  1. I'm going to order some, I'm just not sure of the consistency, sounds like its thick like hair gel or pomade
  2. Porter, my stuff comes from any drug store, Walmart, meijer whatever.
  3. What do you have left, if you don't mind me asking?
  4. I know there are some fancy expensive beard products out there, but the previous product, and then this product brushed into my beard after a shower works fantastic. http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/garnier-fructis-haircare-triple-nutrition-miracle-dry-oil-for-hair%2c-body%2c-%26-face/ID=prod6177058-product?ext=gooBeauty_PLA_Hair_ampersand_Scalp_Treatments_prod6177058_pla&adtype=pla&kpid=sku6157180&sst=52b2ffa9-505d-d708-ca98-00004e3d41bf&kpid=sku6157180
  5. If you mix this with some conditioner, it will really help the itch factor, along with drying out skin issue.. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=409745&catid=183385&aid=338666&aparam=409745&kpid=409745&CAWELAID=120142990000047299&CAGPSPN=pla&kpid=409745
  6. I totally forgot about this thing! I bought my wr in June. I screwed up. Hope someone enjoys it and uses it as it's intended
  7. All responses are great. you've come to the right place for info.
  8. ^^ what Todd said. Also check the date stamp. Tires while sometimes look good, will dry out and turn into ice skates.
  9. just sign up for the novice class. Theres classroom time, and track time. mid ohio has a wonderful novice program.
  10. i should give some detail on that session. We were playing a common track day game called leap frog. the control rider leads a lap, and then you lead a lap, and then the control rider will lead another lap, and show you your problem areas, and what to do to fix it. If you noticed at one point, the CR points at a spot on the track. He was telling me my bike should be there, not where I was at the previous lap. In novice, there is no passing, unless the pass is negotiated by the CR which you can also see happen in my video.
  11. another hint- youtube the track you want to ride so you have an idea of what it is. i run pilot powers. drop the pressure down to 27/27 on my sv. one of my go pro vids at mid ohio... my lines are sloppy, and I'm not a very consistent rider, but it sure was fun!
  12. While mid ohio is a fantastic track, I like to suggest putnam for a first track day. I have no idea what your riding level is, but for some people having a direct line of sight makes learning the track game little easier at first. Mid ohio doesn't have near the line of sight putnam does, and mid ohio also has some pretty good elevation change. Mid ohio is an absolute hoot IMO though. They have a wonderful novice program. As far as getting to the track, I use a truck, and trailer. I have a honda elcamino ( errr I mean ridgeline) and I pull a 6x10 open trailer. As everyone said, go with someone the first time. Novice class. I don't care if you've ridden on the street for 50 years and old the world record at deals gap. water cooler bananas water light snacks tools well rested leave your ego parked on the back porch at home. enjoy. On the topic of learning the track at your own pace. Novice. Put yourself in the slowest group. It will be painfully slow, but you will learn the lines. As you feel more comfortable, you can move up in the groups(novice has sub groups). My first time ( and only time) at mid ohio. I wanted to learn the track, so I stuck myself in group 6 out of 9 total groups. By the end of the day, I had my own control rider, and we were going out in front of the "Fast" group. Probably the most fun track day to date.
  13. I would gladly do it myself if I had a few people I could rely on to get it done. That being said all my buddies are pretty swamped these days and really can't dedicate time to the project. I'm being quoted about 10k for the entire project . Concrete and all.
  14. That's as much room as I've got. I have a 24x30 garage also, this is really just spill over/storage.
  15. I need to find some trails for the winter riding adventures this season.
  16. I'm going to be building a small workshop in the spring. I keep going back and forth between pole barn style, or standard stick build. The building is going to be 12x14 with a 9 foot standard single car garage door. I want the overall structure to be 12 foot high with an overhead loft. I would like a walk door off the back of the building. It will have a concrete floor also. I'm planning to use vinyl siding, matching the gable ends on my house. I will be heating the building via kerosene to start, but down the road will have natural gas. I will be using it as a small motorcycle workshop/storage. I plan to have a lift, and tire changer in the barn. Please school me.
  17. The price tag of the distanzias is a bit crazy IMO for some season rubber. I may just do the 244s
  18. Just the part in my hair. Photography fail !
  19. This is my guess. I had a similar issue with my SV before I swapped oil and springs and set the sag properly. My front end just wanted to float. Very little road feel. It just felt disconnected, and I can remember going into a few corners and the front end just feeling like it was going to slide out.
  20. Have you ever set the sag? Maybe the weight distribution from front to rear is jacked.
  21. Yup, can't stand neck beard. must keep it trimmed off the neck. Another pet peeve of mine, is when guys let it get nasty, and it wraps up behind their ears and connects to the hair on the back of their neck! ACK!
