I am the 3rd owner of my bike. When it was November 21, 2010, it only had the the PC3, DB windscreen, and FE. I have put over 5000 miles on it this season as of now. I am a college student and am modding it on a budget (very hard to do :thumbdown). Since I was young I have always wanted a motorcycle. It was my daily commuter over the summer and I plan on tracking it in the future. This is my first bike and first season of riding. She is my pride and joy. Thanks for looking.

I just want to catalog my build to see a before and after. This is as it sits at home under the tarp. This weekend I will be stripping her down to winterize her. This will be a very slow build until I am out of college.

At Putnamville Road Course with my buddy's R1. There wasn't much done at that point I believe.

Well, I got to go home this weekend and pick the bike up from the dealership. Never again, too much money for regular scheduled maintenance. :nono But I cleaned her up. Here's the newest pictures with the forum decal, removed passenger pegs, and tinted proton flushmounts.

I'm like a blind man @ work, no pics :(

Subbed for later viewing from home :D

I do like my renthal clip-ons :yes
I can't wait to put them on! I am excited for a little bit of adjustability cause being a little over 6 feet tall blows sometimes.
