Grinding 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago

After almost 6000 miles on my R*, I finally put a floorboard on the ground.

Took a left turn a little fast to make the green light and drug it pretty good. A good thing I took a leak before I left the house since I wasn't carrying clean underwear. I used to grind the boards regularly on my Shadow but I wasn't expecting it this time. It was so much fun that I did it again on my way home from work. Got both sides in the s curve interstate on ramp!
