  1. Selling this Pit Bull stand for single sided swing are bikes. Its in great shape. It has a VFR pin on it. I just bought it on a whim, but I really have plenty of ways to screw with the VFRs I work on. I dont use it, its collecting dust. .$125.00 I can drive to meet you in a reasonable mileage (cash only) or would rather not ship, but would be plus shipping.
  2. Aw...c'mon dude.... have some faith....☺
  3. Frickn Awesome, back from the dead, and rides like his hair on fire.... Now speedo---- KPH or MPH?
  4. Adding --- on Last tip- once you got good pressure and speed bleeders tight, pull your lever back and lock the brakes with a zip tie and let sit over nite. All air will travel to the top of the reservoir, your lever will be solid, better than before.
  5. Well you know, first you have to pass the brake mechanix coordination test.... Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Next bend over to hands on the ground and your on all fours. Then kick your right leg out..... Next bark...... Got that far? Yup you pass. --Ok its silly but just to say its ez. 😁 All kidding aside, go buy speed bleeders and replace the stockers. It make it waaaaay easier on the bleed and generally you can skip needing a pump. Also go steal your wife turkey baster, It's used to suck all the fluid out of the reservoirs. Do that first and clean the shit outta each, paper towel the inside, then hit the nasty corners with Qtips. Clean! Clean! Clean! Then go from there and refill. You can now just pump clean fluid thru to the new speedbleeders, a little at a time, of course with plastic hose attached. (think Lowes, cheap). Another cheapo step could be with a punched hole in a jam jar, with the plastic hose fed in, so you can watch for bubbles. - (I have the Mityvac plastic containers) You can feeeeel when you are pumping good fluid and tighten up the speed bleeders. Its simple, but very basic is what you need. http://www.speedbleeder.com/ GL
  6. Buy that '82 Suzuki thats for sale here.
  7. Awhile back CSC - you said you grow hops for brewing beer... so Hopper Hopper________
  8. Its interesting that he was nominated by Reagan.
  9. Tempting, but I'm Dayton to come look at it.... CL link - no go....
  10. Waaaaaay Cool! Gimme that bike! --- $15K Ouch! Headers are by S&S -- they will have to botch the production parts for the regs...
  11. Interesting you say that. I stand and move up and down quite often on a longer ride. Also when I know I am going to attack a major group of twistys, I stand up and down a few times to shake off any stiffness and to get my brain and focus up to 10/10ths to remind myself any effe ups are not acceptable. My roots are from motocross so standing on any bike is no big deal...
  12. Agree to take your fav pain killer before a longer ride. Also with a new bike, the ergos a slightly different than your other rides, so you are awakening muscles that you didnt know you had. Then same kinda deal... every year early in the season we are out of "riding shape" and by the end of the season, that stuff doesnt bother as much. (Every year early in the season, my shoulders screen - " Here I am!") -- - Another tip - try a throttle rocker.. that helps big or right hand/wrist/arm fatigue. -- Also agree with ricer -- playing with seats/bars/windscreens -- ergos can have a positive help too. -- Good luck... (Gawd, what I wouldnt give to be 39 again...) I laugh at plenty of my VFR guys when they whine about "oh the ergos are so low!" - Jeez, I put on the lower stock bars and it seems to fit me better, and I'm prolly a tic or two older.
  13. Running Bosch or Purolator... at about $6 or I can pay more than double for the Honda OEM filter... (Made by Honeywell or Fram)
  14. Wow! That is cool! Is that a T shirt?

  16. Yeowzha! Its purty... Oh shit, I am damn near a neighbor...
  17. Hi The classic saying on being a new rider--- You get a full bucket of luck and an empty bucket for skill. When you start out, you are mostly using up the luck bucket. Your job is to fill up the skill bucket before the luck bucket runs out. Best wishes and welcome to riding. - Practice as much as you can, and as been mentioned, find a more experienced buddy to ride with and ask lots of questions..
  18. i was sipping beer when I read this... You made me pass half a mouthful of brew threw my nose.... (funny as hell...)
  19. Dealers will try to get an extra point or two for thier own profit. Avoid that route.
  20. I'm the admitted VFR800 addict.. Get a ride on a 5th gen or any of the others.....
