  1. Man I really love tls, congrats on the new bike. I honestly like tls better than an sv.
  2. The OR 5 year anniversary is another option
  3. Danballa will talk for days about his, they are nice though.
  4. Ran it in my katana no problems, but I also change it every 2k miles.
  5. I'm not an expert, but check the plugs to see if they are sparking, its easy to do and cheap to replace if so. Its possible a plug wire just came loose. Just guessing possibilities...
  6. The funny part os on the news they showed a picture of a car, dodge dynasty I think. Don't see how it could do 130, but then again I heard it was only 100mph.
  7. I'm mainly just gonna fix it for a bike to ride. The most id do for the time being it possibly change the handle bars to a cafe look. Reconrat- the wires are good and getting spark, we've tested them and the plugs. We're gonna more tests but ran outta time. My dad said he's almost positive its in the carb.
  8. Thanks, we need it. I never really seen him until I was like 7 because he worked thirds, then when he changed shifts I seen he was an alcoholic. He's changed A LOT in the past 7 years or so for the better.
  9. Looks fun, I rode an old kdx200 and it was wicked fast. The worst part is the fact my cousin failed to mention it had no front brakes whatsoever. After he put them on it was fun to ride for hours until the flat seat rashed the inside of my legs. Glad you wear gear, my dad never wears gear and went full throttle down the hill not knowing the brakes were out. Needless to say he came back with shit in his pants
  10. Ok some of you know already that I picked up a 73 cb500 for free, it needed work because it sat for 5 years with gas in it and I have done most of it already with the help of my dad. Starting from the beginning I cleaned the gas tank out, replaced fuel lines, and had my dad clean the carbs(I don't know carbs very well). Then I put new throttle cables on and my dad adjusted the clutch because the previous owner said it was slipping so hopefully it fixes it since there was a lot of play. Yesterday at a swap meet I picked up a new exhaust because straight pipes are way to loud and coil with plug wires. In the process of working on it the throttle sleeve broke so i went to iron pony and bought a new sleeve, had a front tire put on, and bought a battery for it. Once i get this thong running right I'll put a new rear tire on, but until then. Currently the problem we're facing is cylinder 3 isn't firing, the header coming out is cold. We checked the spark plugs and they're sparking fine, so we think the carb is running lean, a burnt valve, or there is still some dirt in the carb(my dad said it was the worst). Were also gonna do a compression check but ran outta time.
  11. Can't complain about free, I got a cb500 for free and its giving me a good time to get it ready.
  12. Although this app doesn't appeal to me much, it still pissed me off that I was dumb enough to get a windows 7 phone instead, it don't have near the apps Android and iPhone has. It doesn't even have copy and paste wtf. ..
  13. Darn I wanted that gsxr1000 to, oh well I'm sure you'll get something else in by the time I close on my house..
  14. I can't get the link since I'm on my phone someone YouTube Harley and its the one that says honest Harley commercial.
  15. Related to motorcycles? How about GOAT, ya know Ricky Carmichael
  16. Honestly once you get around 1000cc and up its more of how ballsy you feeling as opposed to how fast can I go. Buy what you think looks good and consider factors like maintenance and durability.
  17. Ya know I'm always on the site, but have never registered as a member.
  18. Dang to big for my cb500.
  19. I use the Sony sport headphones that wrap around and they're great. They stay on easy, loud, and very durable. They don't hurt me or interfer with sunglasses. I've tried several headphones and blow speakers on almost all of them BC I have hearing loss. These are the only ones that hold up to me, bit recently bought some skull candy headphones. Never had the jvc marsh mellows, gonn have to give them a try, how durable are they?
  20. geez, danballas finally out and about and doesn't even give me a what's up.
  21. amzing bike john, sad to see you finally selling. new owner will be delighted. glws
  22. I got the alert from gasbuddy and filled up last night. Its a nice app to have, but I didn't know they email people like that.
  23. If you think about it how many kids under 7 race dirt bikes? I understand dirt is more forgiving, but I see no problem with this. Hell I'll get critics yelling at me bit I've had an 11 year old on the back of my Kat doing 55.
