Why exactly do you need more power from your 1000RR on your daily drive? I usually add 62% 93 Octane/17% Shredded Owner's Manual/18% Troll Jizz. Yesterday on the way to work, I got 87 mpg.

Another Fav.

As does Jesus. Jesus also love Velociraptors.

Counter steer 101 real quick... You push the left bar away from you, you turn RIGHT. You push the right bar, you turn LEFT. COUNTER is the key word... Also, when at full lean, if you remotely start "thinking" about what to do, you are going to wad your shit up yet again. But, the fact is that you can see the results of counter steer in cool race shots. Watch the bike come out of a turn. Which way does the front wheel turn when they are doing a power wheelie? It is counter from the direction they were going. Coming out of a left hander, the wheel is pointing right. Again, this is something I HATE TO NO END when riders like the OP that have literally less ability than most the younger kids I watch ride and yet, we are preaching some seriously advanced things to be thinking about. STOP READING TWIST OF THE WRIST II. There are great things that are basic and truly something more advanced riders can and probably should read and watch. BUT, SOMEONE NEW DOES NOT NEED TO READ THIS STUFF!!! You have way too much to process and reading and then trying to apply when you are riding is really dumb.

And here I thought he was one of those animatronic things, like the band at chucky cheese.

What is the last 3%? Magic? Unobtainium? The tears of starving children?

T-Mobile spokeswoman Carly Foulkes, leather and a Ducati, I likey very much! Good going T-Mobile! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OIWfmjnJPs&sns=em

^I know right

Holy shit! I.....I.....holy shit.

I'll take 4 please

This car is the Swinger version LOL Next one you have to take a pic with a car worth at least $80k.

STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT A METAPHOR WILL NEVER QUANTIFY COMPREHENSION BY LIGHT YEARS

Did you know Dick Goddard spontaneously formed when a freak radioactive lightning storm in 1806 struck a colony of 1562 Woolly Bears that mutated into an immortal humanoid-meteorologist? x 1562 =

as long as dick goddard never dies, my faith in immortality as a goal will remain strong.

I hate when I hear people say "I don't believe in the national anthem" That gets me fired up because even though im not in the military a lot of my family is and it's disrespectful.

I have a photo from jbot's first race . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . . . . . . .

Blaming islam for the deeds of terrorists is as stupid as blaming christianity for the deeds of the wbc.

Grab a bugle, head to the east side...start playing colors outside of the playground during recess...you'll lose all faith again, I'm just sayin... Another thing that always amazes me...people who don't know to take their hat off during the National Anthem. Are you fucking serious!! Take your God damn hat off for 30 fucking seconds!!

blind squirrel, nut, etc...

I say we need "mind your own fucking business" laws. A lot of the issues this country is facing would be resolved.

I have no problem with those who choose not to own firearms. Why, then, do those same people have a problem with me for owning firearms? I thought you liberals were supposed to be open and accepting of everyone? We're not forcing our lifestyle on you. Why try to force yours on us?

This may ultimately prove to be the idea of the century eventually - seems the safest route, unless the seeds you procure are already a tainted strain? Then you just end up breeding your own private little garden of cancerous goodies Almost a tabloid type ploy to gain viewership? HOW DARE THEY!! Internet's like TV.....hits are "ratings" right? I especially like this caption from the article.... 'Tar balls in their crab traps' Provocative stuff

The Rep is flowing

Yup. Magz, you're out of your mind. Fox News I'll give you, but the rest swing 180 degrees. I don't see CNN and MSNBC covering this. I don't see Obama on TV talking about it. Don't try to play the politics game here man. Both sides are ignoring this issue like a red-headed step child.

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself! They are the American people's Liberty Teeth and keystone under Independence. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere, restrains evil interference -- they deserve a place of honor with all that's good!"--President George Washington, in a speech to Congress. 7 January, 1790 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed."--Exodus 22:2 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are safe." -Luke 11:21 "Jesus said, 'But now whoever has a purse or a bag, must take it and whoever does not have a sword must sell his cloak and buy one.'" -Luke 22:36

I guess we're finding out that oil & water don't mix so well after all.

You need one of these. http://www.compliancesigns.com/NHE-16347.shtml

Damn you... You just inceptioned me. mmmmmmm Lunch. Oh yeah, the bike looks amazing.

What I don't understand is why was there a bear in the kitchen?

No. It explains why I eat so much pasta. So I can feel fat and have a reason to buy another one

Ahh that explains why you buy so many

Ive been waiting to see how this thread turned out.. Kinda sad actually considering not one person said the obvious which is. No one gives a shit about your hd enough to forensically recover it!! Youre paranoia is probably associated with the fact that you have pronz of some sort on your drive that could get you in trouble.

I buy guns when I'm depressed or feeling fat.... much like women buying shoes. I have them for protection too, who's gonna fuck with a naked midget half covered in jello with a gun in each hand?

