Oh, is that *your* bike?

It's pretty sick. I'd ride that. Great work.

Kinda funny that you still have stock calipers, though, haha.

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

....your quick to laugh at somesones build arent you?

If you looked into the build of the bike, the guy is from Dubai so maybe his access to parts or his knowledge is not up to your standard...maybe his funds are limited?

So NO... it is not my bike, just an interesting post.

Hey, I'm not making fun. It's an amazing bike. It just strikes me as an odd irony; as poor as I am, and as limited as my skills and knowledge are, that's the only 'upgrade' I've purchased: R6 blue spots. This guy is obviously leagues ahead of me in everything, but after all that work, he has left the stock calipers on. Tell me that's not at least a little funny?

To each their own sense of humor, I guess. Meant no disrespect to the guy.

Fin,
I suggest you start planning an excursion to Dubai to apologize in person.

We expect a FULL travel report, of course.

Have you ever read "Investment Biker" by James Rogers? I think you'd find it a very interesting read.

Cheers!
