  1. this conversation will occur in an ER somewhere in the near future...... Nurse: how did you end up with 3rd degree burns on your hand and arm Patient: well, we had been drinking and decided to see if we could cook a hot dog with my friends hand held flame-thrower
  2. MotoGP hasn't been at Laguna since 2013. The new track in Argentina replaced Laguna on the schedule. WSBK used to race at Miller but left due to low attendance. Indy is a great venue to watch the race but it is too big a venue for the audience MotoGP or F1 (back in the day) attracts to be financially feasible and put a good product on TV. The last thing sponsors want to see if a bunch of empty seats on a TV screen. With no significant American presence in either series (no offense to Nicki) it's a hard product to sell in a NASCAR bubby nation. It will suck if Indy is indeed dropped. I have enjoyed the weekend each of the 8 years.
  3. If you so called "riders" actually rode, $20 would get you a 3 day pass. snark, snark.
  4. Best comment in response to their big tournament win Now they will all be able to remodel their parents basements.
  5. leaving Marysville around 8:30 Friday morning and riding out. Leave for home after the races on Sunday.
  6. Thanks Adam. I talk to Ben and my buddy Ed to see what they want to do.
  7. Does anyone know where you can buy them in the Columbus area. I need to remount my SENA to my helmet.
  8. Not sure I have big enough attachments to try this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bhjD568ZdU
  9. When riding we buy a weekend pass for the IRL offices on Georgetown across from the track (outside the short shoot between turns 1 & 2). I want to say it is $20 for the 3 days. Easy in / easy out.
  10. I've had my '06 for 10 years. I love my bike. There are several other members on here with them as well. The engine is wonderful with the torque of the triple. The biggest issues are the the suspensions needs to upgraded with heavier springs and valves up front. The brakes are known to be a bit soft. There are several fixes for that as well. I have not done anything to my brakes other than pads and fluid. The only significant mechanical issue that you need to keep an eye out for is the sprag clutch. They have been known to fail if a less than fully charged battery is on the bike and can be costly to replace. Heat from the exhaust can be an issue if you are stuck in traffic in the summer. The single pipe runs up under the seat next to your right leg. It does make those crisp spring and fall rides more enjoyable though. I would recommend triumphrat.net for more in depth research. Good luck with your search and if you have any questions let me know. Other members with '06's: JCMathis, VF1000ride, Anden
  11. And so it begins. http://www.ft.com/fastft/353721
  12. Hillarious! Thanks for giving me something to laugh at as I sit on a boring finance call.
  13. Nice introduction post. Welcome to OR not that you'll be around long.
  14. Glad you're ok. Just like the accident that killed the father in front of Marysville Lanes, I'll chalk it up to distracted driver. A stick straight piece of road with no obstructions anywhere near the road. I swear the people out here are worse than the people in Dublin, Columbus, etc. Good luck in dealing with the Insurance companies.
  15. Anyone else getting this error while trying to load pictures in advanced mode? Upload Skipped (Error IO) I'm getting a connection reset error in basic mode.
  16. There will be a meet and greet at cabin 501 tonight @ 8:30.
  17. They had 2 of those on the floor as well. ????
  18. The Diavel would need an upgraded seat for me. Love the bike, not the saddle.
  19. They have a really nice Diavel Dark on the floor if your looking. ????
  20. Sounds like a plan. I'd recommend getting a count of who will be attending a getting a reservation set because restaurants fill quickly. I would personally recommend Rock Bottom Brewery. Good beer and great food. I also recommend Cafe Patachou for breakfast.
  21. I saw this on reddit the other day. They freak me the fuck out! These with self learning computers is bad news.
