Hi All,

I just signed on as a new member, so I wanted to say hello, and introduce. :chug:
I have a '00 Daytona 955i. Bought it new in '00, then shortly after that, wound up moving to Japan and putting it in storage. It's still minty new, with just over 3000 miles on it.
I've been back home for over a year now, but am just getting around to dusting off the bike and getting the cobwebs out (literally...). It's been a really hot summer here anyway, too hot to ride most of the time.

The bike as a few mods on it:
- Rizoma rearsets and sproket cover
- South Bay Triumph underseat pipe with carbon can (loud as H*LL, and shoots out big blue balls of flame when it backfires, so I've been told)
- SkyKing crash bobbins and vent screen/ seat quick release kit
- TBR clip-ons
- Double Bubble windscreen

Next additions:
- Tuneboy
- Sprocket change (I don't need to go 160, but I do need to drive it in traffic...)
- Tires
- Corbin seat

Anyway, I live pretty close to the Rock Store and all the amazing canyons in the Santa Monica mountains, so I hope to run into any locals when I'm up there.
