  1. This is just an off topic for this thread. Please don't flame :-)

    I had a 2008 zzr that is a 98-02 zx6r. I had race tech springs gold valve and compression kit installed and rear had just a race tech spring with stock suspension. I was pretty happy with the setup for my ability and was fine on the track in the novice group. Recently on a trackday as I was refining late braking into a corner, I went into a pathetic tank slapper and wrecked it. The turn was a 100+ mile sweeper but comes after a front straight of 140+. So late braking from 140 to say 90. What could have caused the slapper. Well I did not have a steering damper that I now regret. Any suggestions ? Bike totaled looking for a R6 or GSX R 750 ;-)

  2. I hear the Dexter torsion axles are great. I have dexter axle with a leaf spring, it is ok. The advantage of a torsion axle is that your trailer tires are usually not balanced torsion axle take care of that and reduce the vibration of the the conventional leaf springs.

  3. Along with riding the full 106 miles of 28 from walhalla sc to the gap/129/blueridge/cherohala over the holiday weekend, a little family fun rafting wasn't bad at all.

    Another thing I observed that I-40 from Newport TN to Ashville NC in less traffic could be a blast on the freeway. No cops and you don't have to worry about crossing the yellow line and oncoming traffic. There is margin for errors with two lanes and could be great for noobs ;)

  4. The guy got out of car started walking along the side walk, hand out of hoodies and pocket ; that's the point where I could make a move or shoot. I had a second thought to jump the curb and run him over but thought that might not hold good for self defense in funky Florida law.

    Happy New Year Everybody; well did not find any guy with a gun in my trunk but found a pair of pointy Jessica Simpson designer shoes, a Calvin Klein ladies coat and lip and cheek stain.......:p Hey don't even think......"no panties"

    I was designated driver for two parties.....made up my Jacksonville loss, actually little more ;)

  5. I would imagine that mom' date=' missus kos and baby kos were still in the van, being held at gunpoint. Makes it kind of hard to not get back inside.

    I could be wrong with that guess, though.[/quote']

    Pauly, your message is conveyed to Mrs. and I will be riding in spring :D

    Pauly's idea was exactly right. I went to the restroom first, wifey was pumping gas, when I was coming out of the restroom, wifey was in the restroom line. At this point the car was unlocked with the kiddo and grandma in the car.The guy jumped into the backseat and held them, when I walked to the car I couldn't see anything inside for the tinted windows, as I jumped in, I had the gun in my face and moments later the same thing to the wife.

    The bank is kind enough to return all the forced cash withdrawal.

    A good thing to know that I did not know that you put your ATM pin in reverse order in case of forced withdrawal; it will dispense the cash but will send a silent alert to all the cops nearby; a good thing to share with friends and families suggested by the Bank of America fraud Dept. representative.

    Well as the crime scene investigators were taking fingerprints or DNA sample one of the officer showed us this; that made our day......
