  1. Pending surgery I may be back sooner than you think.
  2. RVs can go 30 years, they are like a home loan.
  3. Sv run really well there.
  4. Tim may need some time to relax after going to school last Friday.
  5. Just be happy that you survived Ron at his finest.
  6. Honestly, if it wasn't leaking I would just use it.
  7. I saw. I'm not putting that other one back on.
  8. Yes you do. I also got some setup suggestions to completely remove the head shake.
  9. I would probably do it again, I'm not sure about Ron.
  10. For those I'm not friends with on FB I figured I would put something on here for all that knew Ryan Hill. Last year after he passed I decided to buy his 750 and run the endurance race on it, it's something he wanted to do. We kept the group to close friends and just wanted to have fun and bring the bike home. We had myself, @RonStopable, @RVTPilot, and Bill riding with @TimTheAzn, @J_Copeland and Ron's brother helping with pit stops. I spent the better part of 2 months going through this bike trying to make sure it would survive the 4 hours. Ron and I haven't had a ton of suspension setup time and we made some poor choices when we were able to ride it. Friday came and we had no choice but to get it sorted. It's by no means perfect but it's very rideable by the end of Friday. We make one small change for the race Saturday and ride through any other issues that still persist. Things are going great until about the 3 hour mark when Bill comes in and says the clutch is starring to slip. We were determined to finish for Ryan epically since his mom came out to watch. The last stint I put is was probably the hardest I have had to do. Nursing the clutch on shifts and the bike only ruining about 120-125mph before it would slip made for very slow straights. Tim throws me a 10 min to go sign and I start taking to Ryan, asking him to help make sure the bike makes it. What feels like 40 min goes by and I see the checkered. I have never been so excited to see a checked in my life. Crossing the finish I started to cry and almost blew turn 1 lol. While none of us were setting the world on fire with the lap times it was a great adventure with a great group of guys. @Jester_ and @TRMN8TR were a huge help since they have ran these before and gave us a lot of pointers. Thank you everyone for the help. The shirts were also a huge success. I'll have more pics once I get them from @Photos by Marty and maybe Ron can post up what video he has from the gopro.
  11. I talked to Sam this weekend at Pitt, he said I group was almost sold out and A group was maybe 3/4 full.
  12. Sport like a Dunlop Q3, Pirelli Rosso Corsa etc. you will probably only get 3000-5000ish miles out of. Depends if you really need the added grip vs a sport tour tire or if any of us would really notice a difference on the street.
  13. That's because you ride like an ass
  14. Trying to work out either Nelson or Blackhawk with ccs
  15. Damn, I have a sweet mongoose walmart mountain bike full suspension that I could snap in half.
  16. Sitting out 2 years, I'm way off pace. Will you be at WERA Pitt this weekend?
  17. Can't make that one, either Blackhawk with CCS or Nelson's that weekend.
  18. Man Andrew, I need to get back out and run with you. Doubt I can keep up though.
  19. This was funny once you got up.
  20. I have not but @TRMN8TR has had really good luck with him.
  21. Maybe try J.D. Hord, not sure what all he does. https://www.hordpower.com/
  22. Maybe, trying to work out the logistics of it.
  23. I can try one at the local shop. Problem I usually have is long legs and short arms.
