I'm confused as to what vvvpr is. I thought Casper exposed it as a guerilla marketing firm for hire, but I wouldn't expect such a business to be offended by our political "ignorance." P.S. I guess the trolling serves to bump the threads. If I were a mod, I would have made the mistake of banning this spammer from the start (like Twitter did) and deprived the board of all this amusement.

How. Much.

If the seller is outside of Ohio, and the bike has never been titled in Ohio, a notarized bill of sale could get you a title. If the seller is in Ohio, it's worth nothing more than peace of mind that the seller attests to it not being stolen. Ignoring the shady possibilities, it could be that the bike was converted from street to dedicated track use, and at some point in the changing of hands it was decided that it wasn't worth paying tax on anymore. If this is the case though, I would still want the actual title, regardless of whose name ended up on it last. If the bike has never been titled, then it should have an MCO with it. If it never had a VIN, that's another story.

This made me laugh. I will use this someday, probably to insult somebody else. Sorry I have nothing helpful to add. I just bought from what the dealer had in stock way back when.

I just assume that since I fail to generate much heat in the front tire with a pressure equal to or greater than the rear, I must be "doing it wrong" on corner entry or something.

I did get it, was just carrying on the sarcasm. Or maybe I needed the sarcasm font? Anyhow, I just came in to on this worthless thread.

The goal is to use pressure to manage heat generation and get the tire in its operating temperature range. Less air encourages heat generation, more air resists heat generation. Rule of thumb I was told on sportbike street tires is 10% pressure rise, which anywhere around 30 is basically 3psi. You're close, could probably have run 30/31 or maybe 30/30.5. Varies with the grip level of the track (and how much of it you're actually using). I seem to be in the minority running more in the rear than in the front. Basically it's because I ride the front like a pussy and need to drop the pressure to generate heat, whereas I can use the rear for most of what it's worth.

The dude whose name I copy/pasted out of that political spew. Duh.

I'm gonna move to Wisconsin and register to vote just so I can vote for Sensenbrenner.

Get me this TFSC 01 (to keep) and I'll do your seals. I don't have access to quality tools anymore. http://www.racetech.com/page/id/70 P.S. "rusty 848"'s buddy "Brian" was doing suspension for ridiculously low prices somewhere in the Columbus area awhile back. Do a search, maybe that guy is still around.

What you're looking for is adiabatic compression. There is an engine example on this page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_process Adiabatic means there is no heat transfer into or out of the system, so your calculated result is going to be higher than reality.

Maybe you were a dick to them on the internets. Best answer. Just inquire about it as if you are trying to figure out exactly when it happened, don't even hint that you suspect anybody in particular. Next best answer if it bothers you that much. I would not get on their bad side in any way shape or form. USPS is pretty much a government agency, and therefore probably does not give two shits about customer service. Your only expectation of quality service probably comes from your relationship with the individual that will probably be delivering your mail for their entire career. I worry that I piss off the guy that delivers my mail by never emptying my mailbox. I think when it gets full he stops stuffing the junk flyers in there, but if I'm actually expecting something important I make sure it's empty. I never trust any outgoing mail in that box, I just drive through the post office on my way out of the neighborhood.

Out of curiosity and since it doesn't matter anymore anyway, what were your old boss's initials?

Something like that. Tore apart a buddy's to have the gears undercut, and while it was apart installed some oiling mod to fix this (routes higher-pressure oil from somewhere in the tranny direct to the head). Of course, the motor was fine for the first 14,000 or so without it. P.S. Those bikes are sick - we used to race heads-up at 11.6 when I had my F4i. Phucker weighs 600+ and will pull the front wheel rather than break rear traction.

I'll take one if you can backdoor me one for cash and skip that whole paperwork and waiting part.

“Maybe we ought to save some of the costs when police or emergency responders go to the scene of a crash and the person is not wearing a helmet. Perhaps they ought to be left there like roadkill.” – Michael Dabbs, president of the Brain Injury Association of MichiganDon't really care about this one way or another, just thought the quote was entertaining. AMA wants you to hear all about it. http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=48621

On second thought, as long as you can stand it up on end, you should be able to dolly it. I used to easily wheel 300lb nitrogen cylinders around all the time, and I am not a big guy.

Open box. Move individual parts.

That's pretty phucking ballsy to actually unload and load a race car back there though.

A replacement frame has no VIN stamped on it. If it never had one in the first place, there's nothing illegal about it. I'm pretty sure transferring it yourself is illegal. Of course, it might give a potential buyer some peace of mind if you had a title and the old stamped neck to allude to where the other 99% of the bike came from. Then again, there's a reason people sell those on eBay. That being said, I wouldn't want anything to do with anything from AFJ. Not saying there's anything shady about it, just saying that looks like the bike that started the whole "LBTS" thing.

Yup. Next optional steps are removing everything that needs taped (lights, mirrors), replacing everything that will crack into pieces if it hits the ground (stock plastics), and replacing other expensive stock parts with cheaper and/or more durable alternatives (clip-ons, rearsets, faring stay, etc.). I'll leave it to the pros to argue about frame sliders, kickstands, electronic steering dampers and other controversial topics.

Always wore jeans on the street, and would NOT consider that ATGATT. Luckily never went down in them. I did feel sort of naked in that respect, but face it - if you really wanted to be prepared for the crash, you'd be caging it.

So how much do I have to pay to rent a... er... I mean... "be an instructor" for a day?
