  1. I had PR4 on my zx14 when stabbing down and riding in seo from Michigan. Absolutely loved it, had the suspension set up just perfect for me with stock set up itself. Bike had motherload of tourqe and heavy as well, still the profile held, great grip, no flattening.
  2. What your going through tonight is what I go through every night
  3. Hehehe i will shut up and hide in the corner, pardon this phase on hyperactivity in OR, posting in all threads with no good addition to the discussion. And it worsens as the days away from last ride keeps climbing up and days of continuous work counts up but in all honesty, Joe u post up a day time place they will show up. Of course afterwards they will make fun of the location, critic the food and act like they could have done better. But in all honesty every one will have had a good time and will remember it and will do it again.
  4. to be honest, what people find more irritating in this scenario has nothing to do with hazing or being the usual OR asshats. But the whole scenario just doesnt add up to make any glimmer of common sense. No car/no transport/but wants bike/ summer about to end etc etc To use your own simile "ship wrecked and stuck in an island with canoes boats ships all around but waiting for a jet ski"
  5. and so we begin #pORcarstination #analysis paralysis #U-got-17paged
  6. absolutely what i was gonna say / any tire from the recent years are good enough for the right deal as long as they are not shinko i really wish to see 17 pages of discussion and still no tires bought that will be epic
  7. I be there on four wheels
  8. And also what engine oil you gonna use ?
  9. +1 i just got these for the striple, good deal with 170 to your door for a set / only few left so hurry rocky mountain stock pile is in Kentucky i think and some how always have stuff from them to neo in one day. But these tires are old stock come from west coast and takes time, but u will have by monday tuesday seems to be made in 2014 old stock / but in good condition now these are sticky/ i use to run them in vfr and literally u have a feel of velcro in some corners, they literally shred, tire life is little less, but this will be great for track days as well as it warms up fast, for road use they are good since offer good wet grip. (evos are supposed to be better than old s20 with longer lasting middle) But all in all for 170 bucks for the set / i would buy again and again.
  10. Great, in that case I will come for the bike thursday, cash in hand PS: Dennis this is just a joke in line with usual no useful content addition OR style
  11. very very nice, ty for buying tonic. i really didnt have space in my garage august 21 OR track day just got more interesting, now to put the squeeze on @Al Z. Heimer to show up and we have a great day to look forward to. I just need to get an off day confirmed
  12. Please invite tonik to be the third wheel on two wheels
  13. It is a lighter bike on hind sight, but at that time I was coming from a Vfr 800 to this one, and the bags were loaded to brim plus some. I still haven't loaded up the fjr like that yet. Honestly RT was more relaxed and fun to ride, closer to touring, I would choose it again to tour. And the fjr is more mean and exciting closer to sports bike and would choose this when solo touring through back roads. Kinda vague description, I know. Just trying to explain the heart and soul of motorcycling is difficult.
  14. choice is ours at one of the above place

    Nailed it

    Full face helmet vs face plant .... Nah ride free, yeeeaaaaaa brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrrrrrrrrbrbrbrbrbbrrrrrrrr
  16. Me and wife rented a 1200 RT and rode for around 9- 10 days in west coast. All loaded up with big top case and panniers, bike felt very heavy, struggled the first two days. And by fourth fifth day we were passing avg sports bike in twisties two up. The bike boxer and its low CG was helping a lot to make it feel well planted and enjoyable. She had a great time, and I was really enjoying myself. It was not exciting but a real easy fun bike to chew up miles. Video we made years ago.
  17. Save the money at stealership and and go to a massage parlor, that's a better deal at personal care
  18. If you can't find it, this will be good enough to get you going. Iirc the rider was same weight in that issue, http://www.sportrider.com/tech/suggested-sport-bike-motorcycle-suspension-settings
  19. Trust the insomnia OCD driven motorcycle connoisseur now dig that manual out
  20. freaking luck, we should have just traded a month ago lol i say go for VFr over sprint but i am biased to V4. The vf12 with Dam has to be heard in person to appreciate its note. Not as fun as twin aftermarket vf800, but still a good note.
  21. thats some good news, i really hope he pulls through this. The reactions the family noted hopefully is not just hand squeezing etc, hopefully it involves significant limb and body movement which is a good starting sign. Possible the down time was not as bad as they feared initially and his wife starting CPR was a big blessing. As tonic said when hypothermia was mentioned i was loosing hope, but now i kind of have a feeling this guy is gonna get back to us, we just have to wait. When we were riding together roughly couple of weeks ago, I would be pulling ahead and waiting for him at the next intersection. And i told him " i like riding with you because i know you are enjoying your ride at your pace and not trying to keep up and i have zero worries and absolutely sure you are going to show up at the next intersection no matter the wait time" . I guess he is gonna do it again. We just have to wait and he will show up. This is kind of hitting me hard because at that time we got to talk a lot and ended up discussing some deep stuff , and as if getting jinxed we were discussing about heart attack, stents, bypass surgery, getting old, life support every thing, what he prefers whats right thing to do etc Now looking back it I wish we didnt talk about those.
  22. U are roughly around 180 right? If you are around 180lb ur lucky, u good on springs for Daytona Ohlins start with set up on manual itself if your weight is close to 180, u be good for starters IIRC Daytona lucky pound number is 180 unlike jappy which is much lower
  23. Ride it down, will be the best and most memorable 2 days you will have on 2 wheels. Get the helmet it's worth it. shipping bike has lot of positives and negatives, for such short trip to a great destination , the benefits and fun of riding always outweighs. Trust the collective knowledge here, this is rare times they are not sarcastic. Go for it, ride it. Have your friend or family follow you in a car/uhaul to have the extra safety net.
