The Big 40hhh

daemon · 08-21-2008

what a day to commemorate the big 40k mile marker for drago.

there is no better way to ring in an achievement than going to the track and whooping it out for some good fun!!!

took possesion of DRAGO on april 2nd of 2005.
alot has changed since then,but deep down it is still the same beast...

here's a pic of the bike when i came to visit colorado the first time.
nearly all stock.

but nowadays it looks completely different.

it is simply the most satisfying machine i have ever owned.....or ridden!!!

i've done my best to make it look specific to my taste and i think i have achieved that.

of course this winter(as usual) it will go through a few changes.

i'm holding that info to the side for now...
just have to wait to see....

hey, congrats on the milestone Mayo. you certainly have one of the finest examples of a "personalized" sportbike out there.

Can't wait to see what she looks like after her winter make-over.

daemon · 08-22-2008

thanks guys and gals....
here are a couple more from the track...
trip meter said i put on 42.9 miles for the day at the track....good fun

and a picture of poor graphix who decided to test out his mud tires

he was fine and soon went back out for more fun.

NCDave · 08-22-2008

Ok, I just gotta say that I am TOTALLY disappointed with this thread on several levels.

First of all, who posts a picture of their odo hitting a milestone and DOESN'T post a picture of himself and the bike in the location where it happened???? Geez....do you have NO forum etiquete?

Second, I hate the title of this thread. I was expecting to see some VERY LARGE "glands"! :whock:

Congrats Mikey....keep on ridin!!!!

c_law23 · 08-22-2008

congrats, what a milestone.

And beautiful bike as usual

i did....i did!!!

i reached that mark after about 8 laps around the track almost as soon as i arrived.
this was however all planned.
i avoided riding on wednesday just so i could take that pic at that location..

daemon · 08-22-2008

MY BAD.
i actually fudged the date!!
fixed it.
took possesion aon april 2nd 2005...

bennice · 08-26-2008

I hadn't seen this thread till just now. Congrats on the milestone, Mike!

You definitely have one of the most personalized sport bikes I've ever seen, and you've done a great job with it. Because of you, whenever I see a Z1000, I'll always associate it with "daemon" and will use the drago as the basis of comparison.

The track looks like fun too! I soooooooo want to join you sometime before the season is over...and hopefully avoid the mud pit!

I do the same thing, Ben. I tell Darrell, "Look! There's Mike's bike!"

daemon · 08-26-2008

thanks ben...
the track is more fun than you could imagine...

did you ever get new shoes for the 10???
