there were some choice words bluted out. It is still technically useable but......so pissed. I can't even blame anyone but me. I didn't have the bike secured properly.
I'm confused... You bashed the header on your bike, did it fall or? I'm lost.. haha

What kind of bike?

I have it on a rear stand and a front tipple stand (the kind with a peg up between the forks into the triple tree). Well, I'm changing the tripple tree out, among many other things, so i had to support the front without anthing to connect to. I thought I had it (all the fairing is off except the headlight cowling) but the rear stand rolled out and it slammed down on the header which is the lowest part of the bike when the fairing is off.

Lets suffice it to say, it's a crappy non-BMW
Here it was the last time it was all together:

Fun bikes. We had a black and gold '08 at the shop I used to work at. It had a power commander and Leo Vince pipes. It was ripper, needless to say.

08. There was no black and gold in 07. Most people don't even know how to differentiate down to that though!
It will look quite different when it's back together again.
Yeah I was going off the body style, didn't know that about the colors..
I'm kind of obsessed with Ducati superbikes.. I'll probably pick up a 1098s next year

Yeah ducatis are beautiful bikes. I'm an inline 4 fan, and always had a hard on for R1's. Really sucks that it's been down all season so far. Got the triple mosly mounted last night, but I have to fabricate a tool to tighten the inner nut. Not tight enough.

I like almost anything on two wheels. I've had 3 Hondas (F2, F4i, 600rr), and I've ridden my brothers Buell XB9r a lot, as well as my 1507cc Victory

V-twins just do it for me, I like the noise and relatively flat power band. The top end rush of I4s is awesome, the 06 1000rr I rode was devastatingly fast.. I'm pumped that with the release of the 1199, the 1098 should start dropping in price pretty darn soon!
Whats wrong with the R1? I know you had the exhaust pipe issue, any mechanical things wrong?

Nothing is 'wrong' with it, just went a little overboard with the modifications and have very little time to work on it. Now a bunch of things have gotten out of hand, wrong stuff etc, so it's been dragging.
