If you're spending your time thinking about getting your knee down, you're not thinking enough about the corner. Knee dragging does not make you faster.

I wave most of the time. Probably 75-80% of the time, I get a wave back, from all sorts of bikes, scooters, Hardleys, Goldwings, BMW, Spyders, all of them usually wave back. The ones that don't are the Asian Sumo riders, especially those that go by jbot around here.

Fixed.

It didn't show in your riding today!

I had a great time! Thanks for leading Hutch! I finally got to meat the jbot. What a letdown, I have to say. Streets, I hope you noticed me turning off, and waving you on! I decided to stop by my dad's place to help him with a little bit of stuff he's doing on the house. I got to work on improving my skills with some things that I have read about, weighting the pegs, pointing my chin, etc. and it made things feel much better! I just got home a few minutes ago, after picking up some Rt. 62 BBQ for dinner. Man, I am whooped!

I'm gonna be in Newark around 1:45, if you check this before you head out! The speedway is closed near tyhe KFC, so fuel up before getting there.

ATGATT I'm thinking about this. We'll see how soon we get done at church. I might meet up at 541 and 79 if I go. If I'm there when you roll by, I'm in. If not, I'm out!

Gee, thanks for making me feel bad for not stopping! Had I known you were having troubles, I would've stopped in a heartbeat! I had no idea! I would've stopped to just socialize if the babysitter wasn't in a hurry to leave that day!

tbut, does the phone seem to run any different after rooting, before doign anything else? I didn't notice a difference with my current phone, but when I was using my Hero, which ran a sluggish 2.1, it did seem to run better by JUST rooting.

Pics or it didn't happen.

And now you all know why I moved away from there!

for DTM Brian to get a discount on a tune?

All of the answers I've read in here about the fuel retailers mirrors what a friend has told me about their station. They make pennies on the gallon.

GLWS! Those are some nice bikes, and the Jardine pipes that I've heard on them sound NICE!

Casper? We already got one for our next addition to te family, or I would be considering this one! Looks nice. Oh, wait... LBTS GLWS.

I saw you talking about it in another thread a while back, and that's what I figured you were talking about! It might top out better than my Ninja 250! It all depends on what I end up with for work. If I can get 2 Saturdays in a row off, I'll try to make it out for a little while, have to be home before 2 for a kids birthday party.

have a damp, dark, dirty basement available...

I thought we were talking real world though. Most places where the speed limit is 35 MPH, there's not enough distance between stops to to cruise enough to offset to amount of fuel burnt by accelerating to get up to speed. Lower RPM's does not necessarily equal less fuel consumption. If the engine makes a big amount of torque in the lower RPM range, it will. More power doesn't necessarily mean more fuel consumption, either. It's all about combustion efficiency. On aerodynamics. Which is going to make the engine work harder? A van that's practically throwing a brick into the wind, or a sports car that's optimized to cut through the wind. To answer this, while driving down the road, open your window, stick your hand out. Start with the palm vertical to the ground, representing the van, then put it horizontal, parallel to the ground, representing the sports car. Which one makes you exert more force to keep your arm straight? Am I way out in left field on this?

Wait a minute now... MJ's a girl? That changes everything.

The best way I know to test the Os sensor is with a lab scope, to make sure it have lot's of activity, and a fast response. Back in the day, the O2 sensor didn't do squat compared to th eimpact they have on how the vehicle runs these days!

Yamahopper?

You'd be surprised, I'm sure!

I agree with you IF the next stop is far away enough to average it out. If it's just a couple blocks, you're not going to make it up in cruising.

It is a fact that winter blend fuel is different to make startup easier, and such, I forget all the reasoning behind it. The oxygenates that they use will reduce fuel economy. The engine really see pretty much the same operating temperature year around, by design. They have to maintain a certain temperature to stay efficient enough to pass by the EPA. Many modern engines run temperatures that would have scared us to death 25 years ago. Back then, 200 degrees was borderline overheating, but now some vehicles run up to about 230 degrees before turning on the electric cooling fans!
