    Fair enough, with my gearing and type of engine, getaway power is just a twist of the wrist away, I'm only 1500 rpm away from peak torque at that speed. Lol You can't compare your older FZR to the newer bikes. First, the older bikes didn't rev nearly as high to make peak power. I'm guessing the FZR peak power is around 11k? The new motors make peak power at close to 16k. Also, the gearbox is totally different. Our gearboxes, my Mille included, use a standard ratio whereas newer bikes use a close ratio box. The difference in gearing means in 6th gear on the highway where you and I might be right near the start of our power curve, these guys have thousands of rpm to go before starting to climb up the same curve, usually necessitating a downshift or two to get there faster. You damn kids and your 80 mph 1st gear ratios...

    WTF? That would get annoying as shit, don't the bars buzz a bit at that speed? My slackass big-V turns 4500 rpm at 80 mph, that's with -1 front, +2 rear....
  3. I just realized I've seen you before. Was stalking you in my silver, new-gen GTO on the highway one day.
  4. WTF. This has only been for sale for like 2 years. lol
  5. He would've been fined, tarred, feathered, and been sued had that interview been recorded and played in the states. That being said, it's awesome when you get a rider who really will speak his mind and have fun with things. Good to see. He's a funny motherfucker.
  6. Ahhhh, west-side. Beautiful over there. Love visiting Grand Haven in the summer. Rough winters though, break out the shovel, 4wd, and chains. Lake effect snow is a bitch.
  7. Agreed. I swear to God I-70 is a deathtrap through downtown Columbus...

    Hopefully that didn't come off as too aggressive. I was just trying to point out what a shit-hole this place usually is. Haha

    Metro Detroit police, Metro Flint police, and other bad city police forces don't give two shits about tinted windows and other vehicular bullshit up here. When you have multiple homicides, rapes, etc every night in a city that can't even afford to keep the lights on, shit like that is overlooked. This doesn't include the snooty, upscale areas like Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, etc though.
  15. ^ Ah yes, 18-24 yo's and motorcycles. Like flies to shit.
  16. And no, not wrong. Sad as it may be ORDN was pretty much founded on this shit. Gotta do something entertaining when not riding.

  17. If he didn't retort after I told him to "fuck off" then that thread was failed to begin with. haha

  18. I was looking for a full blown argument. Needed something to make the day go by! Oh well, he probably asked the mods to close it.

  19. WTF happened to our profanity thread? That was just about to get good.
