Watersports?

I was never a fan of Herrin, but I expected him to do better in Moto2.

Aren't permits just so they know to raise your property taxes?

I wasn't serious anyway. I plan to keep the VFR for a while longer.

There will be at least 3 showing up for this ride. Perhaps more. The pace will be brisk. Fresh oil change and the CBR is ready to go. The meetup is the intersection of 83/93 at 9:30a (nothing there but a parking lot).

How about a VFR1200

I am affected by celebrity deaths as much as they will be affected by mine.

I just turned 10,000 on my CBR that I bought new last May. Plus, since then I've owned 3 other street bikes that also get ridden quite a bit

700 miles on a motorcycle is a great way to spend a day.

I don't mean at the Moto2 and Moto3 level. I was referring to Pro-Am like this “It allows a framework that supports advancement from youth competition to novice, from novice to Pro-Am, from Pro-Am to National Championship contention and, for the best of the best, an opportunity to race for a world title.” Something like a 600cc superstock regional series, with costs for modifications severely limited and only regional travel required. I think that would reduce the $$ barriers that prevent many from joining or continuing in road racing.

I agree. If Kaw is going though all the engineering gyrations to make a supercharged motorcycle they are going to make a horsepower statement. It will be at least 1000cc. Maybe much bigger.

Changing oil on a cruiser is a 15 minute job that only requires basic tools. The owners manual has all the steps listed. Do it yourself.

You may want to talk with a car wash builder. That is probably the most common application for floor heat. There is a particular kind of tubing that will essentially last the life of the concrete. If you use something else it will eventually leak. A leaky floor heat system is cost prohibitive to try to diagnose or repair. Good luck finding the leak without a thermal imager. Also, use glycol, not water. Not all boilers are rated for glycol. Water freezing will split the tubing and my even crack the concrete. If you just want to heat a specific area, just get an electric heated matt.

I used to own a car wash that had floor heat. You need a boiler/heater and a circulating pump. They usually use glycol instead of water. A special kind of tubing needs to be installed inside the concrete as it's being poured. It works well, but not a very efficient heat source.

Not at the top level, but I'd like to see a pro-am superstock 600cc class that allows very few mods. Keep the costs relatively low for racers who want to be competive on the track, but can't match $$ of the fast teams. That would be a great way to see who has enough talent to move to the next level.

then strippers and if you're gonna have strippers, you're gonne need blow. Lots of blow.

Rainey and Dorna....HELL YES!!1!1! Maybe Honda and Kawasaki will finally come back. In summary, fuck DMG.

If you're going to run water, you're gonna need heat (or heated pipe tape) right? Unless you plan to purge the lines with antifreeze in the winter. And if you're going to have water and heat, might as well build a bathroom.

Lot's of sites are calling it a supercharged I4. Prolly 1000cc+

What did you buy?

Leave early. Ride far. Turn frequently. This could be a quick pace (CBR) or a med-quick pace(VFR) depending on who shows up.

The one on Rochester CL is a good deal as long as it checks out mechanically. I drove to Rochester a few months ago to buy my VFR.

What's the budget? I'd take this over an earlier Z1000 http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/4635530753.html
