  1. Jap bikes had issues with this.....about 40 years ago.

  3. Welcome, what part of neo are you from?
  4. Well you're not gonna change my mind and I'm not gonna change yours. I'll do shit my way and you can do shit your way.
  5. Suit yourself and have fun taking your header off every time you need to life thr bike (unless you have stands). In my experience, especially on older bikes, you run into more problems trying to remove corroded header bolts. Snap one off once and see if you would have rather lifted the bike by the pipes.
  6. These ducati guys..... I'm 35. My entire career since 18 has been in manufacturing. Before that I took a 2 year course in high school on manufacturing technology, in which I was top of my class both years. After that I entered a 4 year apprenticeship program for tool and die making. I've taken 3 college level metallurgy courses and 2 college level equivalent structural engineering courses. At the company I work for I've worked with every industrial material imaginable including magnesium, carbon fiber and yes, titanium. In the past 17 years I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the strength and abilities of common industrial materials. I'm not just a shade tree mechanic. Pound for pound steel is 5% stronger than titanium, but titanium is 45% lighter than steel, so you can have an exhaust that's just as strong for 40% of the weight...but most ti systems have a .040 wall thickness which is comparable to stock steel systems, so they would be just as strong as the stock steel pipes.
  7. Anyone wanna meet up and put some miles on Saturday around noon? I haven't taken my bike out for purely recreational purposes in way too long and I thought today would be a good day for it. Text 330-338-9708 if interested in meeting around the canton - massillon area.
  8. Or not. Nobody wants to go....probably have to stay home and wash their vaginas out. Maybe sat noonish?
  9. No tag on the honda yet, and it needs a back tire so I'll be flogging the bandit. We're headed south josh, thinking 62 down to Millersburg, stop for *1* beer at the brewery and then back up 241.
  10. Buncha slack jawed faggots in here... It's cool brian and josh. Nick I'll be waiting.
  11. Anyone wanna meet up and put some miles on this afternoon after 4? I haven't taken my bike out for purely recreational purposes in way too long and I thought today would be a good day for it. Text 330-338-9708 if interested in meeting around the canton - massillon area.
  12. I think you'll fit in. It's by far the least moderated forum I've ever seen, and as a result is full of fucktards and miscreants, myself included. We can sometimes be hard on the newbs but that's mainly to weed out the people who can't handle some good natured ribbing and occasional blatant disrespect. Don't let that fool you tho, there are some really good dudes on this forum, I've met and rode with quite a few and most people on here will help you out however they can.
  13. At least nobody is railing on about the virtues of wd40 as a chain lube yet...
  14. That's because you're sort of a prick! (:
  15. Idk, never bought a tire from a shop.
  16. Why not start a tire plugging service that offers to pay all damages to the bike and any hospital charged incurred from a wreck caused by a plug coming out?
  17. Miss America parade wave for the win.
  18. Guess I'll have to stir up some shit elsewhere till Al decides to drop another vid.
  19. My cousin had one come out on the freeway. It does happen. I know, your next response is 'well then it wasn't installed correctly'....look: if the only indicator of it being I stalled incorrectly is it coming out, I'm gonna skip that shit and pony up for a new tire, which has zero chance of a plug coming out of it.
  20. Bastards....I need time wasters for work!
  21. A guy in front of me whacked a gull once at about 70 on an ultra classic something or other. Looked like someone shot a feather pillow with a 12 gauge. He had a 4 piece dinner stuck in his lower fairing vents.
  22. That's why I ask people to drop their shit off. Like I said, I've lifted plenty of bikes by the header and have never ever had as much as a dent. If one day I do, well I guess I'll be replacing someone's header but unless they're rusted to shit, there's just not enough psi there to do any damage.
