Some of us still have to work... That's what's up with the "might" stuff. I'm not happy about it either.

"Where's my condom stash, gotta try this." That was pretty easy to explain.

Nice, so will you be racing this or the zx6 then? I was really hoping to see you and Craig's matching candy blue bikes on the track.

Also another good guess. I was too late to get any of the good numbers, haha.

This would've been my guess. 20 stacks x 200 per stack. I guess I'll go with 2500.

I hope so. I think even if I'm not riding Friday evening I might still come out for the festivities.

Amen to that

Prayers for a fast recovery. I've seen 2 "I just wrecked my bike" threads already this season and now this. Here's to hoping this is the end of it. Check your ego at the door when you head out to ride. Nothing to prove on a street ride. Not saying this was the case for any of these accidents, just adding to the original thought of taking it easy this year. I plan on doing a lot more street riding than I did last year and I need to make sure to follow my own advice.

Ouch! If only he were wearing one of those "If you can read this, the bitch fell off" shirts.

Wish I could say I was ready but I'm not. Getting closer though. Taking mine and Jinu's bikes for a tune this weekend. Then the only thing left to do is get fairings painted and put on. He and I are also like butt buddies, I think his wife hates me because he spends all his time "in my garage" if you know what I mean.

Awesome...looks like the toaster pulled it quite nicely! Here's to hoping I see that bike out at the track this year.

That looks like a blast! Maybe someday when I come to my senses and realize I'm blowing way too much money on racing the 675 I'll pick up one of these things and give it a shot.

I think there's more 675's in my garage than what the dealer has, lol.

:lol:

Really nice bike, I like it a lot. Saw one at the Honda dealership near my house, probably my 2nd choice I would want for a street bike, after my street triple of course!

Absolutely. It will clearly say salvage title on it usually near the top and a lot of the times they will put it in the area where any liens would be. A rebuilt one will say rebuilt salvage and can be registered and plated.

Never, but he's persistent. I give him credit.

He shows it to chicks at the bar and points to his crotch.

I guess that answeres a lot of questions! Welcome to OR!

LOL at the 2nd video, that's how I used to get on my dirtbike when I was a kid. I was about 5' 1-2" riding a CR125. If I stalled it in the woods I had to make sure I was near a log or a stump so I could get up there to kick start it.

I unfortunately live in the Cleveland area full of overcrowded, flat, straight boring roads. But if you wanted to ride up with the parts some weekend, I'd be more than happy to help put a lowering link on your bike. It would take....30 minutes? I'm sure there's some guys down your way that would help too!

I'm always willing to lend a hand. Long story short...you can lower it if you do it right and it won't mess up the handling. Is it the ideal track/race setup? No, not without a lot of other work. But you've been realistic and said you have no plans to track it so don't worry about it. Do it if it makes you more comfortable on the bike, as that is what is really important. If I were closer I'd come over and help you do it for that matter, but Cbus is a bit far. Nothing too difficult about the job itself but you'll need to figure out some way to lift the bike by the frame and take all the weight off the rear tire/swingarm. The front forks can be raised with the help of a buddy on the other handlebar. Loosen the bolts on the clamps, lower to desired height, and tighten.

But if I can help a brother out, I will. I hate to see people half-ass things even if they aren't my own and doesn't affect me.

I'm not even on blue03636's side of the argument, earlier I said go ahead and lower it but don't just slap the lowering link on and call it done. Take 10 minutes to google suspension geometry and read an R6 forum or something. Raise the front forks up/lower the triple clamps however much you lower the rear and it will be a lot better. I'm no motoGP rider either, but I've been on my cousins improperly lowered R6 and it rode like crap. On the streets. At any speed. Even the straights. I lowered the triples on the forks for him, and it was noticably better.

So...everything is within spec? You could go with a slightly smaller exhaust shim on the .203 valves to get them more in the mid-range of the spec. But otherwise they look ok.
