  1. Medium fast and I typically sweep. Have for last three years.
  2. I too have mild hypoglycemia and it can be very hard to control. My weight and eating habits are certainly a factor and I need to work on that.
  3. The rider did everything wrong. With an animal this size you accelerate through it as Heavy Duty stated. Both riders panicked, target fixated, and grabbed to much front brake. Rider 2 was following rider 1 rather than riding staggered. So much wrong in this video!
  4. Welcome! If this is you first ride street or dirt, I would go with something not intimidating and up right with your legs under you. Every bike IP mentioned is a good choice and will not overwhelm you while learning the ropes. Would advise against going with a full cruiser with forward controls. Having your legs and feet out in front of you makes learning harder and you will not be able to learn proper body position. Have a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250 for sale if you are interested (a friends bike that I prepped for spring, but he does not want it to come home). Have not advertised, but it's like new with 3400 miles and new tires. Good luck with the process, it will be fun!
  5. Barber did it and sunk millions with only the thought of riding/driving his collection on his perfect track. Was almost complete when the idea of making it a public venue was brought to light and they rebuilt half the track and grounds. Anything is possible at this point.

    If you are running 87 May meed to jump to 89 or 93 and see what happens. If the timing is advanced it may just be an octane thing. If not he will take care of you at no charge.

    Have you rode it yet? I am like a kid on Christmas morning when it comes to bike parts that are performance oriented.
  9. Welcome! Wooster is the trail head to 83. From Wooster south the road gets better and better.

    He turns things around fast. Have spent many hours on the phone with Ivan, his customer support is second to none.
  11. What ever you do, as stated earlier in this thread, do not go with oil free compressor. Get the old fashioned cast iron compressor with oil in the crankcase you can change. Just make sure you use a detergent free oil. You can find compressor specific oil most places that sell oil. May want to invest in an oil separator if you plan to spray with the unit.
  12. Thanks for hosting Sam! Wish we did not have to jet at the end. Great seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones. Paully Thanks! Sam forgot the spring compressor, you are welcome to use in the mean time. Will catch up with you sometime to get it. I work off Kelly close to your shop and get to Massillon often.
  13. As long as the filling is green I am in!
  14. I can bring race tech Spring compressor and KYB and Showa cartridge holders if needed.
  15. Hard to take advice when you don't demonstrate proper technique. Just saying...
  16. Most decent bike shops have aftermarket signals for cheap. Iron Pony has many for around 10 bucks a pair.

    RIP Prince!

    As one of my good friends put it "Prince is a fucking Pimp" Made great music and could out play most on any instrument you handed him. Real musical genius.
  18. I would notion that anti femanisam is more conservative than anything, to be more specific evangelical conservative. There is no doubt that femanisam has had a destructive role in the family unit.
  19. From Millersburge to Beverly, 83 is just an awesome road. Clean, wide, decent site lines, and from Coshockton south very little traffic.
  20. We're do you live? I am with IP someone needs to see/hear in person. Some drag is normal with multi POT calipers, but too much can lead to bad things.
  21. Its has turned into the Star Wars Senate scene!
  22. So you didn't remove diaphragms or fuel line connection o-rings? you have more than a simple rebuild kit to purchase!
  23. If you soaked the carbs with the pilot screw in, you will also need to replace the o-rings. The dip more than likely trashed them. If you did not remove the enrichment plungers, they will also need replaced. The cleaner will goo the rubber seal then turn hard when dry and the bike will run too rich.
