    SQUIRREL!!!!!

    Glad to know I'm not the only 1 that has used motocross techniques on the street. My event was a set of nasty bumps however not an animal.
  5. Got the suit today. Fit good and looks good, just as described. Thanks. I would say if anybody else is looking at anything you posted they can buy with confidence. Now just to save up for a track day and get enough guts to go for it. Thanks for getting me 1 step closer.
  6. I ended up ordering a pair of the jeans, and got some deals on a rain suit, and chest protector as well for riding the quad. Jeans are a bit snug even going up a size. They will work though and I typically shed some lbs in the summer as well so that will help too.
  7. I enjoy Craigslist as well, bought and sold my fair share of items on there. The bike I currently came from there via a trade for a Raptor quad. I have had my dealings with douche bags, but I also have run into some decent honest people as well. You can usually tell what you're dealing with, but I have been fooled a time or 2. All in all I've had good luck with it.
  8. That sucks. I have dealt with guys like that on Craigslist multiple times and it sucks. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
  9. Cool. Hope it all works out for you. Good luck with it.
  10. As long as it's up and not open I might just do that. Thanks for the invite.
  11. If you end up flipping it. What kind of money would you expect from a 1982 magna? Just asking because I know guys have asked me in the past what an older bike is worth and I have no clue. I don't know that market like I do sportbikes.
  12. As a school teacher it definitely was eye opening. The training confirmed some of my original thoughts about how to handle a situation and it gave me some additional strategies as well. I teach at a high school and our instructor was hesitant to suggest having students put their lives at risk to stop an attacker. I think it is hard for anybody to say if they would put their life at risk in a situation like that. I don't think you can say how you will react in any situation until you're in it. Then to force/encourage a student to risk his or life is difficult for me.
  13. Thanks for the responses. I'm going to get a pair since I currently just wear jeans. I figure they have to be better protection than that.
  14. I found it funny. Not sure what it says about me.
  15. Primarily looking at a pair of riding jeans. Has anybody bought a pair of them? Did u like them? How did they fit? I'd love to go there in person but a 3 hour drive is a little longer than I'd like to take. http://www.ironpony.com/ipd/pi.asp/ImageName/OXFORD-CASUAL-JEAN-BLUE.jpg/Brand/Oxford/c2/Pants-and-Chaps/c3/Riding-Jeans/c1/Street-Products/KitKey2/Kevlar-Casual-Jean
  16. I know it is difficult to see speed on camera but seems like he should have made that corner easily. Target fixation?

    State 8 mechanics?

    For $350 I hope you bought a $300 tire. For 17 days I hope they repainted your rear wheel as well.
  18. The sound in your video is definitely louder than anything I have ever heard from any of my clutches. Hard to tell from a video though. When you change that oil I would suggest you look it over. Make sure it looks ok.
  19. Jack is that bike a single cylinder bike? Not familiar with a kz305.
  20. I can't give any input on your valves. Just thought I'd share my past experiences with clutch rattle. I also own a kfx450r quad that the clutch rattles in the same manner. That clutch does get abused, however. I am not nice to my quad.
  21. This may be true but this guy does not clutch up any wheelies. Occasionally may power up 1 in 1st but that's it. I have bought all my bikes used so I can not speak of what was done prior to my ownership.
  22. I have owned multiple CBRs over the years and just about every single 1 made a noise with the clutch out in neutral. When I pull the clutch in it goes away. I even took my 93 to the Honda shop and mechanic told me he felt it was just the clutch rattling in the basket and he would not worry about it. I never did anything about it and the bike had over 30k when I sold it with no issues. My 05 does it and I never worry about it either.
