Hello all, fng here. I am a rider of a '01 Kawa ZX9R (pics later). Been in TX since '05 and am embarrassed to say I only have about 8k miles on my bike. In my defense, I have been on a few extended trips for my job in the past eight years. Three year-long stints in the "sand" and one year in the "mountains". I found this forum while researching another bike, just got a '05 Yamaha TW200. But that one is honestly for my child to ride to school.
Also, want to post these "Motorcycle Superstore" coupons before they expire. Please follow and post any coupons that you will not be able to use and save a fellow rider some cash.

10% off EBC brakes: M165-EBC-hausen exp 10/11
10% off order: AVYO95 exp 11/2
10% off order: AUSEXR exp 11/2

Got these after an order to get the TW on the road, hope someone can use them.

Welcome to Two Wheeled Texans. Enjoy the sage advice, and tall tales. No worries about the miles, they'll come when you're ready.

Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Welcome.

Sounds like you're in my line of work as well as having a common last ten years.. storing bikes for a year at a time every 12 months.
