Opened up my bike for the first time.
11/01/10 at 21:39:43
I finally opened up my bike today and "cleaned" out the air filter. All I did was spray some of that compressed air in a can over the filter, and then tapped all the loosened dust out. The filter was pretty clean in the first place, but I did it more of as a way to get familiar with my bike.
It took a week of finding the right time, and buying all my tools, before I could finally do this. I feel a lot more confident about doing maintenance on my '06 S-40 though, now that I've done something once.

I mean, is there some kind of recorder in the bike that tells you the maximum speed it's gone?

Not on the bike, no, but a cop can help with that.

Don't bet heavily they don't make "black boxes" for bikes. All it requires is flash memory in the ABS and/or engine management computers, for those bikes with fuel injection. Honda already has an air bag on one of their Gold Wings, and air bag triggering is one of the events the "black box" is designed to store. Add an impact sensor and/or a bank angle sensor to "freeze" the data, and you have it. Many bikes already have the bank angle sensor, used to shut down the engine if the bike falls over.

And that is why I bought a simple Savage, in an attempt to keep electronics out.

Yet even the Simple Savage has electronic ignition and an electronic voltage regulator.

I have an app on my Blackberry called GPS tracker. It records average speed, maximum speed, traveled distance, time traveled and even tracks the route traveled on a map. It also does current speed, but I didn't wanna check current speed on a phone while riding. So one time I tested it on the superslab, started recording before I left and cracked it open for just a little while and reached an indicated almost 90mph before I let off. She was still going. When I came home and checked the data, it showed that I reached a maximum of 88mph. Next time I go, I start the recording and see what she can do and let her fly. Seems the speedo is dead on.
