This is what I envision an OR track day is really like. http://i.imgur.com/wglBzGh.gifv

Update from the Family --- John took a great step today. He is now breathing on his own. They've removed the ventilator and I believe they are starting to remove the sedation. They are not allowing visitors at this time as he needs a ton of rest. This is incredible step from when I was there on Saturday! He truly is a fighter! Keep fighting John!

So I appreciate the kind words about me, always nice to hear! Going forward I want to make sure our customers know that if they buy a Sena product from Riders Discount and are having issues to please call me directly or PM me within the 2 year warranty time frame. Appreciate the patience @thompsonian and @Connie14 with your issues, both of which have now been resolved. We love the Sena product and issues are few and far between but know that you are being taken care of if something does come up. Best Regards, Mike

You know Vulcan Tonik, you don't know FZ6Sonik - This is a new man desiring to drag knee and shred tires. It's a man destined for inside passing through blind corners. He will leave your ass in the dust!

I will have some room under my canopy if anyone beeds a place to park. I have also done a track day or two and can help anyone through the process once we get there.

You don't need reservations.

if Jr Kennedy ever shows off to you about being on CNN, just show him this pic and back away in style like this

Im guessing the horse is available!!?

Yes my son?

That's what happens when you specialize in selling decorative motorcycles to old people, then release that turd of a new Street Rod in a half assed attempt to attract younger buyers.

I see you stuck with black & round

It was only creepy because you didn't come in when invited.

"Bicyclists don't pay road tax" is a bullshit argument. MOST bicyclists also own a vehicle that they already paid road tax on. Yes, I said most, there are exceptions, but not very common. Maybe we should have a "Walker's tax" for people that walk on the sidewalk. Put a tax receipt (License plate) on your ass. Damn I should be a politician.

It was the K1300S HP, not K1300S HP4. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/2011/november/nov0811-new-bmw-k1300s-special-edition-with-hp-package-/

Or a CSV transmitted over FTP. No joke.

I never stood up. Same height either way so I don't waste the energy

Negative rep for posting about rep.

The correct term is post whore.

Changed 2 tires in 90 degree heat in a garage with no A/C. I sweat enough I thought I ran a 5k.

hope you go with at least a 525. that chain in a 520 might be too weak to make it more than a few thousand miles. if you need a chain tool buy a motion pro PBR. cut the rivet heads off at least. I've seen guys break chains without doing it but you do risk breaking the pins.

NP...also the OP said he wanted 150+HP....even the speed triple isn't quite there! Personally i think that sort of power to weight has no place on the street, but i guess he did say possible track days.

Sex change

That new 2018 Street Triple RS 765cc with factory Ohlin shock is pretty sexy.

Oh shit, did I say tow? I meant tug. Some people prefer a gentle tug instead.

Tonic is right, mildly creepy hehehe and can't imagine people send you pics in full leather daaang

He very well may be the next Valentino Rossi. A late bloomer, but still.....

At least you got tires, you are way ahead of me.

I was hoping it to be a non mach retard kind of day. A nice 10 to 15 over posted limits is perfect for me. Justin and i did that most of last week and it was a nice ride. Only time we wicked it up is when we passed cars or multiple cars. Not that I can't keep a mock retard Pace I would rather just not do it all day long that's where I get myself in trouble.

I'm out.

Should I set up a go fund me for bail money now or....

If I wanted you dead, you would be dead. I know where you live, I don't need to drive around hoping you might pass by on your bike.

I had my life threatened by two groups of hilljacks on SR 78 on Sunday. I swear, I'm no longer riding without a GoPro and a gun. A buddy and I come up behind a jacked up truck. He starts swerving, and driving on the yellow line or in the left lane. It's immediately apparent he intends not to allow us to pass him. So my buddy goes around me on his S1000RR...the fastest bike of anyone I ride with by far, and gets on his ass. He starts to go left around white truck hilljack and is almost pushed off the road. He makes it past. Then I do the same thing, except my pass was more sketchy and around a blind corner, cause ol inbred didn't have the nuts to cross the center line there. So we are ahead of him and start to pull away when we come around he next turn and there's a stop light and a one lane road for construction. This is in the middle of nowhere near Burr Oak. Now, I see we're going to have to stop with this blow hard right behind us. We get to the light and there are two cars to our front. We both are checking our mirrors to see what he's doing to do, and as soon as the door to his truck opens our kickstands come down and we dismount and prepare to defend ourselves. 'Ol' few teeth' starts in on us about how his wife got run off the road by us down on 78 last week, and how we're going to kill someone. I politely remind him that we weren't down there last week, he was the one driving on the wrong side of the road for miles, and that he also has a tail light out. This didn't curtail his anger. Its then that I notice a man and a woman, both wearing cut off tshirts needing a laundering, both with less than a full mouth of teeth between the two of them, walking toward us huffing and puffing...presumably not from the slight walk up hill on their tired, tar filled lungs. But because they are angry too. The man is closest to me and begins yelling at me about sport bikers on 78. He squares up and says "what's up then?!" as if he's like to fight. Now, had I taken him up on his offer, he'd be fistfightimg someone with full SNELL head and face protection and essentially wearing built-in brass knuckles. But I preferred to remain assault charge-less and declined. I would have wrecked his face. Then his fat wife says 'you try to pass us up here and we're going to run you over'. I think k to myself, 'I'm not taking the chance' and I wanted out of a situation in which I was steadily losing control. I quickly hop on my bike, ride through the fat couple. The fat man tries to grab me, then pushes me, and I ride through the red light, one lane road and attempt to leave. They hopped in their van and followed. I maintained a safe distance in from of them, while they tried to keep up dangerously. i probably rode 10 miles and couldn't see my buddy behind me, and I had put a few hundred yards between the van and I. I could have put more but I was worried about speeding in case the incident had been reported. So I pull over at the state park to wait for my accomplice. Then I see the van taking aim at my bike. He pulls just past me, barely missing me as I pull away. I check my mirrors and he had jumped out of the van, fists in the air, saliva and foam shooting from his contorted lips. Ready to rumble....again, with someone that would have knocked him out in the first punch, and someone in which his direct punches to my helmet would have caused him more damage than I. And I meet up with my buddy and we rode off... We hadn't been down there in weeks. I don't know what these people were angry, but they threatened our lives. 2 groups of them. And it's not the first time. I am making some changes to how I protect myself while riding from now on. This event was the last straw.

I said fast...

Database programming? Girls write software to move data, men write software to move steel!

Rookies

Yes. Predictcablity and holding your line are absolutely more important in I and A than speed alone.

It's only bad over 80. Anything over that just tuck like a flat-tracker.

As a old white conservative guy that hates many taxes I agree with this tax. We pay taxes on gas and our plates to help pay for roads. Oregon has a huge network of bike lanes and stuff, it has to be paid for somehow.

Thanks for the input gents. I'll probably just go with the KTM Super Duke R anyhow. They've made some substantial improvements this year & I've had a hankering for one since they 1st came out.

This post shall serve as my unofficial official notice of possible interest in joining the party.

If you drive down to Columbus Wednesday I'll come hold your hand at Iron Pony so you don't get scared. Offer is out there.

You can get screwed at either place.!
