I can't believe you just said that... and in MY blog no less.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Seriously, that's... sad. They're good to go within 10 minutes of application... wait a week? WTF?

I washed my LS650 the day after I applied mine, and then waxed right over it. Just made it stick that much better... wait a week... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

You'll play it safe for keeping decals on your bike, but when it comes to personal safety, you ignore everything said. Bravo!

I call 1400 miles before the 750 is wadded up.

You're a riot. You're ignoring the engine break-in period, having a TRE installed because for some reason a GSX-R750 doesn't haul your inexperienced, 120 pound self up to 100mph fast enough, and are clutchless shifting already... but you're going to play it safe and let decals dry for a week. WTF?!

I'm convinced you just post this weird stuff on purpose and get a rise out of the responses. No way any sane person posts the things you do on purpose. :frusty:

Sev: are those the stock tires on your bike? I saw KarateChick's post in the main subforum and those don't appear to be the Michelin Pilot Roads that came on my bike, from the factory.