Yeah what that jackass said. ^^^^

I know I obviously havent got all the factors down, never claimed to. I know its not a car, but thats the only way I can explain what I felt happen. I know I need msf/brc, but I also need money for rent/food/gas/bills its not the price of the class that matters to me. $25 is pocket change compared to the $320 I lose for taking the time off work and I support a family of 4 all by myself. Ya I know what your gunna say to that comment... I have to do what I have to do and cant always do what I want to do. im trying to.work it out to fit in a time/date to do my classes, but its hard when you work all day every day and im not even sure how my sats are gunna pan out right now. I told my boss im not working sat/sun anymore unless im pulling a double shift. He is gunna continue to double me on Sundays and he was thinking about giving me sats.off instead of having.me double on sats from now on cuz I was only working a norm shift on Saturday, which isnt even worth my time. So once I find out if im gunna be working sats or not ill be able to do some scheduling for my classes

I'll give you some ammo Magz. When i was little I remember my dad taking down a wild dog that was eating our chickens. He was using an old bolt action .22 shooting downhill with open sights at a dog running full tilt diagonally across our property. He took one shot and scored a head shot at just under 100 yards. Since then I've wanted to shoot that well. I haven't achieved it yet. As an avid hunter in his youth he had a talent. He put that talent to good use when he volunteered and did 3 tours in Vietnam as a Marine Grunt. Hes probably killed more people than most of us have seen this week. I joined the Corps because of him. I fucking love that guy. Oh and my 14 year old has better groups than me most days. He's going to be a killer as well.

Dude, you don't get it. The gear you were in at 10 mph doesn't allow for slipping. There is not enough power under the load you are giving the bike. The motor at 10 mph in 5th gear is at such a low rpm that you could literally grab and twist the throttle to the stop and it will most likely bog so badly and damn near stall that it will not slip. You don't "slip" the rear and fall. You can spin the rear, grab traction and get spit off. That happens. You crashed WAY early according to the pic. That tells me you panic and grab brakes and lost it. No offense, but you telling me how to take a turn is somewhat funny... 25 mph turn on your bike in 3rd vs 2nd is minimal. The thing you are not understanding about your bike is the revs and getting the most out of that motor. The rpms need to be higher to get the power to the ground on a 250. Their redline is SUPER high and they run like sewing machines. At 25 mph and "traction" as you call it is going to be the same in both gears. How you handle the bike dictates how you apply that power and thus, the "traction" as you call it. You ham fist it in 2nd gear and do it wrong, you can spin the rear. You do it smooth, you can apply load and have good traction coming out on exit. If you shift up to 3rd, you can get the same traction, just will have to apply throttle and less brake and carry a higher corner speed. See what I mean? I can obtain the same level of traction and even possibly more at a higher gear. But, not in 5th. You lug the motor, you fail to apply efficient power to the rear wheel. Doesn't matter what you did, traction was traction. You couldn't have lost it on the rear with those elements... Either way, you don't understand how it is supposed to work. You need a class. You need to make time for a class or you are going to be a statistic. You arguing on "traction" is a sign that you need to get educated and understand how these things work. They are not cars, trucks, snowmobiles, etc. The gyroscopic effect of a motorcycle make it nothing like you already know. I'm not being mean to you, but I am getting a bit tired of reading the ill-educated responses. GET EDUCATED! Saturday. If you love your family, take a class and do something with them at a later date. Again, tough to have fun with the family while in a coma or on life support.

I will be putting man juice on that bike.

Saturday the 21st... AMA Daytona Sportbike 8:30PM and Superbike 9:30PM Road Atlanta. Sunday the 22nd... World SBK 5:00PM and 6:00PM Both on Speed Chanel.

Put that over your bed not those "iffy" paintings.

Now I now where I'm fueling up at, lol.

Harvest the magnets and snort coke off the discs. The razor blade will destroy them. That's what I heard.

I can't wait to get out there

I opted for redkows one piece suit. Should be arriving tomarow. I don't typically ride and hang out or do the bike night thing. I go ride to ride.I really wanted somthing for the dragon trip in June and the suit fits the bill more than perfect, as long as it fits well. Besides , I always liked the blue ranger,.so now I have a halloween costume!

You've talked down to just about everyone in the past few pages of this thread, calling them idiots and morons for the unspeakable crime of happening to question your logic. You've bench raced your car - which is still on metaphorical jackstands - and claimed a kill for a race that hasn't even happened. And then you chastise Jamie for offering you a money race, who is the same guy you called out and told him he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell. And somehow you have the audacity to say someone is acting like a douche? Holy fucking projection, Dr. Freud. Be thankful you have IPS in your corner. There are a lot of us here that like them, have friends who work there, and want to see them be successful. It's because of IPS that I think a lot of people here are using some restraint in dealing with you. Because I'd reason that if you were just someone off the street talking out beating people you haven't even raced we'd have laughed you off the site by now.

Still waiting for a pm back or email ( not sure if you for my message). Very interested but need your vin to check on how much I can loan it for.

Are you calling a slip a storage bin?
