I know my bike isn't considered "cool" but damn she looks good after a spa day post riding thru muddy terrain. While I can admit the V4S might be sexier... the S1KRR is definitely "wifey" material

I like the Panigale but I should make you eat my chicken strips for calling the S1 "wifey material"... v

I know my Chicken Strips are pretty robust.... aaannnd I won't make any excuses other than the geographical location I maneuver thru isn't challenging at all. Good thing I do the California Super Bike School annually to keep the cornering skills sharp, lol

Nothing wrong with that. I have some pretty meaty chicken strips on my K67 too. I think I may have hit 40 degrees of lean angle once before on the street. But it's just too irresponsible to do that in a crowded metro area; even if I take my riding through the country/mountains.

I also save my cornering escapades for when I do my annual CSS track sessions. Posted up a pic of me hitting my all time best of 52 degrees of lean angle a few posts back.

Also, it's rare to have essentially a totally unmolested K67 such as yours. LOL. I haven't dropped a flash tune on my bike yet. But I've done Akra headers, Lightech rear sets and chain adjusters, GB racing engine covers, and R&G sliders/bar ends.

Thanks, man. I know the more "immature " crowd thinks the thinner the chicken strips the better the rider... but over the years (over a decade) I've been in the saddle, I've learned that you gotta ride the track. Some corners invite some awesome leans, then most urban infrastructure just doesn't facilitate leans that scrub off chicken strips. I'm WAY beyond trying to talk trash at the gas station. I just dust 'em off when splitting lanes in dense traffic with all the distracted drivers concerned about chicken strips, lol
Regarding the mods... I've wanted to do some customization, but between traveling for work and the potential reveal of the 100 year anniversario next year.... I'm saving my pennies

Your picture exceeded the 1600px maximum vertical size. That's why the system changed it from portrait to landscape. FYI.

No idea how I missed this thread! Mini intro: Long time rider, now relapsing back into an m-car(again). Sold 4 wheel vehicle couple months ago so I’m primarily on 2 wheels while I wait. The current stable is a T7, a lowrider s, and a Pan America.

Motorcyclist/ (moh-ter-sy-klist) noun...

A person willing to take a container of highly flammable liquid, place it on top of a hot engine mounted between two wheels and then put the whole contraption under their ass and ride down the road with a smile on their face.
