  1. Pricey? How hard is it to rejet your carb on the Ducati? I guess I don't know the bike that well, but rejetting is usually pretty cheap, easy, and totally DIY. What 15-20 bucks for jets after shipping at most? Am I wrong?
  2. It is not so much that the person who opened the door that is potentially the attempted murderer, but they are the ones who caused the fallen motorcyclist to get off the ground and attempt to murder the driver. Joking. But, really I have no problem with attempted murder being charged for intentially opening a door to take down a motorcycle. Even if I didn't ride a bike I would think it would make sense.
  3. I cant find info. anywhere unless I am completely overlooking it. Anyone know what the throttle body casting numbers mean? More specifically, TBM-12 1068. I am looking for a single throttle body to put on my bike and I am using an XL/XB head. Just need to find a throttle body to fit. The one I listed above is on eBay, but the seller isn't sure what model it came off of.
  4. A couple... http://www.ridetowork.org/files/docs/LANE_SHARING_A_GLOBAL_SOLUTION_FOR_MOTORCYCLE_SAFETY.pdf http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP_RES/docs/Reports/2010/Motorcycle_Lane_Sharing.pdf?ga=t
  5. What he said ... And maybe use lane sharing instead of lane skipping. Oregon did a large amount of research on this, California has been doing this successfully for years, it is done successfully around the world. You are less likely to die... multiple reasons it should be passed.
  6. How about everyone, right now, pick up their cell phone and call their state rep, or email them. Tell them you want lane sharing. And if the State Rep wants to get in touch with the DOT, tell them not to waste their time. The DOT answer to the state rep I contacted sounded as if it came out of the movie idiocracy. There is enough research out there to support lane sharing in Ohio. If anyone is interested, I have some reading material/research in this regard. Just get up and contact them, or nothing will ever happen. Because they aren't reading this thread.
  7. Only problem with that is they could argue reckless driving, unfortunately...
  8. If we are ever going to get this law passed, people need to start calling state representatives. It is silly to have to sit, stopped in traffic, when you have full capabilities to safely get through traffic without affecting the flow.
  9. Seems kind of hard to find a trashed SuperTrapp that nobody needs or wants anymore.
  10. Well, I don't really need new, unless you have used?
  11. Looking for entire fuel injection system, ideally off another single cylinder machine or a Buell XB. Going from Carb to FI.
  12. Still looking, bumping thread... been a couple months.
  13. Hit Air Jacket Tour Master Over Pants Garne Boots AlpineStars or Held Gloves Bell Star Helmet
  14. It just seems a little played that they would allow certain cars to go multiple times before a another when every body supposedly paid the same amount. I think that is the part that bothers me most.
  15. I didn't go, but heard that it sucked. Friend reported that he had to wait 2-3 hours in between each run. He also said that they would let the muscle cars, dragsters, etc. go over and over again while he waited in line. He said half the day they could do anything beyond 1/8 mile because they sealed the track prior to racing, so the last part was still wet. Sounds like a money dump to me. I do not think I will go to the next one based on his experience.
  16. How many race runs do you usually get in one day?
  17. Ended up purchasing an 8 cell from rbbatteries.com. Batteries were too expensive at Brick and Mortar, so I thought if I'm going to pay that amount of money for a lead acid battery, I may as well get a lighter option.
  18. Race. No desire to watch . I'm still up in the air on going, bouncing back and forth on it. I have a few friends who are taking their cars...
  19. Wondering if anyone is planning on going to National Trails on Sunday? I am thinking about it. I've never been to one, didn't know what to expect.
  20. Any good places to buy a motorcycle battery in Columbus, Ohio after 8pm? Everything closes. Hard to find something.
  21. I got it. Now just have to figure out how to shorten it by 3/4" .
  22. I have the spring off, taken the gas chamber apart, drained all of the oil, but I am having a heck of a time getting the end shield off. Just was wanting to get some advice. They suggest you take a punch and try to pop it out, but my is just getting damaged and I don't really have any leverage anymore. I'll get a pic soon, but here is a similar shock, so you can see what I am talking about... there area where the punch is.
