Back to the normal routine...has gotta be good for you.

:thumbup:

Even though it's the same work....arvos do it better and having to cover all the lapses of the day shift crew was pretty tuff. Then there's the getting up at 5AM instead of going to bed at that time....then there's the breakfast...yadda yadda yadda.

That and I had a nice ride today...lol.:thumbup:

Hey Wolf - good deal on the bike fixes!

And - ozzieboy - mesh jacket over a t-shirt? I can only dream of that right now. Take a spin for me - but skip the coffee drink (I like my coffee hot). ;)

Ok, i rode my bike again today!!!!! Yep, got some new Bars (MCS Drag Bars, exactly what i had before), and Grips today, chucked em on, and took the bike for a quick spin around the block a few times...all seems to be good, bike is tracking straight, steady under heavy braking.....first real test will be tomorrow.

And to think the Bike shop, said that i was dreaming if i thought i was going to have it back on the road by the end of January!!! :eek:

Bike is still a little rough, couple of scrapes (Engine Cover), and minor dings to sort (Tank), but i am going to let insurance pay for those!

Bike was supposed to go in next Wednesday to be assessed for insurance...still will, but with a lot less stuff to worry about.

Total cost of fix so far, $102 (Bars, Grips, and a few nuts & bolts, etc), plus Burgers, & Beers, for Gary, who pulled off the fix of the year on my rearsets, and rear subframe!

:rockon:

I bet a paintless dent shop could fix all your dents without touching the paint. I got a pretty big dent pulled when a car knocked my bike over, and the tank looks perfect now.

Glad to hear your healing up quick! :thumbup:

don't see how to get them in the US... been searching a bit and don't see any places in the us to buy them for the fizz

edit: found Swing Arm & Fork Slides for Sportbikes and Motorcycles. Wild Hair Accessories.

You might be waiting a bit for them anyway.....I have had mine on order for a while now, and Ozzieboy just ordered some after witnessing my tumble....

As far as we know, we are the first people to ever order them for an FZ6...Am gueesing, that they are making them to order...hence the delay.
