  1. WV has roads that are every bit as good as the roads around the gap...and with less traffic and LEOs.

    Nice save.

    I did something similar once trying to avoid a rider that lowsided right in front of me. But I didn't jump the downed bike. I jumped a dirt mound that was just off the road with a Buell XB9S.
  3. Got a ticket in Dalton once for accelerating to 55mph about "10 feet before the 55mph sign", per the douchebag Datlon cop. Once the ticket was written, I politely told him what I thought of him, and that shitty little town. Glad you got off with a warning.
  4. Older than you...I've done few 700 + mile days on a Buell 1125R, CBR600RR etc. Compression wraps took away any knee pain I had. I wore them on 1 leg for a few seasons. Techspec or stop grips help on longer rides. I am very aware of my riding position and technique. My "style" pretty much evolved into putting the least possible amount of energy into cornering. I'm very aware of how tightly I'm holding the bars, how much weight is on my wrists, how much effort I am putting into counter steering and leaning off the bike, etc. On shorter rides it makes little difference....but on a 500 mile ride where there could be many thousands of curves even saving a tiny bit of energy on a curve adds up.

  6. What would happen if these brave muslim women confronted an muslim man? You know...Islam.
  7. My last GM will be my last GM. Never has a problem with the motor or trans. Everything else started going at 70k.
  8. I went the direction of a phone with a big-ass battery.
  9. Got a second complete sets of wheels for the CB500x via ebay. One will for mostly street, the other for gravel, dirt, etc.
  10. The only one I would make a point to avoid is Fram. The last 3 I've bought were WIX, HiFlo, and OEM (Honda).
  11. On the Buell 1125R, you pretty much had to put the kickstand in the oil pan...so a rear stand was pretty much necessary for oil changes (or get really creative with aluminum foil). On the 2011-ish ZX6R, wasn't the oil filter near the top of the motor...so oil would drip down the entire side during a change? On that HD VRSCR I just sold, you had to unbolt the bottom of the radiator to remove the oil filter. Wrenching on that bike was the biggest PITA. It was actually reasonably fun to ride, but the design was beyond stupid...that's the main reason I sold it.
  12. I'll be on the CB500x. I'll have 80/20 tires on it. I plan to do some easy gravel and dirt roads.
  13. I don't love 4 wheels...lol
  14. Ha. The guy I bought it from works at Ianelli's. It's one of his personal cars. It was serviced there with full maintenance records. I agree, they have a really good reputation.
  15. It's an 07 2.0t Quattro.
  16. I assume you mean in foot race.
  17. These have been sold to a local hooligan.
  18. I won't just be a toy. There will probably be some other drivers, it gets good mileage, and I'll drive it in the winter An A4 Quattro isn't as fun a an 'M' but it checks the right boxes, and it's still pretty fun.
  19. I was just on the BB site today. I need hardware to mount a brake rotor. Is it a card or just a number you can send?
  20. Sorry to disappoint everyone but I picked up that A4. Clean Carfax, 2 owners, full maintenance history. High mileage, but interior, exterior, mechanically it's 9/10. I got it from a friend of a friend. Got it for a a really good price. Actually bought it with money I had from selling a snowblower, stereo equipment, and a few firearms... didn't even have to touch the VFR or Vrscr $$
  21. Just drop off the MT. I'll get the tires mounted and even break them in for you Not sure what it would cost to ship tires
  22. First link not working https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mpo/d/pirelli-angel-gtzrzr/6584028303.html
