Went to Sunshine Coast for a few days, the roads there were amazinggg. Put 500km on the bike in 4 days and learned a lot about body positioning in corners. Good thing a bunch of my friends started riding early this year haha
Shittiest part was the ferry on the way back. We were told to go to the back of the ferry with almost no spots for our bikes, this one guy that we didn't know parked his bike against the railing in a way that none of us could fit our other 3 bikes there. Ferry crew told us to just park it and chok it, so we did. 10 minutes later we get called back down to find that our bikes (in gear and choked) had moved several feet. My friend's bike actually moved a good 3 car lengths and scraped another car.
Amazingly, none of our bikes fell, ferry crew blamed us even though they told us to park our bikes like that. Pretty choked, my freshly painted piece got wrecked by that wooden block.
Scratch on the ground from my kickstand, thankfully another passenger of the ferry was nearby and jumped on my bike to save it from going anywhere further. My friends' kickstand mark was a good 10x longer than this lol. At least I can repaint this myself I guess.
Replaced the tank grips and protector that the bike came with
Before
After
The typical ebay protector because I really disliked the black and red one it originally came with
Aand will be installing my Galfer brake lines and flushing the brake fluid with Motul 5.1 tomorrow! The "gold" matches my "gold" wheel stripe, which really is just a slightly darker yellow lol
