They are perfect for when you pull up looking like Sanford and Son

Took Bubbles to "Femwalla". Its an all girl track day at the VERY nice Chuckwalla Raceway. Wow! 53 girls, some new riders, and a whole lot of them were FAST. It was really inspiring to see these ladies hauling butt and (ahem) not one single red flag all day, lol. Us guys have some lessons to learn.

They hosted a nice dinner that night and a big raffle! Guess who won THREE more track days? Add that to the 4 pack we EACH bought at the IMS show and thats, uh... a lot of track days coming. Holy lord we'll be busy. I might as well get my WERA racers license (if I can keep the rubber down). Ol' high side Cooter better learn how to ride.
Riding on that high, Bubbles went over to Kawasaki and fell for the Ninja 400 she's been test riding. She likes the R-3 she's been renting, but LOVES the 400. Over 2 days(!) we got screwed around at the dealer so bad we walked out. What a shame. I know there isn't much profit margin on a little bike like that but we went in prepared to pay MSRP and couldn't even do that. All the games they play are so stupid. Oh, THAT one on special we texted you about yesterday isn't here, THIS ones on special for only $500 more, Oops! it's listed wrong, but THIS one is (for $1000 more) UGH! Can she just PAY for it and go home??

But she did get a call back two days later with an apology from the GM of Del Amo motorsports. I have been buying bikes from there since the 90's and TWO locations ago... with mixed results and never got treated this well.
he said the bike was indeed listed wrong (as on a rebate) on their website. He did the honorable thing and gave her the 2020 special color bike WITH the rebate She also qualified for 0%. Oh Hell yes, we'll be right there

At her first track day at Buttonwillow, Bubbles had won a dyno session at a local high end M/C shop and was generous enough to give it to me
The EBR has been running well but I took it just to double check the IDS tune (and my work, lol). The shop was nice and had the Holy Grail HP4, and some sick Panigales!

The results were 'surprising' and not in a good way

Runs smooth and strong. You can hear the exhaust popping on decel too. I know its a whole different part of the map than WOT, but it makes ya wonder.

If you can't read the pics, its about the HP I expected at 158 RWHP and a really, really nice curve, but WTH with the AFR at 18-22!?
