  1. My ZX14 ran 9.65 @ 154mph right after getting it's Brocks Performance system and tune. Of course that was strapped down to a 1/4 mile simulating dyno, in perfect conditions, and before I bought it LOL. The po had the timeslip framed on his garage wall. I've not ran it at the track myself, but I might eventually manage some passes someday. I'd much rather run the OhioMile, a lot less to worry about on the launch
  2. Me too. We usually parked ourselves on the first spectator mound around T6-T8, so we'd slowcook in the sun all day. So, this was a nice change of pace
  3. Had a good time raceday. Got to the track about 9am and up to our luxurious suite by 10:30am. It was a nice change of pace to have a/c, free food and full bar, anytime we wanted it. We could see the front straight from inside, but we hung out mostly on the balcony to see most all of the infield racing. Hopefully we'll score some freebies again the next 2 seasons, heard our boss signed another 2 year lease on the suite! Our view from the back
  4. I've left tickets at home before, but luckily home was less than an hour away from what I'd paid to see. Been there, laughed about it. Happens
  5. Wish I lived closer, else I'd shop there much more often
  6. Meant MotoAm, sorry. XRs were mentioned earlier so I had it in my head wrong
  7. XR1200 pits will likely end up where the Ebike pits were last year, just behind the paddocks. But that's just a guess
  8. No need for one anymore. $20 puts a raceday pass in willcall for Lot2...done deal
  9. SCORE. Wife and I will be there raceday afterall -- got friends in high places, so we'll be in Tower Terrace Suite 30
  10. Funny you mention that, I saw a Testerossa replica ( TransAm kit ) today in Troy. As soon as it passed by, heard the smallblock rumble LOL. Haven't seen one of those in almost 20 years.
  11. Uh, your the one digging up the past exhuming this 8 month old tapestry of shit You just enjoy self contradiction, dont you.And absolute irony incarnate is a pic of you wearing a shirt saying TRUTH whilest your company's named Denial? Oh, the hypocrisy
  12. Congrats on the upgrade. Sharp Viffer for it's age
  13. Glad the injury wasn't any worse that it is. I learned a couple hard lessons in my younger years, working manufacturing, in a hurry without any serious thought of safety. Age 22, severed through 80% of my right thumb tip on a horizontal skiver ( imagine a 10ft razor bladed bandsaw on it's side ), luckily was able to get it reattached, took a few years for it's nerve endings to become fully functional again. Age 28, slammed my right first finger between the auger and bore of a 6" extruder, boss had me in a rush so it was just a stupid mistake on my part. As soon as it pinched my finger inside, instinct told me to yank my hand back, which ultimately tore the pad out of my finger tip. Looked like a spoon the way it was scalloped away. Took a couple months to close up because all the doc could do was lace the finger sides towards one another, so I had to wear an antibiotic mesh overlay to coax new flesh to fill in the void. Still dont have all of the feeling in it, but now that it's flatter I can grip my guitar pick better than before
  14. Rt681. And yes, you definitely need to raise the camera. It took me a few tries to catch the StRt sign well enough to read it because your dash panel was in the way
  15. This was part of the deal maker for the wife and I to get a pair of 20S. Mike @ RD blessed my wallet on 'em too. Though, I've not had to plug mine in on long days yet, and down at the Gap we used them for over 10 hours without a battery life issue -- so to say the battery life isn't good, doesn't equate with our experiences Ours are still fairly new though, so maybe over time the battery performance may drop some?
  16. Glad to hear you finally got the hit Deals Gap, and that you were accident free with your filter seal failure. To post pics just upload them to an image hosting site, I use imgur ( http://imgur.com/ ) and once you've uploaded all the pics you simply copy the url of each photo and post them here between the image brackets. Easiest way I learned was to quote someone else's picture post just to see how it was linked
  17. You never know you need a damper until after you already needed one. Glad you and the bike survived relatively unharmed bro
  18. I bet, that wobble looked like a dislocated shoulder waiting to happen
  19. I clear the doorways and occasional home invaders, but other than that I'm pro arachnid. Mosquitos deserve genocidal eradication via homemade hairspray and Bic napalm. Those are some pointless little fuckers
  20. Wtf? The little guy's butt had shoes on, and his nipples were poking out of his shirt sleeves!
