Is it that much worse than 555?

BTW... love that interceptor. It's a classic.

Sorry I couldn't make it today. Fundage has run out, and everything is breaking. The house, my car, and now my V-strom has cords showing through the back tire. The triple has the rear brake issue. Not so good.

Yeah, I might never again drink a sprite or kiss a blond chick.

It's the tool commonly used for backing out of wheelies that have gone past the balance point, and for maneuvering around at parking lot speeds. Now go back to sleep!

Thanks... I'll look into that. I will probably take it apart and lube everything, just for peace of mind.

Yes... Brembo. I tried them at home in front of my house, and they seemed fine. I will probably take it apart and make sure everything looks right.

And, it IS scenic (if you dare take your eyes off the road)!

Why? Less power for more money, and higher maintenance costs?

I had to brake really hard to miss a deer yesterday morning, so maybe that had something to do with it. It is possible my big feet are getting on the brake. I might need to adjust the lever down.

So, my Triple has like 6000 miles on it, and today on the way home (30 miles from home) the rear caliper locks up! What the hell? The rotor was smoking hot when I stopped. I pried the caliper open and didn't use the rear the whole way home. Anyone have any idea what the deal is? The fronts have been squealing pretty much since it's new.

Screw you for posting this. Now I feel ancient.

So, how did you get that chair and tv into the kitchen?

One time I was coming over a rise and accidentally clutched up a huge first gear wheelie (went to shift into 2nd and my hand slipped off the clutch). Scared the piss out of me, but I had a permagrin.

That I would love to see. I'll bet the front wheel is like 8 ft. off the ground on a beast like that.

It is a lot of fun. It's just something I want to do... don't know why exactly. I have dreams about it sometimes. You can't tell me you haven't done it accidentally on that bike. My front wheel is constantly coming up a few inches off the ground unintentionally.

Very cool! Video was well done. You have a great attitude and a lot of inner strength. I'd like to ride with you some time.

Sorry 'bout that. I guess I'm a political tease Some days I feel like an argument, some days not so much. Who do you believe for your facts and figures anyway? The media? Which side? Is Rush right? How about the left-leaning mainstream media? Are government published figures reliable? When it comes to all this stuff, I'm from Missouri (show me). I'd rather wait and see. I base my conclusions on what I can understand. Like I said before... ecomony declining, government programs increasing... the money has to come from somewhere. It's simplistic, but I believe you will see the trends I was talking about in the next 4 years.

Well, I'll admit defeat then. I hate arguing... it's so pointless. I don't have anything to win here. I don't care if you don't believe it. Let's just call it intuition.

We'll see who is right, and I'll let it rest at that. We could argue every point until we're both blue in the face, but the fact is that we will never convince each other, and I don't have the time or energy to try.

oh please... you know I'm not an expert. Just like you're not an expert. All I will say is that taxes will increase, cost of living will increase, and quality of life will decrease in the next 4 years.

Not haters... just a little older and wiser. You and your girl will change A LOT between 20 and 30.

I do! The Strom is a great bike. You won't find a more capable all-arounder.

It's simple cause and effect. You can play it off as fear-mongering, but the wheels have been set in motion. Care to wager about what will happen in the next 4 years?

lol... yes. Self ownership is a specialty of mine.
