New front tire for the Monster - the old one started buckling a bit after about 6k miles. Bike's at 29,550 miles. Pirelli Diablo Rosso III ~$150 for the tire and $60 for the install. Ready for scrubbing. :)

28k
No big updates. Bike hit 28,700 miles. I expect the service light will come on in another couple of thousand miles. Added a couple of carbon pieces to it. Been riding it a bit more this season with a few all day rides and it continues to run along.

Drip, drip
Even though we are in the midst of winter, I start up the bike every few weeks. On one of the last start ups, noticed a small drip of oil by the clutch cylinder - a known issue with these bikes. Given it hasn't happened in the 11 years, not a surprise. Took it in to the shop where I was expecting a hefty bill, but it was essentially a 5 min job. The cylinder still looked ok - the seals on the shaft that runs through the engine to the clutch cylinder seemed to be leaking - so a quick replacement of the seals and so far (and keeping fingers crossed) no signs of oil. Cost $10. :)
