The way it sits, $1500-$2k is really a fair price.

This is a fair price for that bike. I have a TLR that has the fairings with only a few things yours doesn't, but with several things better than the one you're trying to sell. Such as my Ohlins rear shock, and 04 600 GSXR Front end with GP suspension cartridges in them. I could only fetch maybe $3500 for it if I wanted to sell it. You're missing $500-$1000 worth of plastics depending on what you want to get (OEM vs ABS china crap), and the rebuilt title. Sounds sketchy to me. I believe $1500 is really worth it with how it sits. Peoples time is very expensive. I.E. I don't want to have to spend the time searching and purchasing the parts for the bike that it doesn't have. I hate to be harsh, but $1500 is really what it's worth right now. Just because someone has a lot of time into something, doesn't really make it worth more.

Any video is a good video if it has big tittied Asian bitches in it!

I wasn't lookin at her face. HA!

Damn, I was hoping for a bit closer than 80 miles of slabin it south. I may go depending on how I feel. PM me your number and I'll give you a text to let ya know. I do; however, need to be back early afternoon.

I'm in. I need to get out on the bike a bit more and meet a few other peeps who ride. Where abouts are you thinking of starting?

Damn you. I have work. Anyone riding this weekend?

I'm too lazy. Would rather ride than walk/run. Ha! That and I'm busy.

I'd be up for a ride next weekend. Gonne be relaxin with friends and the pup tomorrows. What sort of route were you thinkin?

I'm on the west side, a stone's throw from 480 & State Rd if that helps. What part of town are you on?

East side close to where 271 and 90 meet up. If your up for a ride or ever need help with the bike, let me know... Def. be able to help.

Thanks everyone! I hope to make new friends and find people to ride with so that I can learn & grow as a rider.

What side of Cleveland are you on? I just moved here recently and need some peps here in town to ride with/meet.

OH-258 is one of my favorites.

If I lived closer I'd be on it quite a bit. Once you get to know the road, those off camber cresting switch backs could be a lot of fun. Especially on the 2nd or third run to find all the crap on the road.

It reminded me a bit of HWY 227 just north of Lexington, KY. Only towards the end of that road, it started opening up into fantastic sweepers that you could see through.

So I made it south of the Canton area today (I hate the ride down there... 70 miles of slabin it blows!).

I ended up taking exit 93 of I-77 to go east on 212. Compared to anything in the Cleveland area, it wasn't too bad. Except for something goin on in Zora. After getting through there it was pretty good. several places to pass slower vehicles and the road was clear. I took 212 all the way to Bowerston where I turned onto 164. Pretty much the same all the way till I got to Scio. At Scio, I turned south onto 646. Several sweepers all the way to Tappan Lake; however, just before I got there I got stuck behind a huge group of Harley's goin 10-15 under. WTF?

I turned right on 250 and took that all the way to Ulrichsville. Grabed gas, for the second time, and reviewing the map I decided to head south on 800.

800 is a good road but nothing compared to the road I turned on. I ended up taking 258 west all the way to Newcornerstown. Holy cow... 258 is not a beginners road. I'm glad I was taking it semi easy cause a lot of those turns catch out off guard. If it wasn't for all the horse crap and rocks on the road, it would be okay. I ended up pushing the front a few times on some gravel, have the brown pants to prove it, but it was a pretty good road. If I didn't have to slab it so far, I'd ride it a lot more so I knew where the blind cresting corners where headed. Those things are bitch, but I love it!

After getting to Newcornerstown, I headed back North on I-77. Stopped for a bite to eat at a DQ after getting gas and then slabbed it back to Cle-vegas.

Overall, a great ride between the damn slabs to and from the area.

As for the bike, the Tiller handled quite well. Changing over to Ohlins valves and a racetech spring really helped the front and the Ohlins rear shock kept her stable the entire time. I previously never had an issue with the Metzler Sport Techs M3's, but after pushing the front a few times over what I just gather was some gravel (never saw it) I lost a bit of confidence in 'em. Could possibly be due to the differnt bike I have them on.

