  1. Tragic, for sure. Read a couple days ago that one of the riders' bike's had cut out on the sprint for turn 1 off the start, when that happened is when other riders collided and went cartwheeling off track. I can't find the link that tells that tale, but I just read where spectators said it had rained fairly hard just prior to the start -- so it could've been wheelspin that caused the crashes, not engine failure?
  2. Anyone going to Putnam Park August 22nd? Pretty sure the wife and I will be there. Be good to see some other OR peeps
  3. Nobody sportin' the 1 piece leather bibs? Look like pricey bike builds, but seems a cheaper alternative to concrete drag racing. Be an easier cleanup for oil/fuel spills on the track, just kick some dirt on it
  4. Looked like a fun adventure together. I expected to see you hatefully biting the heads off of those prairie dogs instead of feeding them, but it seems your wife failed to photograph the genocidal rage
  5. One nice retro you got there. What sort of trades are you entertaining?
  6. Welcome. Definitely head to SE Ohio for some good riding.
  7. Not the gen 1 zx14's. Haven't researched the Gen 2 or 3 to know about the 1441cc version's valve timing. That may be where some of the deration comes into play on the C14 as well with the different valvetrain, and it's likely that only the block/cyl's are the same but the trans and top ends vary between the bikes?? Mine at stock gearing, and at 80mph/6th, the tach is about 4k - but that wouldn't equate to the Connie's final drive ratio since it's surely different due to the shaft drive.
  8. Exactly. I upload to an image hosting site and just link it in anymore. Props on the new ride Brian -- get them pics up
  9. Yup. Same powerplant as well, only the C14 is derated and shaft driven so the primary is different. Believe the fuel tanks are possibly the same too? Not sure whether they share the same forks though.
  10. No, I'm not selling mine....this is for a friend. Well loved, babied, virtually mint condition 2008 ZX14 with an ULTRA low 5929 miles. Bike is in Middletown Ohio. Sapphire blue and basically stock except for stainless Muzzy slipons, smoked windscreen, fender eliminator kit, new tires, and wired for Battery Tender. Clean and clear title. $7200 OBO PM me or post up and I'll shoot potential buyers his cel.

    Sorry to hear about the dump, lowcel. Glad you weren't too torn up. Looked like your lap was going well though

    Help me decide.

    There's a nice, lightly used Tundra at Airport Toyota right now that I've been eyeporking online. 2013 Crewmax TRD pkg with 17k miles
  13. DUDE, that should sweeten the deal for anyone looking. Now it's definitely got to be sold soon
  14. Think I saw a turbo'd 250X for sale on SMJ. Likely would ruin reliability, wouldn't it?
  15. Although there are some savvy folk on OR, I'd research here too bro... http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/'>http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/ http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/forums/1996-2004-sn95-mustang-general-talk.52/'>http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/forums/1996-2004-sn95-mustang-general-talk.52/ http://themustangsource.com/forums/f693/'>http://themustangsource.com/forums/f693/

    I'm buying another Tundra. Never even considered the Titan, and haven't sought out comparative info on 'em. But there are far fewer Titans on the road around here than anything else, so there may be some truth to consumer report's reports?
  17. Nice. Crafty work, and a much more satisfying mod when you fab your own equip.
  18. That's a good, long, haul. Looked like a great ride with some good guys
  19. Welcome back to the forum, as well as back to sportbikes. What made you leave the HD scene?
  20. Definitely. Lets make this the new random thoughts thread
  21. Family plans this weekend bro, or we'd be in. Speed safely, out where the drunken cagers cant find you
