would work, I thik that would enrage them more. I am not the victim of a tailgating for my bike yet, but assholes do that to me in my truck.
On another note, I was looking into getting a riding permit (not license), but in Texas a licensedd rider must be able to see you. I dont know anybody with a bike that could go group riding with me, and my licensed dad doesn't have a bike.
Oh wells. Gonna go to the huge parking lot and practice curves and getting up to 60mph fast for road travel. I was itchn' for a GSXR600 recently until I goosed my 250. Holy shite. I think I nearly pissed my pants. The downward pointing peg-thing on the foot pegs catches my pants. I wanna know if that is necessary or if I can remove it.
Ohwell, if it doesn't rain I'll finish my 100 mile goal finally breaking in the tire and go get some gas.
Bye for now. It's kinda hard to ride and do new things while unlicensed and father on the jobeveryday of the week outta town.
