It’s time for Bike Of The Month again, submit your pictures in this thread. One picture of your motorcycle on a ride somewhere in April, in horizontal format. I’ll consider the last picture posted by each member for the vote, which will start on the 28th, probably end of day.

While waiting for someone with a compressor to be available I removed the SAS and the EPC fittings from the bike, cleans up the look without all those hoses going everywhere and doing nothing, was very satisfying, tell you what though, its rather cool on the garage, bloody 17C, I am writing a stern letter to the Prime Minister about it. Found a pic of the garage before I tidied it up, looks much better now. And a bonus moose of a size that Marcel can probably handle withoput to much assistance from Billy Bob. Why would I disable the EPC system? The EPC system reduces engine performance in 2nd/3rd gear and is only there to meet emissions requirements. Why would I disable the SAS? The SAS works together with the catalytic converter in the exhaust cans, also to reduce emissions. If you have aftermarket cans it is pointless and can cause problems. Removing the SAS is not recommended with standard cans. Why would I remove all of this stuff rather than just disable it? Because it is unnecessary, ugly, messy, restricts access to the engine, and because it is something else to go wrong, something else you won't have to consider if you do have problems. The repair manual actually warns that the EPC valves will malfunction if they are exposed to vibration.

Gone too soon...

After recharging the battery, decided to have another go up Clark Cr. rd this morning. It was great to find that the road got a lot closer to the creek as I went along. The weather was just about perfect....& I knew we were due for a bit of rain tomorrow, so I'm glad I chose today for this exploration. As I was looking for photo op's, I passed through a coupla farms where there was cattle in fenced fields on both sides of the road....& of course there was a few strays that were feeding on vegetation on the edge of the road....didn't stop for them, but they were sure checking this oddball dude passing by on 2-wheels....lol I was feeling pretty stoked & blessed, the farther I went, that I picked such a beautiful place to move to almost 5 yrs. ago now. I ended up riding about 6+ miles out before my lame-ass feet started giving me some grief....(MRSA is such a Bitch)....so a return ensued. After all, I still had the never-ending yard work & back yard to mow before the liquid sunshine shows up. Did almost 15 miles & felt pretty good overall.

Hair!..I have hair!....Thanks @Six30

Real bikes don't have center stands.

Agreed, is that why you have always had one on all of your bikes?

I feel your pain there. In a fit of enthusiasm 12 years or so ago I built a deck, couldn't afford hardwood for the under the deck bit, now I have to pull a third of it up every 2-3 years to replace the bits that have gone rotten. Pain in the arse.

Maybe they are cautious around Mexican immigrants.
