Between Marble Falls and Fredricksburg, Texas, just before a three mile dirt road.  After that road, the bike is the dirtiest it has been in a long time.  It may take a month for be to get it back where it was.  :)


Man that thing looks sexier and sexier every time I see it Tip er I mean Really.  I still haven't finished my drag bar setup but I'm about 99% positive I'll end up with the same setup as yours.  Did you change your seat?

Thanks d00d.  Yea, it is one of those from Vietnam.  Is is a bit shorter than the stock one but that foam will sure create monkey butt after a while.  There is a guy near me that I can that good foam in there and give me a multi-hour seat. It was on sale on eBay so I got it.  It took a while to get to me but before the 45day thing.  I know you had issues with your seat from that guy.  I feel lucky that it worked out for me.

I went on my first ride of the season during easter. The weather was glorious but cold (4-5 C).

These pictures where taken near Oltedal, Norway.

oh yea I bet! The lowered stance looks great but my 6ft frame likes the extra height. My next rebuild will look a bit like yours.

Kewl.  You know it will look good then.   8)

I am only 1/2" short of 6' myself.  But then the wife is about 5'4" and it is still a tad too tall but she can handle it as it is.

I know it looks jerky, but today I had my first street ride this season on the 350 Four.  Also had a chance to try out the camera for video.

Rider do you have GO- PRO. Take a small sock and put it around it, all but the lens of course. And it cuts the wind noise in half and you can here the purring of your sohc4. Try it.

+1 on the wind noise reduction. Even a piece of foam taped over the tiny mic. opening will help with wind noise....... IMO the best 'on board' vids. show both clocks and the road ahead so you can see the angle of lean when going around curves and see the speed/rpm's too  ;) The worst are vids. that only show the road with no reference to the bike at all. Not worth looking at  :(

Hah, the sound of the motor and the gear changes would say oh uh 200mph+ but he must be going what, maaaaaybe 50mph?

That is the POV I prefer in NFSU2, it handles better.  If you game and have not played NFSU2, your gay.  At least that is what the everclear is saying.  8)

Took the K4 out today for a 260 mile round trip to Western Mass. This photo shows the bike at Montague Bookstore located next to a river - a large rambling bookstore with a cool cafe that sells great food and beer. Sat outside in the sunshine and had lunch surrounded by young hot students studying ;). Located in Montague MA which is surrounded by amazing twisty country roads!



Next stop was Shelburne Falls and the Flower Bridge (and old trolley bridge (last used as that in 1927) and now converted into a walk-through garden.



and my fellow rider for the day (riding a Honda Shadow)



cheers
Andy
