  1. This is why I like riding with small groups of experienced riders... Everyone can go their own pace and nobody has anything to worry about... The last trip to the shack me and marlboro man were a few minutes ahead of the other 3 bikes but nobody tried pushing it and nobody wrecked... Everyone goes their own speed and regroup at stop signs Group rides (imo) make people ride faster because there is a lead bike to help navigate.. Of lead bike knows the roads, it takes some mystery out of blind hills and corners.... This video looks like new guy got into the same pace as the other bikes and just didn't have the knowledge or experience to hold it... He probably should have gotten more solo seat time before going out with a group
  2. letting new guy lead makes it easier for him to set his own pace....instead of having him pushing his limits in the back trying to keep up with more experienced riders
  3. What a squid. Hope him and all his friends die a slow painful death before hitting a car and murdering 4 small children.
  4. It's his dad's bike... And the motherfucker better buy some upgraded shit when he fixes it too.
  5. Lol max power should get a kick out of this.... I kinda made a similar pass on him, not as big of a speed gap though... Sometimes people move in the lane and it happens... No need to wish death upon them
  6. Took my bike to hoblick to have new fork springs, bushings, and seals put in.. Also had him replace rear shock spring. I have nothing but great things to say... The work was done fast, the price was very fair, and he even took time to explain a few extra things about the bike to me Anyone in central Ohio looking for work, I highly recommend Shop Dog Cycles... If I wasn't moving in May, I would be a return customer for sure. Thanks Ryan!
  7. Price is negotiable... Awesome car stereo
  8. Wanna play a prank on somebody? Dump this thing out in their car... Idgaf lol... Someone buy these things
  9. Comprehensive covers fire and theft... You don't even need to have the bike registered for that kind of coverage.. As long as it's got a clean title you can get it... My mustang sat for a year with no tags or plates but I had comp on it for fire and theft Edit to clarify - by clean title I just mean it's not salvage title.. Even a rebuilt title is fine with most companies
  10. I highly doubt an old 600 fzr will "terrify" anyone.... It's not a current model r6 or something
  11. Have her take msf course before ever getting on one... They will teach her basics on a tiny bike, and then she should be able to slowly step into yours
  12. honestly...i disagree with buying tools as you need them. youre young...you never know what tools you will need down the road....you may end up in a bind some day and end up fixing your own car or something because you cant afford whatever a shop wants to do it....you really never know...buying tools as you need them can get pricey over time i have a set similar to this http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-260-pc-mechanics-tool-set-with-3/p-00936260000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 best investment ever....i have a full size tool chest as well, fully loaded with tools, and there is seldom an isntance that i need to get in there.....these kits have almost everything you will need for any job, motorcycle or car related.....sure its $200 up front, and its craftsman not snapon, but i believe it to be the best investment for someone who wants to work on their own vehicles....no need to buy snapon or mac tools for casual light repairs....craftsman arent the same quality, and they do occasionally break...but theyre awesome for home users and they are lifetime guaranteed spend a little more up front and skip the frustration of making multiple trips for tools and the money wasted on little stuff here and there also nice having something portable...i can grab my little box like this and take it wherever if im helping someone else, and i never have to worry about forgetting a tool...i put some other basics like pliers and scredrivers etc in the storage compartment
  13. Need to get an OR sticker before I leave
  14. Awesome.. Exactly what I was looking for... Thanks, l have to check it out Thursday when I get a day off
  15. Nothing failed or went dark. It just read 0
  16. I know they're known for bad electronics, but im not diving in and replacing all that crap before accurately diagnosing the problem. I have no other issues besides the speedo so far... Starts good, no dimming lights, everything works properly... Supposedly the electrical system has already been overhauled by the previous owner... I can't confirm that but I asked and he said all the fixes have been done... I'm really thinking it's a problem that has something to do with the speedometer and how it reads or connects or something, rather than a problem with the electrical system Is there some kind of sprocket or sensor or something that reads speed? Like a vss in a car?
  17. Google search shows that vtec won't work until bike is at operating temp... I didn't check my engine temp, but I was riding it easy and only rode 6 miles... So disregard that for now... But please advise on the speedo thing... Is it nothing to worry about? Maybe just got too much water in it somewhere?
  18. Riding in to work in the slush today and my FI light came on and my speedo stopped working and went to 0...shut off bike and restarted it and the fi light didn't stay on, but the speedo still didn't work... Hit a bump and it came back on then off and then back on and stayed on.... I also think my vtec stopped working... I couldn't really rag on it in this weather to test it, but slow acceleration you can usually feel it engage and i couldn't... It doesn't feel like it's lacking power or idling weird.. So I'm leaning towards electrical problem rather than fuel? Any ideas?
