Man... I'm so envious. That bike is sOOo sick. If I wasn't married to my wife, I'd own that same exact bike. Take some nice pics of it and share dude. Better yet, ride it to the SFBAAPS Plant Swap tomorrow so I can do a photoshoot for you.

Thanks, guys.

Here's the bike actual.


This photo was taken with camera settings for tank photography. The light looks decidedly 10,000k, don't it?


In the second photo, I want you to notice something. Look behind the bike. Look at the sky. That, my friends, is motorcycle-riding weather!
My life is in no way blessed -- I've had my share of f---ed up crap happen -- but sometimes things just click and I just know that I am, from time to time...
One.
Lucky.
S.O.B.
The day'll probably be about sixty-seven degrees -- not too hot or too cold to ride in gear.
Perfect weather, a new bike, and it's a Sunday.
You can't beat that.

Anyway, this post is decidedly off-topic so let me say something Riven-related.
It looks pretty much the same.

Just watch out for the a-holes in the 4-wheel vehicles.

I like your aquascaping, where did you get your rocks from? What type are they?

The bonsai store is on the left inside the doors. You can't miss it.
Although my advertising of the place as caused them to jack the price up from a buck-fifty a pound to two dollars a pound. I swear, some of the shops I mention in these journals should give me a cut.

Well, I just read through this again and didn't find much on you encountering algae, except some hair at the start and BGA once you filled. My tank has been sitting emersed with UG on ADA AS I for only 3 days and I'm starting to see what appears to be BGA (not really blue, but bright green spots on the leaves). I'm thinking about going submersed and just dumping loads of CO2 in the tank >.< If only I was as patient as you...I'll try to hold out.

Let the addiction begin.


I must say, don't start with mods until you are ready for another addiction even on top of riding! haha, great looking bike man, I'm positive you'll love it!

Ride the crap out of it and get out to the track! Let me know if you'll be doing any trackdays in the future. I think I'll be hitting buttonwillow at least once more before the year is over.

Again, Congrats! I know that after changing a few things on the bike to give it just the "look" I wanted, I am even more envious of it now than when I saw her on the showroom floor for the first time, can't help but stare at her sometimes lol.

BTW - Tank is looking great! Lol

-End rant - back on topic.

Don't even worry about humidity levels. As long as the tank's covered tightly, it'll take care of itself.
The simpler you keep it, the better off you'll be. Don't worry about giving it fresh air or CO2 or ferts or anything. Just plant it, cover it, occasionally mist it, and leave it the heck alone.

All my questions about planting UG emersed have just been answered in one simple post. Thanks.

Hey UG,

Did you spring for the C-ABS linked braking system? I used to race moto-x, so I'm not opposed to back'n it in on a bike once in a while, but Honda's new ABS looks sweet, especially on wet roads.

Good ride'n to you,
-Rick

Doesn't look like it from the pics he posted, although its hard to tell for sure.

I've been craving to try out the ABS on one of these things on the street, have heard nothing but good things about it for street riding.

Do you also own a CBR, Rick?

We need to start a motorcycle club in off-topic or something, lol!

I have a feeling we'll be seeing less of UG and I can imagine a screeching halt on any new tank additions, other than little stuff here and there.
