    Just a spot where you can let it all out! Let me start, I have abused my Firebolt this season I have only rode it once since the cold weather has set in. I know its wrong and I usually ride until it gets below 30 but I got used to heat. I hope she forgives me and treats me right when I break her back out!

    I'm awesome.

    And I've been lazy about getting my engine work done quickly.

    I stripped my xb9 down to the cases, replaced the trans output shaft bearing and put it all back together over the Christmas break. Only got one ride in since then though, between salt on the roads and crap weather, it's not worth risking it.


    Only built 7 exhaust systems so far this year, so averaging 2/week is ok I guess.

    Had a week out for my mom's funeral. :(

    I have mine jacked up in the garage in a way that is very unstable.

    I don't think I give my XB9S enough time to warm up before I hop in and take off. And I have to confess that yesterday I ran it up to 5.5k in 1st after it had only been running less than a minute.

    ^ I worry about the warm-up time too. Never start riding right away... but rarely let it sit and idle and extended amount of time either. i do take it really easy for the first couple blocks.
