I have a few more things to work on before the street bike is ready to go, but I'm thinking it will all be done tomorrow. Anyone planning on riding Saturday?

Just traded in my 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250 for a 2012 Yamaha r6. I got it from Iron Pony today and just waiting for all my new gear to come in on Wednesday. I am excited for this season and plan to go on many group rides. I'm off on Saturday and Sunday. I am also back to this site as I plan on riding a lot this season. Just put 28 miles on my r6 and I bought the World GP 50th anniversary edition. No pics yet.

Thanks everyone. Except you crusher. snot there are a few new ones left over. The only ones I have found are blue. Which is just fine by me because it's the only color I wanted.

I'm down for this but Idk if I can get up into the valley by 1. 330.338.9708 text me. Brian you're a tool....a Mexican tool....like a shovel or....a hoe. Man up, shake it off, sweat out the alcohol and don't waste this beautiful day.

Kind of like telling a kid he can be anything he wants when he grows up, but we know not everyone can do anything, no matter how hard they try. We just say that to give them confidence. You got the talent Mike. Thanks for sharing because if I was doing it I wouldn't take the time to take pictures to share online. I'm glad you do because it's interesting to see.

Whomever Livin is, he is correct on a few things. I am not sure if this is a troll or someone who is legit. It seems to be basic knowledge that can be sourced anywhere as I am not sure what the issue is with the posts I have made. Whatever. The more knowledge we all get, the better we all become. I don't have all the answers. I've just been blessed with being around a lot of different leveled people in this business and have heard things that apparently were not true to things that not many know. It's just part of being a fly on a rather large wall. All I know is that I am no Superbike racer. I never claim to be fast nor even that good. Had a lot of lucky breaks and have been behind or passed by some of the best racers in the world. But, there are some that get threatened by things or feel they have more to offer. Dunno. Comments made here by Livin seem weird and yet supportive. It really has me scratching my skull. Crew chief for a top AMA team... Only 4 years experience at that level rules out someone like Medley or similar. Top ten and living around here could be someone like Pegrams guy, but he doesn't sound to be that dude. I also think Larry's guy has more than 4 years on board, but could be wrong. Not sure the issue with Nate's comments on 7lbs. If a team like Rider's who has a top notch racer like they do, EVERY little bit counts. EVERY. Everyone else they are racing at the level they do are doing as much as they can and it gets to a point where they are so close that small and seemingly trivial things can add up. Rider's shaving 7 lbs means a lot. Me shedding 7 lbs is not much at all. 195lb rider with average talent and old? Yeah... Not a big gain. But, if Livin is critical of my response saying 7 lbs is a horsepower, it is close. Not exact, but he should know that weight is relative and doesn't add HP, but rather lowers that power to weight ratio which is similar to adding HP. As to Livin's question about the gas charged stuff, I am wondering who he is. I am thinking it may be a certain guy we all know who would have to reveal himself before I give out guesses. He knows me rather well apparently, but is hiding behind a screen name. Well, maybe not hiding as we all have silly names or names that mean something to us all, but isn't willing to come out and say who he is or what team he crewed for. But, about the Ohlins... I don't have the money, man and quite honestly, I haven't heard a lot of positive feedback or an overwhelming response that would make me trend away from what I know or can understand with little effort. And, if you are the guy you say you are and have a finger on the pulse of the racing industry, you know who TJ is and you should know the quality of the build and how high the standard will be when completed. You also would know TJ's background that allows me to say that. In any case, sorry everyone for a lackluster e-battle. I just don't know who it is and honestly, he isn't really bashing anything. Some weird comments, but maybe he is a crew chief for Pegram. Hell, he supported my comments on the R1... It's really strange...

Getting a promotion and riding is like getting married and sex, when you get one the other goes away.

Ride? Ride what? This is strictly a gun, ammunition and funny pictures forum. Go away with whatever it is you "ride".

To add what Copperhead has posted: (written from personal experience) If you do have to go the route of a bankruptcy for what ever reason do not under any circumstance think that your lawyer will follow up on your credit for you. My wife and I have been through a Chapter 13 and although my lawyer did take care of getting our debts consolidated and into the case they did not tell me of anything to do with credit other than it will stay on your report for 7 years. What I found out afterwords is that the companies that we were making payments to through the plan sometimes did not report things correctly if at all. When we got out of the bankruptcy there were accounts that still showed a balance on them, accounts that showed us late for 3 years, even though we were making payments to the trustee of the case, etc. If you have to file, when you get your acceptance into the plan and you have your papers send them off to all your creditors that were named in the bankruptcy. As Copperhead mentioned there are the big 3 credit reporting agencies that in a lot of ways run your life (if you want to purchase anything on credit that is). These agencies used to only deal with consumers by snail mail. You can now create disputes through their websites and these still fall under the FCRA that states the creditor has 30 days to respond to your dispute or it will be removed from your report. My wife and I were able to bring our credit scores up to 680 (mine) and 715 (hers) within 6 months of being out of our bankruptcy. Although we still have this on our report by making sure all the creditors have updated our accounts correctly it only reports as 1 derogatory instance instead of many. Again, as Copperhead mentioned Debt/Income is a huge part of helping us get loans after this as most banks will not touch debtors for at least 2 years after bankruptcy. If you are a veteran you can use your VA loan for a home but you have to have a minimum of a 660 (as of Sept 12) credit score. The first thing I recommend doing once you are done with it (or close to the end) is apply for a card that helps rebuild your credit. Many of these take a deposit (i.e. $500) then give you a $500 line of credit minus their yearly fee. The nice part is that they report to the big 3. This is important as not all banks / etc report to all agencies. Why this is I don't really know but you will find this as you look at your reports. If you have any more questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. I was very depressed when this happend, and felt that I wasn't a man and really let my family down. I have since realized that I did everything in my power but when the economy took a dive and I was put out of work there was nothing I could do. I have since tried to help others know what to look for from my personal experience. ****I am not a credit professional nor do I claim that everything I say will work or fix your problem. I can only tell you my experiences/choices and what the results were.****

You have to be patched in. about once a year we vote on new members, voting is based on how good your old lady looks, how much your bike is worth (title will need signed over to Casper) and how many beers you can drink and still be able to remember to put feet down at stop lights.
