[QUOTE="ChrisW, post: 141904, member: 585"] I think the guy on the left was on an FZ1. Broke a chain in Las Vegas after hitting a retread. I'm on the right. Of the remaining 5, 3 were in the top ten at the end. Must be the bike, eh... :) My 05 knows it was treated badly. She made it the last 1K, plus the 1.8K home sounding like it was going to swallow an exhaust valve. An FJR pilot and rally volunteer was trying to make a recording of the poor thing at the final check-in. I think he was surprised it was still running. I guess I was too after removing my ear plugs. Holy crap. A new spark plug and some oil without 10K on it in Des Moines helped, but I think it needs another new head. Yes, another new head. I'll try to recall enough detail to do a ride report at somepoint. The quick and dirty, I rode hard, could have ridden harder. I took to many fun roads to win, and the points I left on the table on the last leg would have placed me higher in the final standing's. This is not really fair to the other's that did place higher however. A lot of people lost points at scoring. Later. [/QUOTE]
