  1. How 'bout Vodka? Inject and OD on cheap Vodka, that will do it....
  2. Good looking ride, its a shame its locked....
  3. 30 miles? That's a no brainer. (All highway?) -- Consider now - you have to add car costs to break even though.......
  4. Throwing it out there. On the VFR forum I'm on uses the exact same forum software and the admin came up with a tab -- the last 3 days content, replacing the unread content button. It seems to follow better than the strait unread content... Whadabout that idea?
  5. Dear Honda, Please build......... Thank you
  6. I'm def a cheap car addict. I am on my 3rd older Honda Accord that I bought with 91K miles($2000) , and now it has 160k, & will run it to 230 ish.... Its kinda formula now, buy at 90,000ish miles, sell at over 200k. - Agreed more money for bikes.... Only have 2 bikes now, but for a while I had $30k worth of bikes and a $3000 car.....
  7. Joe's is the only Dayton area Triumph dealer I know of. Can't say I have experience with them - I never will let a dealer or anybody other than me work on my rides.

    Holy crap

    Wow! Gets the blood pumping..Lotsa chances for disaster!
  9. On the VFR forums/threads, its an over discussed topic on how the spot welds on the K&N nut on the end of the filter fatigue and create a leak.... No chance I'm using one of those... And a btw - here's a good chart on oil filter alternatives http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterXRef.html Cheers and beers....
  10. Nice wheels....check me in the spring....
  11. yeah I have been been screwing with the network settings and figured out how to disable any WiFi stuff. I helped some, but still a couple times a surf session, it decides something is wrong and goes looking for another network. Drives me nutz... Cortana? That's MicroSofts version of an active spy to data mine your every move even if you dont want it to. (bastards)
  12. Hate to dredge up an oldish thread, but... I did the Win 10 conversion and compared the 8.1 it keeps trying to find other networks, dropping off the internet. But I am direct cable to the modem via Ethernet and then direct cable to TW. I have no intention of going Wi Fi in my house. Any hints on setting up this POS so it stops looking for alternate networks that arent there? Thanks for any help....
  13. Whose gonna write a Cortana killer patch?
  14. Couldnt figure out what was on sale and what was not.
  15. I second that - get a paint brush, brush around all the dirty shit, hose off.
  16. Thanks I.P. - I guess after screwing with VFRs - my own and others, for 17years, you could probly say I know a few things VFR, even in the nasty pink spots.
  17. Hey oldschool --- I am probly the resident 5th gen VFR addict. I have ridden the 6th gens, but to me the VTEC sucks. Anyhoo - Its just me,but I look for the lowest mile, cleanest bike I can find. Then on the 5th gens, there were 2 versions, MK1 ('98s and'99s) and MK2 (00s and 01s). The MK1 have slightly larger headers and no cat, and a manual fast idle lever, and a tic more ponies over the MK2s. Also the Fi in the MK1s are an open loop system were the MK2s were a closed loop system. The weak link in any is the charging system sucks, but that can be fixed for a long life if you know what to do. Throwing it out there, the most coveted is a clean '99. The engines are essentially bullet proof, there are plenty of 100k mile examples. Maintenance is straight forward stuff, valve adjustments are generally check once over 32k miles and then forget it. Other stuff - Most guys upgrade the suspension, the stock is kinda soft and steers like a truck. After an upgrade, its a respectable corner carver. Then some guys like the linked brakes and some curse them, there are ways around that. (I installed RC51 brakes.) Really as a group, the thing is a blank canvas and the farkles will flow. Look at my albums for ideas. I would be happy to go check one out if you want to look at one. PM anytime.
  18. Road a buddy's R3 recently and it was a riot. Beat the snot out of it and engine screaming in 3rd and I'm doing a whole 65. Fun as hell. Definitely would be interesting in working on conservation of momentum in the twists.
  19. Cool looking Triple you got there Scott. How long you been riding?
