mello dude

May the bluebird of happiness bring you intense, incurable jock itch.

Waaaaay da minute - I just caught you have a '89 Accord at 432k? Holy shit! (again) Same engine or rebuilt? (I had an '88 I sold at 206k and now have a '90 at 125k)

251k ? Holy shit! So your running T6 - huh....

Nothing super complicated, mostly motorcycle stuff, worse case would be a triple like this: Right now I just have a simple aluminum bracket design to do. A shop would gig me pretty good for the time. I would rather not pay their overhead rate.

Hey - I am an automotive engineer by trade, and am looking for someone to do some moonlite work on design jobs. Need to be able to create the model and process file, and get the file ready to drop to the machine shop for CNC or lazar cutting. This is an occasional gig, would be extra pocket bucks for you. PM me if interested or if you know anybody that could do this. --------- btw- wouldnt mind suggestions on Dayton area shops that would be wiiling to work with me.

Seems to be an annual rumor on the VFR forums. Hope its true, but the classic line goes - I'll believe it when I see it.

IP --- ^^^^ -- 200K on an F4i is indeed impressive, but the guy never did answer your oil question.

^^^ Agree with that, I havent done my winter changes yet and I'm probly gonna go with it.

If Honda had a CBR750RR, I would have to have one in my garage.

There are a lot of bike guys who love the stuff, couldnt count 'em all and their bikes havent blown up. I'm really on the fence. As an engineer geek foole, I would like to see some data or an apples to apples test with a top motorcycle oil to push me off the fence. Maybe that's just too much to ask. Still it's designed as diesel engine oil and putting it in a motorcycle kinda gives me a wedgie..

I dont think I would do it on a new bike, its still in break-in mode.

The only way for sure to know if your oil is ok or not is to get it tested. Blackstone Labs does that kind of work. I've seen tests at 4k were they said the oil needs to be changed now, and 8k where they said they oil could go for another couple thousand. It comes down to your riding style how it affects the oil you use. I havent done the test but I would like to take a data point and see if I can go a bit farther or even find out I'm better where I'm at now. (I go 3 to 4k)

Jeez, that sweeper didnt look that difficult. Foole -- Squid powered.

I admit I'm cheap so I have avoided going to a smartphone. I saw an ad for Walmart smartphone service for $45 for unlimited. That's a good discount over others. What's the good, the bad and the ugly. School me.

That's sweet - thanks!

Hey VFR guy -

Somehow, this just fits this forum. I kinda LMAO... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjENG1oueEA&feature=player_embedded

That's pretty cool! I bet its a riot in the twists..

-- Not sure of what all I will be doing but my understanding is that I will be more a do it all project engineer and keep all the shit moving and coordinated to get it ready for production. I will report to the Admin side. I am looking forward to it! -- I'm a former Delphi engineer guy and used Stillwater for testing fixtures. Cant remember the names of people I worked with.

Got the job with F.tech R & D. My understanding is they develop the product for F & P to manufacture.

Some terms I havent heard --- Torrenting? Seeding? Whats that?

Thanks for the tip!

Get a VFR and stick a handle bar kit on it. This one was DIY.
