I thought you thought I might think about it but I would think better about it.

I'm not up that early. That must be an interesting story, two cars behind and one waiting, long chase or habitual offender that they were waiting for.

08 Honda CBR1000RR $7,000 09 Kawasaki ZX6R $6,900 I had a hard time deciding but found a dealer demo 1K for $6,500. I'm no faster on the 1K than I would have been on the 600 south of 70. There is a significant difference between a '04 and '05 600RR, even more so for a newer one. Definitely an upgrade to a newer one but most likely not necessary.

Yeah

If you need to ride faster than that bike is capable of you're riding too fast. I have a hard time keeping up with a guy on a XB9 with my 1K; it's all about the rider once you get a bike like that. That is a great bike. Enjoy and be safe.

Can I get her number?

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. It is amazing how much you don't know about riding until you are exposed to additional information. For what a track day costs it’s a great bargain if it can save you the cost of a deductable because now you are on your way to gaining better bike control. Can you learn good bike control riding on the street, sure but it will take you a lot longer and potentially cost you more. This should make you a better safer street rider. Welcome to a whole new way to spend money. Good advice to give yourself. Dot race tires have their place but very few people in the beginning group need or will benefit from them.

They were kind of weak by today’s standards. Comparing them to modern 600s they had about the same power but more weight. They did compare to modern 600s way better that a SV1000.

If that is what them cruisers run you should run me with my SUV. I ran 11.30 back in '89 on my '86 FJ1200

According to Honda that is an acceptable level of oil consumption. Who am I to argue with them, they know best. None of the motors are failing they just make so much power they have to run a little loose.

WTF are you talking about of course you are wrong and you should be listening to the disgruntled old men. Honda is superior, there I said it and so it is so. Cruisers still suck.

Honda is superior to all the others. You guys with other bikes just think they are okay because you have had good luck with them but if you owned a Honda you would know what a good bike is.

I went and read that thread and I am right, cruisers suck.

I haven't read that thread because I think cruisers suck. Maybe I'll go take a look in there and see what's going on.

What are you doing posting aren't you supposed to be out riding a mechanical bull?

Any chance of hooking up the next three days?

Eight miles away. See you tonight.

I can make that work. My girlfriend lives on Sugar Ridge close to Pete's Filling Station, I will shoot for being there by 6:30, you can't be far from there.

I have been thinking of getting the Joe Rocket Alter Ego pants because one of the leg zippers broke. These might save me $75. I could always wear the liner from the old pants if I wanted water protection. I did gain 24 pounds over the winter though, I wonder if these fit? I will be in Ridgeville this evening can I see if they fit? If they do I'll take them.

Mine was wore out. About 1,400 to 1,600 miles so far and the next ride can't be a long one. 200 to 300 miles. I'm going to have to start using just the tip.

You're such a big teddy bear, so sweet, kind and gentle.

Maybe they won't alter them because they weren't successful when they tried to do it. I'm sure they have plenty requests to do this and I doubt they would pass up the business if they could do it successfully. I vote for leaving it alone and eat more to fill it in.
