Thanks. I bought 4.

I've got a Yosh R77 full system on my CBR. I like it a lot. Only added about 4 HP at top end but gave me lot's more low down. Apparently Arnold doesn't like it. Glad I'm not a Californicator.

Cruisers are ok. I'm just glad they're not a mandate. You guys have some nice ones & I've ridden a few but I'm just not ready for that.

That's just plain silly.

Good luck with that. Hope you don't end up dead.

Welcome to the site. Nice choice of bike.

I haven't felt silly yet & I'm 52. Love the look on the cop's face & the change in his demeanor when I take my helmet off. Welcome to the site.

How's he fit those big brass balls in that little kayak & doesn't it affect the bouyancy?

Looks good.

So the moral to the story is: Don't be an ass & tailgate. Don't be an ass & camp out in the passing lane with your cruise control on going maybe 1 or 2 mph faster than traffic in the right lane. Dont be an ass & try to exact revenge when you meet another ass (Although you claim not, I do believe your pants are on fire. Can you honestly say that you still would have made such an abrupt, last second lane change if there was no one behind you.) When driving in the USA I come up behind someone such as you I simply put on my right signal, give a wide berth & pass on the right. If I'm driving in Europe & I'm coming up on someone in the passing lane I simply put on the left turn signal & they get the hell out of the way with no hard feelings. Drive (ride) with logic not emotion. It's safer & less people will think you're an ass.

I've been running 55s on my CBR for 3 sets now. The change was positive with quicker turn ins as said. They will give you about 3% taller gearing than stock though. Going down a tooth in front with the tire change will give you about 3% shorter gearing than stock.

I went out for about a 60 mile putt today. With road temps cool & salt water plentiful it was only a putt & not a ride though. (It did help a bit with the P.M.S.) Now I'm waiting for the bike to cool before I take the hose to it. Happy New Year.

Does not compute. Been in a good working relationship with my best friend & wife for 30+ years now. Good luck on dealing with your strange perceptions.

It says a lot about the company you work for when they want you to take more responsibility for less pay. What it says is that they are greedy bastards (& what company isn't.) This is the price we pay for living in a "free" society. Good luck.

Jesus, the guy's probably smarter than you are. Imagine that.

Welcome to the site. Hope to see you on the road after hibernation.

Good luck man! Sorry for your circumstances right before the holidays & all. Play some blues & drink some beer. This will help.

I've got PMS (parked motorcycle syndrom).

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. I'm all for a track day or two after the gravel thrashing I took in October.

Telling ya now they will not sell for crap and in a year you will be able to pick one up for like 7900.

I agree. With competition like the new Triumph Speed Triple & the Kawasaki Z1000 & now the Ninja 1000 Honda will have problems selling many of these.

I remember the over 700cc tariff well. I bought a new 700cc 1986 Yamaha Fazer. It was short stroked from the 750cc version sold elsewhere due to the tariff. Not a bad bike for the day & I surely wasn't going to pay a tariff & I surely wasn't going to buy a harley.

The first bike I ever owned was great in the snow (1973 Yamaha 360 enduro with knobbies & a huge rear sprocket). I used to take it out in the snowy trails in the back 40 & enjoy the rooster tails. Subsequent bikes have not been quite as good in the snow. I had my CBR600RR out one night (very) late in the season one time. It was clear when I left the house & there was about 2 inches of the white stuff on the roads when I got back home. Not a ride I wish to repeat.

Take the Greyhound.

WTF? I met a guy in Texas that was driving in New Jersey & got 2 years in jail in New York for an unregistered handgun. He had the unfortunate experience of driving on the same road that a presidental motorcade was on & then getting pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Hope everybody that reads this has better luck.
