Any of you guys go out today?, I was out from 11 to 12:30-ish, went to shediac and barachois, only met up with an R1 in Shediac but i did see another RC in Dieppe at around 3:30 while i was driving into work,
Fawk it felt good to be out today...
and man I have yet to lift the front wheel off myself, still being a bit cautious, but that'll probly pass soon
Ya I know the pics suck but its still proof. Ive now ridden an RC51. First impression is I cant wait till it warms up here. Its going to be a fun summer. Now I need to get the ergonomic bugs out of her and fix the darn speedo healer. It was off a ton. I saw 330km/h on it once. My DK bars need a lot of tweaking. The seat is a rock, suspension felt great. Power is all over the place and she pulls nice with the 15/43 gear. The sato lows are not loud at all driving the bike, my girlfriend said it was nice and loud out behind. Shes not a motorcycle person and she even loved the sound. Cant see behind very well in the mirrors, half my shoulders,half the road. Brakes are super. The cool factor is off the charts, especially at stop lights. Its way more bike than I can handle right now. Its been five yrs since Ive ridden a bike but I wont let that happen again with this bad boy sitting in the garage. Basically, as if you cant tell, I love my RC51.
I did loft the front wheel about two feet , 2 times in first
About 40 degrees f last weekend. I went for a one hr ride and the next day I swear I was in a fight. When it warms up and I get to ride this thing a little more im sure Ill loose weight. Sure beat the gym. Ive had many bikes and never got the attention this gets. Im hooked.
Well I have about 600km on the RC under my belt now. Why, why,why did I wait this long to get one of these bikes? I was hooked after the first frozen ride. The inliner 4 guys just drool all over the RC every time im out. Its funny, they look in amazement until you notice them staring then they look away, lol. After the first ride I figured I would never need the soft rev, wrong, I've been regularly bouncing it off the limiter in 1st and 2nd but the 43 tooth rear has got to go for street use. Im dropping back to 15/40 as soon as its time for new rubber which wont be long now. RC's are rear tire shredders. To anyone thinking of getting one of these , do it now!
sweet!! Im spoiled living in florida. Use the search function to look up the reviews/how toos about the speedohealer and soft rev kits. again welcome !!
Im in NB Canada, they are calling for 10 to 15 cm (4" to 6") of snow here tonight. Im up on the soft rev and allready have the speedohealer installed. She all metric all the time up here. I hit some twisty back roads last week. Now I know what Honda was up to when they built the RC. I do believe im going to need some pucks on my knees. Heaven for bid , I may even have to find a racetrack around here, what have I done????????
well pay for the amazing weather with straight and flat sandy roads, great for a busa or a zx14. I pretty much ride all year, except when it dips into the 30's and 40's during the 4 weeks of winter. Be safe and there are is no contingency money at the end of the ride! As for a track, you may need to take some vaca time and hit up a few in the states!!

Hey Matt what roads were you on around this area that you can drag your knee on? All ready for the snow?
In back of Peticodiac through to Wheaton Sett. Nice twisty fairly smooth but way to short. Right now the farmers are spreading manure.
Only got a skiff of snow last night here. Cold and rain forecast till next teusday. You can have that 43 rear Dev soon if you want it, im doing tires in a couple of weeks if we ever get some riding weather so I can finish off these 014's. I like the 15/43 but its a little too short for my liking. Im trying the 15/40 next. Couldn't find a 190/55 pilot in town. Going to try a pirelli 190/50 on the rear and a pilot on the front.
today was good
Crappy pics
