  1. Saw a guy driving a nice lifted obs diesel ranger. It had stacks and poured smoke. It was gray with bigger tires. Saw him on the eastside. If anybody knows him let me know I would love to buy it off him. Thanks
  2. Anybody got one of the old diesel rangers? If so let me know. Thanks
  3. I would be down if someone wants to go.
  4. The problem pretty much came out of nowhere. It happened when I had the original tires on the bike. I figured maybe the front was just wearing funny or something but since then I have had two different sets of tires on it. I have tried sitting different ways tucking and sitting up but it doesnt change it. I have checked the steering head bearing and everything seems to be ok.Also the rotor looks good. Yes if anyone has any numbers of anyone that can take a look at it I would appreciate it.
  5. This is kind of long but basically when I first got my bike I could make high speed pulls with no issues(at the track of couse). The last few thousand miles the front tire shakes side to side when I'm going higher speeds. The bike has 8k on it now. I have had several people look at it and noone can figure it out. I have put several sets of tires on it and had them rebalanced several times. I'm ruinning the proper tire pressure and I have played with that alot and still no difference. The chain alignment is good and I have also had the steering head bearing checked and tightened. I just recently lowered the front slightly to see if by putting more of the bikes weight up front it would help but still no difference. You can rip on the bike and it has no issues just at higher speeds. It isnt a issue when you accelerate fast but just once you get to speeds over 100mph. When you are going over 100mph it doesnt matter whether you slowly accelerate or not it just doesnt want to strighten up the bike still wants to wobble. The bike is bone stock and the tires are wearing properly and I just cant figure it out. I'm about 185lbs. and the suspension is still set at stock settings. If anyone knows a good shop that might be able to help me out without bending me over let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!
  6. I'm looking for a riding buddy on the weekends. I have a Cr250r. Pm me if anyone wants to head out to perry or wayne or wherever.

    Hi

    sick car man defiently one of my favorite cars of all time
  8. ya idk... its had two new sets of tires on it and the tires balanced several times. Its got the stock stabilizer. Ya I know its not the best stabilizer in the world but I dont get why it never did it before. You could top the bike out no problem before and now I cant get the bike past 130-140 because the bars just start going back and forth to bad.
  9. I have a 05 R1 with 6k miles and I was wondering if anyone can give me some advide. My bike just recently started shaking when I am at higher speeds like 120 or so. The bars start moving back and forth and if I stay in it it gets worse. If I ride the bike normal I dont hear any vibrations or noises or anything. It only happens at speeds higher than 120mph and I have to be on the throttle pretty hard. I have since got new tires and I even had the dealer take them back and give me another set beacuse they thought I may have had a bad tire. The wheels have been balanced and everything checked over several times. The first time my steering head bearing was loose but we tightened it up and it helped some but it still shakes back and forth. I have also checked my tire pressure several times. My buddy that works for the dealer also checked the stock stabilizer and he couldnt find anything wrong withit or with the bike. At lower speeds the bike never shakes at all and It never did it when I first bought the bike. If anyone has any ideas or advice I appreciate it. Thanks!!!

    bike stand

    Kinda new to this and I want to get a street bike stand. I just want somethin that holds it up to take off the rear tire. Ive seen all different kinds of styles of stands. Does anyone have one they want to get rid of or know where I can get a good deal on one? Ive seen them at Iron Pony but they were kinda pricey.
  13. can anyone paint my helmet for cheap? j/k
  14. Ok ok I admit it was me but I was defiently going faster than 160.
  15. I get about 7-8 mpg even when I drive my truck nice. Its a 460. But it makes me proud.
