The first thing that went through my mind when I lowsided (besides checking my wounds) was, "OH NO! THERE GOES MY NEW WHEELS AND OHLINS..." Man I was sweating it! But lucky me, there isn't one scratch on them. I was sweating it!

The Sunday ride was actually the first ride that I was able to stretch the engine out some and attack some corners. Of course the bad part was that it was the first ride on my newly installed Ohlins. I pushed a little too hard of course. It was also the FIRST day I got to ride on the new OZ's as well so I'm ecstatic that they were untouched.

About the new color scheme: I'm wanting to paint it a flame/orange/red with black. I am considering this color off the new Hayabusa - http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/GSX1300RK8. I've always had great luck riding light colored bikes and this paint is pretty nice in person. I'll have to get busy with some Photoshop tools.
