    Believe after your paid up to run, it's about a $175 investment total'ish. Full leathers, tether, and possibly some safety wiring? I don't have a rule book, so I'm not exactly sure of the bike tech criteria. We will be going Sunday - gates open at 8am-4pm - $10 a person to spectate
  2. Welcome from Piqua - have to hook up and ride sometime
  3. Probably a huge troll by Goodyear, but if she were to accept then it would surely get expensive with all the needed repairs to the vehicle, the facility, and the instructor after she hit everything in sight, spilled whiskey wine and beer, and rolled the car
  4. Congratulations to her -- and be careful with a woman THAT determined!!
  5. You've just had bad partners before me.......that is all:D
  6. You been drinkin' tonight bro?
  7. Thats killer! Would make winter teardown cleanings a lot easier
  8. No luck on the BMC, but here's a comparable replacement yet it's not cheap! http://www.oppracing.com/product_display/184463-lightech-air-filter/
  9. I don't blame him for wanting to step up from the 250, I say if he feels ready then so be it. I wouldn't want to ride a small bike for long myself. I started on dirtbikes at age 11, got hurt often, learned lessons, but none of which really applied to the street other than fundamental operation of a motorcycle. Dirt and asphalt, virtually zero comparison between them at a street riding level. My first streetbike was an '82 KZ550, which was a huge leap from the CR125 that I had prior to it and yeah, I wrecked it my first summer......so I fixed it and sold it off. Just wasnt ready for the change I guess and was man enough to acknowledge that fact, temporarily that is. Then after some years of shit/life I bought a YZF1000R, huge jump from a bike half that size years prior.....but it was never wrecked the years I rode it. All comes down to respect for the machine and the possibilities of what it can do to you. If he sells the 250R and buys a 600, good for him......it is quite a leap, but its also steps like these that teach each of us newfound respect for the bikes we ride, especially every time we'd upgrade our bores and strokes. Let him grow and learn like we've all done. Like he said ( and others here have said too ) there are dangerous elements no matter what we ride, be it a bicycle or a Busa
  10. Houston is just north of us, meet us at Honda Troy - we leave Troy at about 8am to meet the rest of western OhioRiders in Springfield by 845ish then roll on to Newark
  11. Shove a heated grip in it?

    For some reason this pic looks like
  13. Email him, he might have some stuff that's not listed
  14. No doubt, I feel the same way. And yes, you have about 20 seconds in the micro to decide between perfect.....and putrid
  15. No blood, no foul -- Welcome back man and GLWS
  16. ^^This. I actually prefer Turkey bacon, better flavor imo AND better for you
  17. I'd posted about a GSXR6 being parted, but figured I'd link up all the bikes this guy's company is parting out. Be a way to save some cash for those needing OEM, some new take-off's, some used. He's based in Canada, but ships from Michigan. I'd bought parts from him back in March and it took 2 days to get, and he's a reputable guy to deal with. http://402bike.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
  18. In case anyone needs some goods ( minus the frame ) for their ride - I frequent this site often and have purchased some parts in the past. Reputable seller for those interested or in need - he ships out of Michigan but is based in Canada http://402bike.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=27
  19. Free bike?!?! If it starts/runs, I'd take steps to acquire a title legally then go from there. If there's no way to title it, maybe turn it in to the police or transform it into a tracker since it's blatantly apparent the p.o. doesn't want it

    Meh, no more time/money it takes to wire it up, its probably not a bad idea to do anyway. I wouldnt worry about the calipers but doing the filter/drain/fillcap wouldnt hurt
  21. Wow man, you are gonna soil your skivies once you have a digital device and 1080HD!
  22. From what I'm finding its only an HD channel in my area, ch 1144 in western Ohio. So if you're not HD equipped it may not be available to you? Not sure about your area Scott
  23. No problem.....just hate for a fan to miss out!
