well hey the fish tank is in the picture so who cares what else is in the room.
Is the tank that un-level?

Alright tires are back on, and until they are broken in, I feel like midget. I was going to get her in the garage after the tires, but we got a ton of snow with more to come. Looks like it will have to wait awhile.
The iPhone says the tank is leaning 1.8 degrees right, and 1.1 degrees back. Not terrible, but not good either.

This one? No. This is a 2004 Yamaha R6. My last bike was a 2005 R6. The 05' I had, another story.
In March of 06' I left at 6am for Ft Meyers FL to see my dad. Its 30F @ 6AM in Ohio. I get to southern Ky, nothing but black skies to my south, oh crap I think. It poured rain all thru Tn. At the Ga border the roads dry up, and the sun is out. I run 120-140Mph all the way thru northern Ga. I get to Atlanta wearing leathers top to bottom, soaking wet, its 80F and sunny. The 25Lb backpack I took weighed 40Lbs now, and my leathers an extra 40 or so from the water they soaked up (water proof my ***). I fight my way thru 3 hours of Atl traffic on 75. Make it to Ft Meyers @ 4Am, 22 hours later (a 14 hour car ride).
The ride home? Same freaking thing. Get to northern Ga, rain, rain, and more rain. Stayed the night in Knoxville, wake up, wet, raining, and 40F all the way to Cincy. I get to Cincy, and instantly its 60F and sunny. Weird as hell. Made no sense.
My neck still hurts. I thought I was the big man, going to beat the car time on a fast bike. Sadly I missed the fact that, A: I get 120 miles to the tank, B: I need to rest every 60 miles or so after the first 400-500, C: My Neck and back can only take so much.
Next time, its a three day trip lol.

its an 04 suzuki intruder 1400. Seems like it would be a pretty good bike to take a small roadtrip on. Lol, don't know about goin all the way to FL on a crotch rocket though. Sounds painful!

hubby likes the yamaha crotch rockets though, thats what he originally wanted to get, but gotta too good to pass up deal on the suzuki. He would love to have a hyabusa with a turbo (not sure bout the spelling), but that sounds a little crazy to me!
