Monstrosity

I must say, I had a freakin blast on it! I've always made fun of them being associated with HD. Well I ate my words today! A buddy was in town with his 1125 (naked model). He moded the bars but other than that it was mostly stock. Sounded good, great torque, and was comfy yet incredibly fast. Its got me re-thinking what I want to buy... How is the reliability of buells? I really thought I was going to hold out till I either found a good deal on a 07 or so Speed Triple, or Monster but I'm debating...

Out of curiosity what were the changes?

Join a gym! The nice thing about a gym atmosphere is everyone is working out around you. I have a gym in my basement and am a member at Fitworks and the Tallmadge Rec (work ins covers these). If you can work out in the mornings your test levels are the highest. Do big compound movements example: bench press, squat, powercleans, deadlifts, etc. This will help you burn more. Also throw in 10-20 minutes of cardio after every lifting session. Dont focus so much on iso expercies such as curls and skull crushers. Also abs are ok but watch doing to much if you have fat over them. You will build muscle and it will push the fat forward making you feel/look fatter. "Abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym". As far as diet.... MODERATION! I'm not one that believes in quote on quote diets. If I must eat out due to from time to time I travel for work I just try to make wise choices. Scrubway is always a good route (even though the taste isint always the best). Protein bars, pre made shakes, or even a handfull of assorted non salted nuts can all help suppress appetite. A slow digestive protein before bed will help curve appetite example: any casein form of protein "natural" peanut butter, milk, cottage cheese, assorted nuts, are all examples.

Just say NO!

Never read it.

When you've got the MVP and a bunch of stars guess the coach is next to go... Very disappointed with the game. The 4th they flat out just gave up.

I'd say you would need the advanced class, lol.

You could also get some braided line and some fittings. Russell makes most of what you need. If you know what your looking for try www.summitracing.com they should have everything in stock.

Fear and Loathing is one of my favorite movies!

I took the class years back. Your at Thompson in a controled environment. Gear: Helmet, Gloves, Jacket, Jeans, and over the ankle boots. Your ridding old F2's and F3's that are slightly geared and streetfightered. Scott did most of the talking. He went over everything from the powerband/tire air pressure/the benefit of having a flat spot on your tire/body positioning/etc. I was actually really impressed how he broke everything down. The bikes have an adjustable scrap bar so you wont flip. Take the class if you want to learn to wheelie. Your not on the Expressway or middle of traffic like many others learn to. You will hit the balance point. Whatever you do dont ride out their. Its just like a track day. You will physically and mentally tired by the end of the day. Definitely a lot of fun! p.s. make sure you squeeze the tank with your legs when landing. If not your twig and berries wont like it.... (Trust me I found out the hard way)

Not to join the hanging but I was thinking the same thing...

OMG...

Shits brewing up in Kent. Thank gawd, maybe all the drunks will hide instead of raising hell all night. Might get some sleep tonight.

Damn! Killin it

LOL, funny thing is thats what I was thinking when I saw it heheh..

750 for speed and wheelies. 1000's are too much for wheelies IMO. Most stunters are rockin 600's though.

Very powerful post... Follow your passion!

I dont go to bike night after a bad incident last year. Too many morons packed in like sardines acting like fools.

wonder if its been wheelied:p

I hated plyo. First time i did it i almost puked!

Its in human nature to make mistakes... I wont preach about whats right or wrong. RIP

I'm on the fence with what I want my next bike to be. I miss my Speed Triple (05) terribly. Out of all the bikes I had it suited my needs perfect. I could ride like a hooligan, comute, ride 2up, and minus a GSXR1000 on the highway I could keep up. I'm debating on a leftover 07 Super Duke, but for the same money the Z1000 seems very cool... Any thoughts? I've only rode one of the three.

Talked to him yesterday and seemed like a straight shooter. My old lady wants me to get another Speed Triple but I'd like to get the Z for the right price.
