All my teachers were old and nasty, I feel wronged!

Put 3700 on the ZRX from March to July. Totaled the ZRX (hit a dog), and was down for about 4 weeks. Bought the FZ1 in August and have about 2300...so 6000 for the year. My best year was 17,000 and my worst year was 2,200 since I started riding on the road in 1989. Met a gentalman last week in McConnelsville with an FJR1300, claimed he had 43,000 for the year...the bike did show 294,000! He said it had never been opened up.

Welcome to the madness!

For twenty years Mid-Ohio was the most attended race in the series, but the year of the season final debacle, attendance started falling. Started nose diving after DMG bought the rights, and attendance has just not been the same. In the past, the race was promoted (radio advertisements, bill boards, local news plugs). There has been nothing like that for the last 5-8 years. They really need a big money sponsor (like honda was in the past). DMG drove Honda and Kawasaki out of the series, and the two of them accounted for some major dollars for many of the rounds. The economy in the rust belt has been bad, but I think DMG and the lack of advertisement have had more to do with this than anything else.

Yamaha FZ1 Either Generation although 1st Gen is Better Kawasaki Z1000 any year, but the 2010 and newer is a better bike...the Ninja 1000 (Not ZX-10R) is even better with some wind protection.

Manufacturers have to meet a maximum individual and maximum average sound and emission output, plus with the newer ARB (Use to be CARB) EPA standards, the US is more stringent than Europe. BMW does not sell the volume, or as big of range as Kawasaki, so they can be under the maximum average, and allow the S1000RR to be at the maximum individual rating for emissions and noise. BMW does not sell dirt bikes and ATV's which hurts all the Japanese manufacturers average for the company. All of the European manufactures are taking advantage of this in the states...the Japanese company's have to sacrifice across the board.

Heading to Barber for the Superbike races

Appears very clean! Would love to have one to compliment my ZRX, but its not in the cards right now. See them from time to time, but very rare to see them this clean. Great do it all bike, buckets of torque and plenty fast! Whoever ends up with it will be lucky! Good luck to your friend.

Welcome! Great way to learn your bike. BG holds a special place in my heart, went to school and met my wife there.

I hate that clip!

If that is not an example of assault with a deadly weapon, I am not sure what is? If I did that to a police officer, what do you think the outcome would be? Is there a double standard? Although you are probably right, as the state does not want us to defend ourselves, and would jump at the chance to make an example. The sad part...she would end up being the victim.

When she hit him and kept going...was the moment she would take a bullet from me! That was assault with a deadly weapon...PERIOD. Everyday People like her think they can get away with putting a life in danger. That video enraged me. Rant Over

The big issue here... 95 ZX7 has a 5.5" Rim and OEM Tire was 180/55-17 They did not go to the 6" Rim until 96 The rim really does not fit a 190 series, and the narrow size is throwing off the intended crown/profile. This combo will work, but the feel and turn-in will be off.

This hits home, as I have a 10, 8, and 6 year old at home. Its unfortunate, but he may always remember his birthday as the day his friend passed. Your family and the family of Robert is in our prayers.

The Ohio list reads like a who's who in the Bed Wetting and Rino crowd.

Sounds like float height issue or needle clip position. Verify the brand of jet kit installed, and find a qualified person to check the setup. The best would be find someone on this site close to you, that has the knowledge to help diagnose and fix the problem...there are many qualified persons here to help.

I need to see more of the chick...she looks hot from here!

You are correct, they are a private company and they can do as they please. My problem is that some corporate idiot probably has an issue with are military (lib or bed wetter), and this has nothing to do with what you claim, but rather personal politics. All in all, this is bad PR for a company any way you look at it.

How have you been Marty? Still active at Rider Forums?

Prayers your way brother
