Finally got the ole girl outta the garage to shake her down for my very first track date next Fri, it's been almost 9months since I rode my FZ-07 since the FJ-09 made a home in my garage... totally forgot how much engine braking this bike has and im loving the new Q3 tires grip and sidewall stability... I missed the sound of the little -07 motor, its like an exotic euro V8 tone ..now I'm totally in deep debate on rather I should leave the FZ-07 at home and bring the new girl since I need to reset the FZ-07 suspension again for the new tires when the new girl is 95% ready to go, just need to apply some tape and pull the center stand...

30mph over.. and I was most likely doing more. stupid Canadian model bikes can't change to MPH but US models can.. retarded. cop took almost 10 mins to catch up but was super nice about it all.

myrcode - A helmet mount would probably be best since you're body is pretty much vibration free. A handlebar or windscreen mount is going to show every bump and vibration.

First scent of real summer so went for a 450 km round trip together with my son on his Honda. Temps between 21 and 28 Celsius. Lots of gnarly, winding roads taken at a leisurely pace.

Fuel stabilizer for the summer hibernation. Pulled the accessory plug to fashion a splitter so I can power both the TPMS and my USB port.

I fondled them all.  Been waiting on the R1 rear shock to return from Aftershocks so I am starting late the winter maintenance.   DRZ will be put up for sale soon, CT200 is in the midst of being restored, the little cateye pocket bike is ready for my race mangers son to terrorize on.  Right now, its awesome here in the PNW, enjoying the back yard waiting to rip the canyons on the FZ in the AM..... Honey Do's are completed I even went shopping with her so I got my ticket punched for Monday ;)

Took a little ride through the mountains, bout 90 miles round trip.  Had to test out the new tires (Shinko Verge) and I am quite impressed.  Especially for the price, they get my recommendation.

^ lol! What do you mean, what do I mean? The thread is "What did you do to your Yamaha FZ-07 today?" , not what did you do on your FZ-07 today so I'm wondering what you did to your bike. You haven't said anything about what you've done to your bike. Maybe you misread the title??? IDK. Nice pics btw!

@hpclayto - What windscreen did you put on your bike? I really like how it looks.
 

Installed my fender eliminator and my windscreen. Realized the flush mount signals I ordered probably aren't going to work with the windscreen.

Aaah, yes, what some have referred to as, "The Conquistador!". Fitting I think, since the FZ-07 conquers.

Got a link for those cool lights, Johny? I'm curious, what are the laws where you're at for using fog lamps? Can you use them any time or does it have to be foggy or raining when you use them? The reason I ask is an X supervisor of mine in Tehas got a ticket for using his when it was clear out.

A beautiful sunny day so I decided to finally wash off 6 months of top to bottom winter parkade powdered dust/dirt, also cleaned and waxed the chain/sprocket. Finished off by detailing it up all nice and pretty with some plastics wax.  The entire time I was anticipating a nice ride to blow off any excess water and furthermore try out the new Motoport pants, Shoei Neotech and Iasus x3 speakers and also give the Hordpower filter a really good run, but of course I was hit with the ol' classic "Instant prairie driving wind and rain storm."
 
Not cool Jesus/Zeus/Odin/Surupa or whichever of you is responsible.  Most displeased!!! >:D   Perhaps you were saving me from something drastic out there today.... I'll chock it up to that....still displeased.
