I would assume that a CBR shock has a greater range of adjustability than the VFR. Depending on your weight, you may still need to change the spring. I happen to have a VGC shock from a 98 'CBRF3. I was going to use it to swap the shock on a 919, but sold the bike before I got around to it. I would let it go for a 6pack of Guinness

I've had good luck using stock shocks from other bikes (07 GSXR600 shock made a huge improvement on my SFV650 for example) . They can be found dirt cheap on fleabay. Not that familiar with VFR suspension....it the shock adjustable for compression, rebound, and preload? Do any CBR shocks fit the VFR?

Obviously this is the best answer.

Zing!

Pretty much. He has all the tools to be a reciever...except for the catching.

I approve this message I was with the same woman for 13 years. We figured what the hell and got married...separated after about a year...divorce finalized after 2.5 year...haven't spoken to her in years.

It's all about confidence, technique, and body position

According to the new South Park last night, the whole NFL is turning into a gay dating site. They might be on to something.

They go for $80.

That type of ride needs a slightly slower pace. Unfamiliar roads...and putting a bike down in Coshocton would suck, but nearly as bad as lowsiding in Buttplug, WV. Someone (other than me should organize this. I can help with the route, but not enough time for the planning. For day 1, you can make it from NEO to Harrisonburg, VA in a day (the mountain pass on WV33 ends up there). Harrisonburg is a college town, complete with college bars and restaurants that are walking distance from hotels.

Yep. It's hard to justify not having 2 bikes I pretty much have the Gladius set up identically to my old XB9. It's great for long days of corner carving. Still, I have this feeling that a CBR600RR will be sitting next to it before next season.

Meant to add this before.... In 2,000 or so miles the only slab was the ride from Cleveland to Bolivar and back. I might have ridden another 8-10 miles of slab in WV just to connect a route, the rest was twisty goodness. I still have my route somewhere. A trailer wouldn't help that much, because the nights would probably be in different locations. I did that trip on my Buell XB9S...damn good bike

To get to the best roads in WV from NEO you really need to spend 3days/ (2 nights). You can still ride some fantastic roads on a 2 day trip, but you are so close to twisty awesomeness you might as well spend another night. I did about 2,000 miles over 4 days (mostly in WV) 5 or 6 years ago. The rt 33 mountain pass between WV and VA is one of the few roads where I just had to turn around and ride it a few more times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR2VW-qXD7w

Unfortunate. I didn't buy a ticket with any plans to win the bike. I put a few $$ toward a good cause, and to support this generous act of support for your brother.

Yes. Here is an excellent reference for WV roads (OH is also on this site) http://www.motoroads.net/wv/wv.htm The guy who maintains this site has ridden more backroads than anyone. He has helped me with a few routes before. I have ridden most, if not all the WV roads he has listed...

300 is replacing the 250. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/kawasaki/2013-kawasaki-ninja-300-review-91429.html

http://blog.motorists.org/where-does-the-money-from-a-speeding-ticket-go/ example from Indiana: In this land where reality and fiction are indistinguishable there is a dead legal principle that says judges and courts should not personally benefit from the results of their rulings. Obviously, there is a conflict of interest anytime a judge’s well being would be affected by his or her decision. On occasion, a judge is found guilty of taking bribes for deciding in favor of his benefactors. But, when the conflict of interest is systemic, universal, and worth billions of dollars it is also invisible! I’m talking about the adjudication of traffic tickets. Traffic tickets are the mother’s milk of the court system. Thousands of judges rule on traffic cases knowing full well that guilty verdicts pay their salary, fund their retirement systems, and build their courthouses. But nobody seems to see a conflict of interest in this system? The noble judges are apparently above the temptations the rest of humanity experiences? Here’s how a typical speeding ticket (in this case a ticket from Indiana that we paid though our Traffic Justice Program) is divvied up: State Courts: $49.00 County Courts: $18.90 City Courts: $2.10 Law Enforcement Fee: $4.00 Jury Fee: $2.00 Highway Work Zone: $0.50 (??) Auto Record Keeping Fee: $7.00 Document Storage Fee: $2.00 Infractional Judgments: $99.50 The fine! Public Defense Administration Fee: $3.00 Judicial Insurance Adjustment: $1.00 Judicial Salaries Fee: $18.00: Do you think murderers and rapists pay this fee too? DNA Sample Processing Fee: $2.00 Very common service for traffic tickets. Court Administration Fee: $5.00 Total Cost Of Ticket: $214.00 This should help explain why average traffic ticket recipients start out with two strikes against them when they enter traffic court. The court system just can’t afford to offer real justice. If it did it would drown in its own workload and go broke in the process.

Eslick and Young passed each other a bunch of times. The move that Eslick puts on Young at 8:45 is just insane.

Monday morning bump.

The battle for second was pretty intense http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qetWxMAHVqU

When other revenues go down, ticket revenue goes up. I'm not saying this is across the board for every LEO or even every dept. But it's a pretty obvious trend. It was acknowledged by the Michigan police cheif in the article I posted, probably to the dismay of lots of other departments. There lots of articles on this subject http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-03-30-speeding-cushion_N.htm Of course all the ticket revenue doesn't go directly to the police dept. But police budgets are tied to local and/or state governments who do get a large chunk of that revenue. And local/state politicians have influence over law enforcement top brass. I can appreciate pressure to fill budget gaps. That's an issue faced by lots of organizations these days. I do however, have an issue with changing the ways certian laws are enforced specifically to increase municipal revenue. Especially when you consider that the citizens 'contributing' that increased revenue are facing the same economic pressure.

I put 15K+ miles on my 2009 1125R before I sold it. It's a great mix of sport capability and comfortable ergos.
