I'm not a very big fan of befriending my bacon before I eat it.

It says "preview" DVD, not the whole movie.

A problem starting up nearly immediately after a fill-up is a really good indicator of bad gas. Another possibility is a clogged fuel cap drain that allowed rain or water from washing into the tank.
I've never worked on a cbr 600, but if you run some fuel out of the tank into a clear container, you'll be able to see the separate water and fuel.
Or you could drain the gas and run some new stuff and see if it changes. Add some Heet to the other stuff and run it in your car.

3- In ohio you're allowed 1 home built vehicle in your lifetime. You can build it from scratch but you have to document EVERY part that goes on it- receipts for every part, pictures of the build process, etc. They are VERY concerned about people stealing bikes and building a "new" bike out of the parts. You then have to have it inspected by a highway patrol inspection station and meet their requirements. IF you pass inspection, you will be granted a title for the vehicle. You actually create your own VIN number.

sv's
in Daily Ride
I love my sv.. It's enough bike for anyone.. I got lucky and picked mine up for $2500 with less than 5K on it. But craigslist is your friend. Also svrider.com but most of those guys are out if state, that's a good resource site for upgrades and quick fixes..There are a bunch of SVR members in ohio! I would know...
Anywho, Ryan, you really can't go wrong with an SV. The v-twin torque is addicting and really enjoyable on the street. At ~70hp, it won't run down an R6 on the highway, but nobody really needs to be doing 120+ on the street right?
In the twisties, the SV will really surprise a lot of people. In stock trim, the SV's bargain bin suspension will be the #1 performance concern. The bike is sprung for a 130lb rider and the suspension isn't adjustable.
Fortunately, buy-in on an SV is really low, so you can upgrade and customize it to suit your needs.

I can't wait to see some lap times compared to the best of Ducati and BMW.

The other day after being out riding and passing the same rider twice, the thrid time I saw him I waved and got a look of WTF....cuz I was back in my car... He had that dumb chicken comb mohawk helmet piece. I secretly laughed at everytime I saw it. Maybe I should drive with my helmet to not make the same mistake
So you waved at a bike from your car and he is the dumb one?
-
and have no clue how I didn't go batshit crazy...
You can't go someplace you're already at.
Exhibit A:
(I stripped naked outside once when one fell down my shirt when I was younger) -
At least something like "Filthy Midgets with Sheep" didn't come up.
1000rr's best performance to date, IMO.

I don't know why we don't see more $90,000 Confederates around.. I absolutely do value innovation. I don't see the Wraith competing with Harley. Ducati maybe. I don't want to see any business fail.
Wow, you really don't get it. It's not about JT competing with Harley, they can't compete WITH HIM.
My point in showing who he is/what he's designed, is to show that maybe he does understand where the motorcycle industry could go.
All JT said was that he could build an all-around better bike in his garage than Victory could come up with. He didn't say he wanted to go head to head with anybody in the marketplace.
-
I think you guys are missing the point here.
JT isn't saying that Victory needs to build a sportbike, per se. He's saying that they don't have the balls to build anything except for bikes that compete directly with HD. He's challenging them to create something NEW and exciting, not just another piece of butt jewelry for doctors and lawyers.
There are several bike companies in the US that can put out a handful of bikes a year, but with those small numbers, those companies can't really give us an American brand to be proud of. Polaris has the size and technology to do just that but instead their business model is "Let's see what slice of Harley pie we can get this year."
-
With little time or money Polaris would stomp this guy.
you obviously don't know who he is.
-
funny, but stupid.
this guy is pissed cause victory doesnt make a sport bike??
or what?
i mean i admit some of the victory styling just isnt my style (vision)
but i think they are pretty nice bikes
but they dont make race bikes.. you want a flat out performer look for something in that category
JT is actually doing Polaris a favor here. He's a pretty credible guy when it comes to American motorcycle design and his words should be taken pretty seriously. Maybe this is the poke that Polaris needs to get out from the Harley shadow.
This challenge isn't about him not liking their particular bikes, it's about the fact that the only thing they do is make bikes that are slightly different than HD's. He's trying to spur American motorcycle development, to grow the industry. He's saying that American bike makers do not have to compete for the same clientele. That Polaris can go after different riders- If they chose to.
Buying Indian is a great opportunity for Polaris, but if they just slap a Chief head on a Victory, it'll be a travesty.

Yep wheels and the years don't go back that far . Would any cbr wheels fit it?
All you gotta do is get wheels with the same number of spoke holes that your hubs have.
Get shorter spokes, assemble to your stock hubs and voila! sumo.
-
Kinda a thread highjack but it's related so I don't feel bad. Do you know what would fit on a 93 cr250 to supermoto it? I can't find shit
You talking about what wheels?
Warp 9 rims and a sumo spoke kit.

Chickens, Lambs, and Salmon also make delicious pet choices.