We get one casino and out of towners think it's Vegas

I personally can't stand Casino's. My luck just aint that good.

its probably because you keep calling it this

You know you love it! HA!

Thanks for all the responses. I'll just carry it with me wallet to be sure.

So I'm new to the state of OH and I'm not sure if I need to carry the motorcycle registration. I know in KY, you do not need to carry it (your license plate stickers are just fine). In Washington State you DO need to carry your registration with you when you're on your bike. So here in OH, which is it? Would like to know, so if I don't carry it, I wont be in doo doo with the LEO if I get pulled over.

Sell it and get the TLR! ;-)

In all honesty, I'd say keep it and just work on the suspension. As I'm sure you'll know, better suspension = better bike (almost like new with the TL). After putting the Ohlins rear shock and the Ohlins valve kit (rebound and compression) with the Racetech springs... it's a whole new bike. You can get both shock and valve kit still. PM me and I'll send you to the site to buy them new. If you've already done the whole suspension thing, then I'm not sure what to tell ya. Probably keep it, save up the $2K you'll prob get for it and then look for something newer that you'll want. Ducati, Aprillia, KTM... ya know... the good 'uns!

I'm noticing more and more the Cle-vegas area is horrible for a sport bike to have any fun without going to jail speeds. I'm not into that anyways... too many obsticles on the public roads.

There are a few ways to check it, but you'll need to have the forks off your bike to do so.

Did I hear Ben say they had a swingarm linkage failure that caused his crash?

Yup, swingarm failure. If you watch it in slow mo on the motogp feed you can see the swingarm fail just as the bike gets to full compression. Talk about horrible luck.

I'm not sure Audi can commit to Ducati's promises to Rossi. They came in too late in the game (in my opinion).

As for Spies, he can't buy luck at the moment. I haven't seen if he's gonna announce before Indy or not. Would love to see him stay in GP's but there just isn't a ride for him anywhere. And he'd be an idiot to head to Ducati with how that bike is right now. Can't wait to hear what he's doin for next year... along with Hopper.

What can I say... I like beer. HA! I know I'm not the best there is, but if I can help a fellow out then I will. Especially with today's crap economy.

What kind of work do you do? I may need some help with my project bike this winter.

If it's a 2006 R6' date=' it has 41mm forks. If it's a 2006 R6S, it has 43mm forks. Well, according to RaceTech, anyway. If you guys get together on this, and you need a driver kit for 41mm, let me know. I'll ship it to you to use.[/quote']

I'll probably need a 41mm driver anyways for my 750 project I got goin. If anything, they're not too expensive and I'll just order that and the bleeder tool (cartidge shaft is a pain to grab if you drop it while bleeding the fork. HA!).

Thanks for the offer though! Much appreciated.

was a very eventful ride..... lost two, one went to get a trunk to pick up the pieces. As far as I know the riders were basically ok. Although I didn't see the first one, too many crashes this year.

I was too far down in the twisty stuff to stop, I ended up doing this. Just got back about a half hour ago. Stopped for some Subway on the way in. ;-)

Looks like a fun ride. Hope everyone was okay. Now that my bike is here in Cle-vegas and set up properly I need to find some twisties. Moving here (Clevland) has been mind numbing... so many straight roads... ARRRRGGGG!!!!

What bike do you have, or what diameter are your fork bottoms? I'm in cleveland (east side) so if you ride your bike here and bring the seals and a case of beer (good stuff... like Guinness, Pilsner Urequell) I can do it for ya and show you how to do it. Heck, get yourself some new springs and a valve kit and I'll show you how to do that too. It'll just take a bit more time.

Things you need:

Fork Seals

Fork Oil

copper washer for the bottom of your forks (good to replace but don't necessarily need to)

carb cleaner (this is to clean the insides of your fork. Most dealers don't do this. They just let the old oil drain out and put the new ones in.)

Case of Beer for a jolly good time.

I have the rest of the tools needed depending on the diameter of your fork bottom. I think my seal driver is 43mm.

I can do Sunday. I'm out shootin on Saturday so that's a no go. If anyone goes on Sunday, I'd be up for meeting some people in the area (I'm new) who also ride.
