What is it about bikes that make us open up our wallets for all these damn parts?

$300 in new tires/tubes/bars/grips for the DRZ.

Still need a skid plate/case savers.

Oh wait...you guys just ride on the street, don't mind me...

Any 757 guys have good shop recommendations?

I'd like to go with Precision, but they want $50 per tire for a tire change (wheels on).

EEK!

Looking good J. I'm excited to hit up my 2nd TD ever. First was last July. Debating if Road Atlanta or the track out in Bama.

Yeah man, that looked awesome!

I'd been wanting to hit one of those Ninja 250 track days when that company would travel around and give you everything you need for a day on the track for like $200.

Company is no longer in business.

That doesn't sound like a profitable business sir...

I'm getting closer to the goal, I was going to have it on two wheels today but I messed up and didn't get a graduated cylinder to measure fork oil.

Naked front with the fairing stay/headlights, I want to go fairings but I'm on the fence about ebay, and OEM is just too high of a price for a bike that old and it kills the whole cheapy cheap side of the build.
