Now, get out and ride
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve taken Ol’ Yeller out for a street ride.
My tummy’s been rumbling for some sweet Kobe beef so tomorrow it’s off to one of our favorite destinations, The Diamondback Grill in Sonora, CA.
The bike has a couple track days under its belt so a bath was certainly on order.
All washed up and a quick system check has proved that this old dog is clean and running better than ever. Looking forward to spending some time with my old friend on some of our favorite roads.
Well, the day I though would never come, finally did
The Little Runt is off to its new home.
Although not the fastest, sleekest, or fanciest bike, I sure enjoyed our time together. There is much to be said about riding such a light bike. So much different than the bigger bikes I’ve grown accustom too.
This thing was such fun to ride, I will truly miss our trips together.
Ready to roll?
Picked up these from Moto Mummy. They had an incredible sale on the Battlax Hypersport S21 tires.
I’ve been running the BT-S20 on Ol’ Yeller for a while now, and love how they perform on both the street and track. So I figured the updated triple compound rear might be just what I’m looking for when it comes to good street performance for the Repsol.
Well, the wait is over, Moto Mummy had these delivered to my door in just a few days.
Looks like it’s time to give the Repsol some much needed TLC and get it ready to thoroughly enjoy the new riding season.
This old dog still has some new tricks!
Stick with what you know
Why did I wait so long?
Should have switched to stiffer springs 70,000 miles ago. Ol’ Yeller has really come alive thanks to the Racetech fork springs. Now I have to get a set for the Repsol.
It’s been WAY too long

I needed to scrub in the new tires, so I took Ol’ Yeller out to some of its old stomping grounds. I can’t help but think, if it could smile, it would be from ear to ear.
Can’t believe it’s been 17 years and 72,000+ miles since I brought it home. Many great adventures so far during our time together and hoping for many more to come.
I little TLC goes a long way
Holy smokes, look what else came in today
