  1. Fin is running a good deal on a sig sauer compact 1911. Ultra compact gun sig holster extra mag bulldog range bag two boxes speer lawman ammo and a free sig model 1911 22lr for $1200. Yes you get the 22 lr free.

    I wish fin was closer to me

  2. According to some guy on the WERA board, I'm a moron for thinking the Grom won't beat an XR hands-down.

    I suppose on a much bigger track, the Grom's top-speed advantage could render it significantly quicker, but what else am I missing? I'm not trying to grom-bash. There's a reason Jeff keeps taking Russ's for joy-rides even though he has an XR of his own, but people seem to assume they are a ton faster than the XR, when that hasn't proven to be the case (yet?).

    I have experience on both, and they're both slow as hell.

    I do feel like the xr has better aftermarket support since its had a stronghold in racing since the dawn of time, and the grom is a newer model.

    I believe the grom is quite a bit heavier, which would offset the slight hp advantage.

    I think since the xr's chassis is longer, it's a bit more comfortable to work with. Which is an advantage in the xr's favor in my mind.

    Not to say both aren't a blast. I have a grom because its a street legal pit bike, I mean... What else do I need to say? lol. I just rode to work 20 some miles on it yesterday and laughed the whole time.

  3. i was the only Grom racing.

    I'm hoping more show to have a Grom only class, but for now ill run F3 with it

    safety wire all the bolts that need to be, take headlight off, taillight off, i added a number plate to the front.

    I'm up to race mine. I'll need to prep first. I figure it'd get motor'd by the xr's... But if there were a few other groms, we could duke it out.

  4. Hooligan motor. Budget suspension.

    Great value.

    That sums it up perfectly.

    About the best bang for buck in the new bike category.

    Coming from a zrx, you'd thoroughly enjoy it.

  5. I'd put it toward a BMW S1000RR. I love my 2013 ZX6R (great size and weight), but BMW makes a phenomenal bike.

    Meh, it's ok. There's a few disappointments. You can tell where they cut corners to keep within Japanese price range.

    But not for ten grand. I guess you might find a lbts used one for that...

    I'd let mine go for 11k if someone flashed cash. I want a 1290 SDR.

    I'm beginning to dislike clipons.

  6. Seriously? Please tell me both have their own fuse...

    I want to rent one for a day. Sign all the paperwork, then get my (scuffed to shit) leathers out of the car and put them on while it's warming up on the lot.

    Maybe try to record the rental staff's reactions.

    There's no switch to disable it, I'm not sure if there's something as simple as pulling a fuse on those or not. Basically, they're really lame and will not let you have fun. They're also impossible to wheelie. Won't happen.

    I wanted to do the same thing you mention, except with scooters and do it at the gap. I'd sign the extra insurance policy, then pull my leathers out.

  7. That thing looks fun! What's the engine size?

    It's a 125cc 4 speed clutch

    if you have any questions on it just ask, i have been through mine a bit, and have it set up pretty well for the track.

    I have an f2 bike, was considering making this legal if they have a grom class and it's big enough. I'd like to see how yours is setup.

  8. i was disappointed in the Grom, well i guess more myself. 1:01 lap times, was not even close to what i thought i was going to be running. especially when last year i was running 58s on the NSR. seeing how big the grid is in Stock XR makes me wanna ditch racing the grom and get back on an XR for the season.

    I just bought a grom, how big was the turn out for groms?

    Was there very much prep that went into the bike to make race legal?

    Fuck yeah!

    Sorry for the dirty words, but this thing has me excited.

    It's a street legal OMRL mini moto. What's better than that?

    I don't think I could get to the store quicker, I feel like I never have to leave WOT.

    I reached 59mph this weekend. I'm happy with that. Can't wait to hit the gap on this thing.

  10. Somebody on a 2 up, maroon Goldwing or Concours blew past and dusted us - it was humbling.

    My apologies. Hopefully I chose a place to pass where I didn't scare you.

    It's a BMW k1200LT.

    I'm not opposed to leading groups down there, I know a couple roads in that area. You're more than welcome to hit me up and check out some other roads.
