  1. I'll be riding a local loop tomorrow at 2p. It's about 60 miles. It will start and end at the BP at OH82/US77 in Broadview Heights. It's midway between Cleveland and Akron. This will be an easy/moderate pace ride through a few local twisty roads. I consider this a 'jeans' pace...helmet, jacket, & gloves are still a REALLY good idea. These are probably the only decent curves in the area. Part of it will be through the park and there are occasionally LEOs so the pace will be sane but still entertaining. If you want to ride, be gassed up and ready to roll by 2p.
  2. At 150 lbs the recommended settings are probably really close. Have you checked the Duc boards?
  3. My very similar Gladius with modded suspension will hang with supersports when riding aggressively through twisties. My pace was noticeably less quick with stock suspension. Whether it's worth it really depends on how you like to ride.
  4. Does your evo have progressive springs?
  5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK3flKxf41U
  6. I am not particularly interested in Ramsey's life beyond current events. A situation presented itself where people in severe distress needed someone to rescue them from a miserable existence. Ramsey had an opportunity to get involved and he did the right thing. There are 4 people and families that are extremely grateful for his actions. Good enough.
  7. Every post you make further reinforces your ignorance.
  8. Don't chickens replace themselves rather quickly?
  9. I haven't researched the Ninja 650 specifically, but there's probably some fully adjustable shock from a recent ZX or GSXR that will fit. Those can be easily found on ebay for under $50. Throw some emulators or Intiminators in forks and the handling will be much improved.
  10. The first thing I would do to a Ninja 650 is mod the suspension.
  11. 20 or 30 years ago people started jobs with the mindset that it could last a lifetime. Many companies were (to a degree) loyal to long term employees. Fast forward to today...the age of buyouts, mergers acquisitions, downsizing, offshore employees, etc. People are expected to change jobs and even career paths multiple times. I am only as loyal to a company as a company would be to me. If my company could save a buck shipping my job to India, they would downsize me tomorrow. I consider every job to be temporary and I've been with my company for 8 years. Do what's best for you today. When a better opportunity comes...take it. Rinse. Repeat.
  12. One of my favorites
  13. Good looking bike.
  14. Does this mean you're planning to go one some street rides?
  15. Tebow built my Hot Rod.
  16. Is that paraphrasing F&L?
  17. Are those supposed to be actual remains? It looks fake.
  18. Who ever heard of a Christian athlete? http://www.fca.org/
  19. Elway was embarrassed to field a team that was basically playing a college offense. NFL defenses caught on an exposed him for being a below average quarterback. I think he'll get another chance in the NFL but it might not be for a few years and maybe not as a quarterback.
  20. You should be buying the new 2013 Street Triple R anyway...then offering it to me to ride for the day so I can decide if I'll be buying one.
  21. ^^^ I tend to avoid bike nights, but I'll probably be riding the through the park nearby. The best time to ride through the park is when all the bikes and police attention are in VV
  22. Saw that on Craig's. The price isn't too far off if he has proof the valves were adjusted. I think the valve interval is 26k-ish on those. If not, the price needs to come down a bit.
