+1 on everything you've said, really. But I can't tell you how much money I've actually ended up spending on gear, it's ridiculous. And trackdays are SO much fun. I've been considering racing school and racing a 650 in the lightweight twins class, but I am likely going to wait until I can get a job and be located.

If you can, take the class (MSF). I forget where you're located, but some states offer it for free. Even if you don't plan to ride or buy a bike ever/anytime soon, I think it's something everyone should do. Half because I think everyone should realize what goes into riding a motorcycle before they buy one, and the other half so that people realize that there motorcyclists out there.

Got bike checked out today, got new tires and fluids through out the entire bike. Feels so smooth now, helped the clutch alot.

Guy was jelly when he saw mileage and then i told him how much i got it for

Started my clutch replacement last night, I hope I can finish it today.

The blower motor on my car went out. The process to replace it is horrendous. People use to joke that volvo hung the blower motor from a string on the factory line, and then built the car around it. -_-

Haha, sometimes I wonder the thought process of design when I'm working on my car.

Clutch is in, tranny is back on, couple more things to button up in the morning and then we'll see if I did it right.

Yeah, the 240's are SOOOO easy to work on, with the exception of the blower motor. Makes you think, "WHY?"

vlc my.avi -V aa
vlc my.avi -V caca

those arguments will cause vlc to open your video (replace "my.avi") in an ascii rendering mode. aa = black and white ascii, caca = color ascii.

Clutch pedal is really soft. I've bled it 3 times with no change.
