22 doesnt get really good until you get past I75.
the best time, at least that I have seen is Saturday or Sunday afternoons. We are out there about every other Sunday, and there is usually a couple dozen sportbikes out there, and 80% are the same people everyweekend. be cautious, its some agressive riding, and its easy to get in over your head out there. run it several times at a very relaxed pace, there are some corners and geography you just have to know about, becuase if you haul ass into one of the some of them, it will freak you out if your not ready.
I took 22 the second week I had my bike, and promptly had one of those moments, and over the embankment I went. luckily I just landed in some guys field, had I been about 15ft over, I would have smacked a tree dead on.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I also have the same Yellow 06 and I have considered doing the split-seat conversion. Great looking ride.

I'm not one to get in over my head. I ride within my own limits since I'm fairly new at this. I have been on a few rides and didnt feel comfortable with what the guys with me were doing so I just lay back. I respect the bike and value my ass over my pride =).
Having said that I will run those roads alot over the next few weeks to get a feel for them. Sounds like a blast.
RojerLockless - Haha yes, yes she does !

For everyone thats PMed me about details I hope I answered your questions well enough. Here is a little how to here on this forum. Its in 2 parts and I used this alot.

Now this guy had some issues with the battery cable (negative) not reaching and the ECU mount but I didnt have that trouble. The ECU straps to the top of the battery box with the trunk strap rubber thingy.
Anyway hope this helps.

I was thinking about doing this also. I love how it looks, sort of like an rr. Anyway, did you relocate the key to pop the rear seat up? Curious because I didn't see a keyhole in the undertail so
