  1. And don't hesitate to share those pain meds....we wouldn't want you to develop a habit.
  2. Handling can be sorted out with suspension tweaks and tires. How did you like the motor, ergonomics and general feel of the bike/stiffness of the frame? I've heard the 650 twin is an excellent mill for its size and that these bikes can be set up to be a very capable carving knife.
  3. Ouch. I'll volunteer my services on your rebuild if you can get it down here. Guessing front fairing stay, plastics, headlight, pegs and either shifter or brake pedal, maybe subframe and other misc pieces. Get your parts and come down, I'll help you make her whole again.
  4. Pocket the insurance loot and street fighter it.
  5. Saw this on facebook, glad no serious injuries to either rider. Too bad about Derek ' s zx10....she was a pretty bitch.
  6. Lolz... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Report
  7. Yep. Bench race the battery, get stator output checked, unplug aftermarket goodies and see if it persists. Swap ecu with someone if you can.
  8. Yesterday I had an awesome steak dinner with parents and my fiance, came home and drank a beer, went to bed and got a blowie. Best day I've had in a while.
  9. Rode into work. Rode out to lunch. Riding home, then maybe a short jaunt to the boonies and back.
  10. I just swap em for 4mm cap screws, even with a JIS driver the screws are still made out of velveeta, and will strip if they are locked up in there good.
  11. I'm a descendent of irish 'indentured servants'....basically slaves, and post ww1 german immigrants. ...not exactly a popular group at the time. As far back as I can trace it, my family has been farmers and blue collar workers. I work for a company in which nearly every black person or woman that has been up against a white male for a promotion gets it, regardless of how under qualified they are and they retain that position regardless of how incompetent they are. Tell me again about my privileged life.
  12. So he just tosses them instead of getting store credit? Is dude rich or dumb?

  14. Why does the neighbor like to leave stuff there?
  15. My father was an overweight black gay woman in a wheelchair you fucking biggot.
  16. Well said pops. I truly care about my customers because I have a passion for motorcycles. I see it as this: I get to make a little money on the side while returning someone's baby to its former glory. I pride myself on my work and I'll put in extra hours over my quote for free until someone is happy. It's worked well for me so far as 90% of my work comes from either referrals or repeat customers. I'm sorry for offending the guys that paid for factory tech training, in many cases the labor charge is warranted for things like desmo valve service and tranny rebuilds, high skill jobs. But to charge the same rate for oil and plug changes and other lower skill work seems a bit wrong to me. I can see how someone with the accreditation could see me as a hack; I wouldn't want someone not certified by the FAA doing my job. /butthurt off
  17. So are we gonna make this happen or what? Won't be straight for long...If college fraternities and the track day crew around here is any indication, you put enough straight white dudes together, eventually someone's gonna touch a penis.
  18. I don't think I can keep up with poppa and Derek ' s 'quick' pace safely. .
  19. Yes I'm aware of that...but hardly anyone knows that JIS is even a thing, let alone where to get them. They see a cruciform on a screw and reach for a philips. 20 seconds later they're fucked.
