  1. Wake me up when there's a robot that makes sammiches, does dishes, and gives sweet hummers...oh and no ability to talk is required.
  2. What does it weigh and about how much power does it make?
  3. I know a guy that knows Rick
  4. It's just sitting here unused. Make an offer.
  5. When will you be buying a ZX14?
  6. The Hawk GT was a fantastic little bike that was pretty much overlooked in the showroom because of this:

  8. Best gloves I've ever owned were a $25 pair of Joe Rocket Blasters. Must have lasted for 60,000 miles and many rainy days.
  9. ^^ Right, it should be something like how far can you travel on a gallon of gas, or the average of many gallons. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/how_tested.shtml
  10. Emission standards lower MPG as vehicles must run very lean to pass. Lean running doesn't result in max MPG.Your Sentra or Tercel would never pass today's collision tests. Vehicles need to be built heavier and stronger, which of course lowers MPG.I believe the calculations/process used to measure MPG have also changed.

    gas edger

    Is it a string trimmer or a push behind edger? My edger has a least a 3hp motor. Not sure an edger carb would be ideal for a mini bike.
  12. Does it come with any mounts or cards?
  13. I don't think fast recharging stations will be feasable anytime soon. Better model would be a battery exchange station...of course that wouldn't work either until there is enough volume to support that type of business.
  14. Thanks. I should be ok, just have to spend more time dealing doctors than I would prefer.
  15. Not by choice. Just found out I have a medical issue in my neck. Probably no more sportbikes in my future. The VFR could be for sale next...but not just yet.
  16. Yep, no stoppies though unless you pull the ABS fuse. More videos, but in the wrong language:
  17. Another good video.
  18. 2010 CBR600RR C-ABS. 11K. Brand new Pirelli Angel GTs front and back. Never down, dropped, tracked, or stunted. No scratches or damage ever. Mechanically it's 100%. Stock except for Helibars and Tech spec grip panels. Clean/clear title in hand. Excellent condition and well maintained. $7200. The Helibars make it much more comfortable. I can ride 500 miles in a day without discomfort. Pre-Helibars, I would be feeling it the next day after a long ride. I still have the stock clipons. ------------- C-ABS I get asked a lot about the C-ABS. It's combined, which is nothing like the mechanically linked brakes on some VFRs, CBR1100xx. etc. First off, best brakes I've ever experienced. They work like this: Without getting the ABS to engage, they feel and behave exactly like non-ABS sportbike brakes. If it senses either wheel slipping (it engages before you can actually feel any slipping). It will prevent slipping and engage the brake on the other wheel. You'll slow down without incident. There is no pulsing felt at the lever. It works in dry, wet, gravel, etc. Example: Say you see a patch of gravel. You can stand on the rear brake as hard as you can. It won't slip. It will engage the front brake. It'll slow you down without so much as a wiggle. Quite impressive. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/115/2327/motorcycle-article/2009-cbr600rr-c-abs---first-ride.aspx There are lots of Honda C-ABS videos on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IqCYlEA4Ok
  19. While the suspension mods are an improvement, they're probably going to make it harder to sell as you're effectively reducing your potential buyers to "bigger guys." Supply and demand and all that shit.
  20. I may be selling my 2010 CBR600RR C-ABS version. Same colors as above. 10K, minty, new tires, stock except for Helibars & Techspec tank grips.
  21. I don't believe in credit or credit cards. Haven't had one in 15 years. I did have my debit card number stolen once. They charged about $1,200 on it. My bank called me before I even noticed. The money was back in my account in 48 hours.
  22. That might be a bit of an over sell.
