  1. So do want.......makes the new monsters look fugly....
  2. Since your pointing out books to read - IMHO Nick Ienatch's book is the best in the biz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1893618072/ref=s9_simh_bw_p14_d2_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=1MBXT12JKKATYH17GVR4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1916116602&pf_rd_i=283155 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1884313469/ref=s9_simh_bw_p14_d2_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=1MBXT12JKKATYH17GVR4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1916116602&pf_rd_i=283155 Phreon, Metzler 880s are a cruiser tire, and not really a sporty tire. Probly not a good idea to go play sport riding on those donuts. Oversized? That will screw with handling big time to the negative. --4000 miles is like zero experience. Since you are a pilot, consider riding is like learning to fly, you need reps while riding with good technique so you can develop correct response by instinct when needed because its buried in your firmware in your brain. That takes lots of miles.
  3. Looks like my go to tire mount place - Tires Unlimited has gone under. Where do you go for off bike mounting/balance in Dayton area with fair pricing?
  4. Is that the kart track over in Camden? Who can play on the track too? What is required?
  5. For us IT and internet stupid, what does this do for us?
  6. Agreed - perfect first bike http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/105924-1992-suzuki-g500/
  7. Hallelujah! Finally someone who will work for racing and racers. Double fuck DMG.....
  8. Could I meet with him? I have done product development to manufacturing for quite a while. Maybe I could help? Or even help fund. PM please.
  9. That's quite impressive. The innovation to use pellets is a major step forward. I hope they have a patent. Some well funded companies will steal that in a heartbeat.
  10. That's brilliant! and true.. lol!
  11. Obviously I'm biased but http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/4596887125.html http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/4595691706.html
  12. I wont do any brake/clutch bleeding without installing speed bleeders. They save major headaches.
  13. I bet Honda figures that 50% of the market is going to dump the stock exhaust can no matter what, so they design the cheapest legal option to get the bike out the door. As a btw, the 5th gen exhaust cans bolt directly to the 8th gen and visa versa. Cool! I admit I went and looked at one, and its quite an attractive bike. I like it, but for the damn VTEC. -- Maybe there might be a future 5/8ths VFR coming to my garage in the future.
  14. I'm with you too --- I would love a chance to wring that Busa for some serious adrenaline. But when it come down to it, bike wise, I have always have been a twistys junkie. Give me miles of nasty twists and I'm in nirvana.
  15. One of my neighbors has a tricked out Busa and that thing flat out hauls ass. He passed me on the hwy at full bore and holy shit, it sounds like a champ car. BUT, on the way back from the ride, I took the lead and cut through some local twists. Busa guy couldnt handle it. 100hp VFR guy looses 200hp Busa guy.
  16. Pass! There are other bikes in better shape. You will dump money into it and end up spending more bucks than if you found one in great shape.
  17. Great thread, I'm long overdue for a WV trip.
  18. ^^^^ That's kinda cool --- kinda hard to tell what is going on....
