  1. When can I schedule a test drive. Maybe one of their watercraft or snowmobile engines would be better suited than a motorcycle engine. (i.e.: 1.8 liter supercharged 4 cylinder).
  2. Or you could tell her you will give up the drag strip but you are going to take up Isle of Man style street riding & you need to buy a new bike, proper for the new endeavor.
  3. You already know it's more dangerous than say, gardening or playing bridge. What would statistics do? If it's something you like to do, & I'm assuming it is, don't give in 1mm. Nip this in the bud because if you don't it is only the tip of the iceberg.
  4. Loud pipes attract unwanted attention. Although I do like the sound of my cbr with the Yoshimura full system on it I do like the stealth of a stock exhaust. Those gp exhausts on sport bikes & the straight pipe Hardleys are obnoxious. Loud colors save lives.
  5. 12 year old Sidi motocross boots. Best $266 I ever spent.
  6. Ok. It probably won't influence my vote. Amsterdam has the best seeds (so I am told) Yes on 3 it is. Capitalists have a plan. Stoners don't. Good luck with the hope. I think it's gonna pass.
  7. Hey Tony. Hope the German engineering works out well for you.
  8. I had not heard that home growers would be required to buy their plants from those 10 capitalist bastards. Do you have proof of this? It could influence my vote.
  9. The driver needs to be locked up for some years. I have come across a few like this in Ohio. The rider definitely could have avoided the collision by looking around the car instead of target fixating. There was still at least a clear half lane. I feel real sorry for the pillion. She didn't deserve this outcome at all.
  10. Deer are way more crazy & active during mating season (rut). I've had several close calls around this time of year therefore my season is over. Glad you got off easy Jerry.
  11. Very nice. You should be able to fuck with a few motorcycles in that.
  12. I knew it was the kid. Did you check for rocks in the exhaust?
  13. Are you absolutely sure it wasn't your kid letting the air out? Actually, Schrader valves with caps don't leak even if there is debris in the internals. As long as the seal with the rim & the exterior of the valve is intact. Did you change out the valves when you changed the tires? If not, next time, put on some Bridgeport's. My Honda shop manual says to replace the valve stems every time you replace the tires. This seems excessive & I don't know anybody who does this, but that's what they say.
  14. Sheds are are an eyesore & should not be allowed. At least that's what my HOA thinks. Sheds here must be attached to and aesthetically match the house.
  15. Excellent job by Brock's. That new ZX10R looks like it will have enough pep to keep up with traffic.
  16. Why do folks on Harley's get pissed off when I pass them? It seems that if they didn't want to get passed they wouldn't have bought a Harley. The guys on the stage whatever's remind me of the guys in the hot rod pickup trucks except the trucks are faster through the corners.
  17. What exactly were you googling when you came up with this gem?
  18. You will like this car in the winter. No Thrush, get the Cherry Bombs.
  19. Terry, on your recommendation we ran that section of 26 in the southbound direction yesterday & it was nice & grippy as promised. Thanks. On a side note, we also hit up 255 southbound & found Its condition very nice for running at pace. I had been avoiding 255 because of the bad publicity but obviously it was just a smear campaign.
  20. Nivin. Thanks for the invitation but we'll be out earlier & pushing further west. I mean south.
  21. Will wave if I see y'all.
  22. There's proof right there that lane splitting is dangerous & should be illegal everywhere forever.
  23. Legalities aside, a speedometer that reads high makes the rider think that the bike is faster than it really is. I would think that this is a good thing from a marketing perspective. It is interesting how tires effect speedo readings. Changing from a 50 to a 55 series rear tire gave me a 3% speedo correction but I lost 1.5% when the tire went from new to old. Also, speedo readings are way high when cornering due to the fact that the effective tire diameter decreases by several inches when leaned over. My winter plans are to do the 32,000 mile valve check & refresh the suspension on my cbr. Otherwise it's oil changes, stabil, & battery tenders.
