So, when I installed my lower fairing, I had to un-bolt and re-bolt my kickstand. The switch gave me a little headache, and I didn't think it should have been as difficult or as time-consuming as it was, so I didn't even notice what I was lucky enough to have a friend point out the next day: Even though I had fixed the switch issue, the kickstand wasn't snapping all the way up. So I was riding around with the kickstand dangling just a bit. That's actually pretty dangerous, and something I always check for now.

Fast-fwd to 2:20 for the relevant part:

Edit: 2:20. Thanks, RRB.

Wow :eek: aside from the kickstand incident, that is some amazing riding!

Yep amazing skills, if he had the FZ6 he wouldn't have been able to pull away lol.
I guess he was so focused on the track.
How do you remember all the turns?
