Hey all, I need to take apart my front end on my 2002 Triumph Speed Triple to service the forks. What's the best way to raising up the front to get the forks off? I don't have a front stand, nor the money to get one. Thanks all!

So that was your bike! I remember seeing a white 300 there for awhile...too cool.

Yeah I saw that, pretty cool. If I do go out for a ride I may have to take it easy, my front forks need some serious TLC.

Cool bro, thanks for the offer.

Started doing video work for him last November and now I'm doing a secret project for him now. It just happened that he needed a second hand to help with the tuning and such. Originally I was just there to film things. He's a really cool guy with a wealth of information. If I ever want to upgrade, tune or tweak a bike I will go to him.

I've been thinking on putting a set of gold valves on my Triumph, the front is just so soft.

Lol...that was funny. Seems like some good roads out there!

You guys are hilarious, bummer there's nothing close. Bubba, I may have to hit you up in the future. I'm sure there are good roads down south near the river.

I helped a little bit on the development on that Veloce system. Brock and I on Friday were working on a few new systems and tunes for the Kawasaki H2. That Veloce system sounds awesome for the little 300.

I would have to agree with Bad324...I'd recommend holding off on this CBRcharles. Get some good experience in at your own pace rather than pushing yours if you are with us. There will be more than enough rides throughout the year, so no worries. Like the others I don't want to sound mean, but we've all been in your position at one time. Try starting out in some smaller couple person group rides and build up from there. Also focus on basic riding skills and as time goes on slowly increase riding level. ***Back on topic, I hope I can make it on this trip, work is kind of sketchy schedule wise.

So I live just north of Dayton and I am trying to find some good roads or twisties to practice on. Do any of you know of some good routes to take around here that I can play on? I don't mind traveling a bit to get to them. Thanks, JB

It was my pleasure, if I need service work or anything else for that matter I'll go to you guys. The fact you all work on such a variety of bikes and your servicing capabilities are so vast is just amazing. I really hope you guys can get a bigger place with storefront, you really need it.

From the photos it looks to be in good condition, but we'll see more when I come by later.

@3.504 Let's talk please...I'm actually starting to get interested in that Aprilia after we talked Monday. I'd hate to sell my Triumph, but I'm ready to make the jump to something else. Plus I know (like you said) it's been well taken care of.

Oh ok...sorry Crusher

I'm needing a tiny bit of repair work myself. I'll give you Apex guys a call this morning and came by just to visit and see what you guys do. Plus it's gonna be too nice today not to ride.

Damn...I can't go...I'll be in Peru as a cameraman for a BMW motorcycle charity expedition.

Where are you from? I was planning on going for a bit of a ride...I work at 5pm though. I'm from the Dayton area...

Oh cool, if I can manage to get this ride on my schedule I'm so for going on this. I will be riding from Tipp City so Springfield will be an easy meeting place for me.

Just took mine up and down my street a few times to warm the chain up. I think my fuel is separating out, so I'll need to burn that out soon.

So far most of Miami county is ok other than some smaller ones, none too big to worry about.

Having never ridden in real twisties but only the dead straight roads of Georgia I feel as though I should be in the slow group for now. My schedule is kind of hectic at the moment and I can't 100% confirm I am going.

I may be there...

Hmm, I may make the trip there on my triumph one of these days since my grandparents live in the area. I may eventually see about trading it in for something else...we'll see.

I can deal with 50 no problem, but 40's for long rides...hell no
