  1. Let me know when you plan on doing that tonik, I may have to tag along.
  2. All the parts I ordered for the bandit will be here tomorrow and it's gonna rain the next 4 or 5 days so I won't lose any riding time slapping it all together!
  3. I'm gonna have to go see that one day.
  4. Take your ass to the hardware store and buy a cheap micrometer and you can measure thickness to see if it's within limits. If you feel pulsation while braking chances are it's a bit warped. If it's severely warped you will have zero initial bite on light to moderate braking, as the warped portions of the rotor push the brake pistons back into the caliper and that new slack must be taken out before they can act on the rotor. Take it to any shop and ask them to put an indicator on your rotors and check for warp. Make sure they show you.
  5. Gorgeous bike and that cross plane mill sounds amazing through those dual fmf pipes. I'd buy this but I'd have to find a new place to live and a new fiance. Glws jay.
  6. I've used Boston lager for brats before...huge difference vs domestic light beer. Trick my chef buddy taught me: After you pull the brats from the beer to (hopefully) brown on the grill, reduce the beer down to the consistency of warm maple syrup, then pour into the peppers and onions that you've (hopefully) been cooking in butter and reduce further. You get all the greasy goodness that escaped the brats plus a nice rich malt flavor plus butter (!) Plus the onion and pepper flavors. For the added touch, buy bakery rolls you have to split yourself, butter with real mayo and toast on the grill. You'll get a nice crisp toast on them that will handle the juices from the meat and toppings. This is the best sausage sandwich I've ever had, but it will put you in an early grave.
  7. Get new boots this season? When I went from a relatively short profile riding boot to these big chunky icon field armor boots I had to adjust my shift lever to accommodate or I'd miss shifts all the time. Just another idea.
  8. If you want to know if your clutch slips, put the front tire against a building, put it in 5th and then give it gas while letting the clutch out. It will either slip or stall.
  9. Dude, get on indeed.com and post a resume. There are tons of jobs out there. I get offers almost daily.
  10. I forgot to drink tequila or margaritas. ..I did have some Dos equis.
  11. Wow man. Great work, keep us posted.
  12. Now you of all people should be ashamed of yourself.
  13. Cinco de Mayo has come and gone and as far as I can tell, nobody made an ass of themselves on here for our entertainment. I'm not mad at you, I'm just disappointed.
  14. Idk...pretty good argument here for unreasonable search and seisure....akin to cops randomly stopping people and asking for papers.
  15. I'm unsure of the legality of him just running plates without reasonable suspicion. Seems like it's not warranted but idk...
  16. You can plug it yourself. Kits are $10 at autozone, plenty of youtube videos on how to do it but plugs can come out. East fix is to buy a new tire, Google 'motorcycle shops cleveland' and take it there. If you pull the wheel off and bring it to them it's usually around $25-35 to change tire and balance.
  17. Proof that cyclists are horrible people.
  18. Lol they didn't know you could get more than 65 hp out of a liter engine? There's a dyno party at a biker bar in Doylestown this june, gonna dyno the bandit and hopefully the superhonda 850 project bike. Gonna be some dropped jaws...
  19. You'd have to check the kat forums and see which style valve train you have (screw and nut tappets vs shim over bucket vs dual lobe/single lobe) and see what is available. It really is a simple job. Remove tank and coils, take off valve cover, remove timing cover, rotate motor to timing mark, mark cam chain and sprocket with a paint marker, remove tensioner, remove cams and swap sprockets, time and volt in. Can do it in the frame too.
  20. Telling you man, gsxr cams. Takes an hour to swap, really wakes the bike up.
  21. It's not about accountability, its about leverage.
  22. The kat is a capable bike. It gets a bad rep cuz it's a compromise for a gsxr but it's still a solid platform.. very good street bike.
  23. Arguing with magdor is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon will knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around victoriously. Pretty sure I posted that already
  24. Non issue now. He found someone to buy the bike for $200 more than he paid. Dude must be restoring one and needs a parts bike. This was going to be a precursor to a call to arms for ORDN members to apply social media pressure on roush to get the employee to refund him for the lemon bike. I like to think that we have a pretty strong community here that will take action against injustice. I know for a fact some members rallied to my cause a few years ago when I was fucked over by a waterproofing company. Yeah, we put him out of business.
