Hmmm...
Okay, you people obviously respond more favorably to posts about cute kitties...
Tough shit! Here's more motorcycle stuff!
I did the test pilot bit today, actually riding my motorcycle instead of working on it or talking about it.
First I hit these sweepers near my house:
Then I rode around Draper Lake, the only curves around here.
My impression of the changes?
In a word: "Wow."
In a similar word: "Ow."
It's very easy to initiate a turn now, as I'm perpetually perched on the verge of turning. It's a pretty aggressive seating position, and I can already tell that I'm going to have to build up my arms before I take any long road trips with this setup, it works a different set of muscles than I've been using. Surprisingly, it's not so uncomfortable on the highway as you might think. My elbows and knees are so close together that I can rest my elbows on my knees.
I've spent the last three nights working on my bike so it'd be ready today. I'll ride it to my doctor's appointment tomorrow for my infusion, and I needed to test it today before I rode it into the insane Oklahoma City traffic. Riding my motorcycle is the best part of an otherwise shitty day.
Since you've read this far and waded through the motorcycle stuff, I shall now reward your patience with pictures of cats:

You are pretty much a renaissance man in the DIY realm then, eh?
