  1. it is the 30th-1st of Feb. buy your ticket online and save $1 and beat waiting in line to purchase tickets at the box office. Box office takes CASH ONLY too fyi...
  2. I too started my bike up. Since it was a bit warmer, I put the bike back together (clutch and stator covers got chromed). topped it off with oil and let her purr. It was about 9:30 when I starded it up. I am sure I pissed the neighbors off since I kept reving it up. Being in the amplifies the sound a lot louder. I didnt even touch the kawi tho. I think I heard it begging to be started, but its my red headed step child and I negliected to give it the attention it wanted.
  3. and? Wrillo, I would suggest going. its good times and you can chek out venders and all the new bikes and sit on most of them. there are even some nice looking chicks in skimpy clothes at some booths. oh and ther is normally some entertainment at certain times during the day to. its a good dose of mototcycle medicine to cure the winter bug of not riding
  4. I'm pumped to see the new bikes, specifically the Honda Fury and the Duc 1198. The Japanese bikes dont really have anything that new and great this year. Hopefully there will be a lot of selection on gloves and jackets left still by Sunday. and whats cooler than walking around with that huge bag of free stuff that you lug around for the whole show that you end up throwing away when you get home?
  5. What would happen if someone actually bid 5 Mill on it? I noticed someone asked if they could bid on it to know whats its like to blow 5 mill and the seller said not to bid. This guy is funny and he did what his wife told him...its gonna bite him in the ass I am sure of it
  6. You went to both last year....I plan on stopping by Shane's BBQ after the show. Thanks to Dustin, I now have to eat there everytime I am in C-Bus

    Red Riders

    I got my stator and clutch covers back from getting a sparkling chrome bath last week. Installed both covers last night and man it looks good. It's getting harder to ride this thing because the sun is always reflecting off the chrome and blinding me, lol.
  8. Thanks Dweezel. Your knowledge has been a great help. Its a good thing I asked all this before ordering anything. Looks like I'll have to contact B&M to see if they make anything for the car. A buddy of mine told me to get a computer program from DHP I think it was. its a couple hundred bucks but worth it I guess by firming up the shifts, adjusting the fuel and ignition curves for better performance and improving mileage. This might be the way to go even though I didnt want to go the Computer tune route.
  9. Hey 12, you should make your own videos
  10. OK I got done looking at the different B&M kits for the 4L60E. They make a shift kit and trans pack for the 4L60E and the electric shift kit Shift Plus for the 4L60E. The shift kit and trans pack lists up to a 2001 and the shift plus lists up to a 98. Looks like I will have to call tech at B&M to figure out which one I need
  11. I would have never thought about the computer catching onto the shift times. I guess its like when people put those little resistors in their IAT sensors to make the computer think colder air is comming in the intake. The computer eventually catches on to that mod and corrects itself. I believe the 4L60E is correct. I have seen enought of them when I used to work at a car shop but forgot the number. Thanks for the link. I'm going to check it out right now.
  12. Thanks Dweezel. Good info. Im not sure what tranny it is but it is a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT. Not a high performance vehicle, but sporty and has decent performanve for a v6 car. I know a valve body and shift kit is the best way to do it but I was looking for a cheaper/easier alternative to firm up the shifts. So since I have a newer vehicle and I am sure the tranny is controlled by the computer, will swapping fluid be pointless? I dont want to damage the tranny in the process. From your explanation, it sounds like I probably should leave it alone or save up for improvements to the valve body. If it will be ok, would running the ford type F be better or cheaper than the trick shift?
  13. Cant even sit in it? Do they have a red velvet rope around it or something?
  14. I heard Beau Townsend sp? in Vandalia has a GT-R in stock and is asking like $84K for it. Something like $15K over MSRP. Thats BS but you know someone is going to buy it
  15. I have a car related question. Has anyone ever used (or have knowlegde of) B&M trick shift automatic tranny fluid in their car before? I want my car to shift firmer without having to take the valve body apart and put in heavier springs and servos or having to spend hundreds of dollars on a performance programmer that will make it shift harder. I was thinking about dropping the tranny pan, putting in a new filter and replacing the 5-6 quarts or so of fluid that I drained from the pan with the Trick Shift fluid. Would this improve to firmer shifts by only replacing what I drain from the pan rather than replacing the fluid in the whole system, which is probably 10-15 quarts? I am hoping at least a few people have experimented with this before.
