  1. I agree. There was a lot going on
  2. I might have room for 1-2 depending on if I can get the truck to fit or not. Hopefully know sometime soon.
  3. That is a good idea. I can go take some of those railroad ties from down the way for support. #Winning
  4. Weetabix are damn delicious!
  5. I'm curious as well. I really want to get one to move yard stuff out of the garage for more bike space. I am leaning plastic/vinyl to hold up better to the environment but maybe I don't know this environment very well.
  6. I guess no WoW all day for you!
  7. I don't believe that Russia wants Assad out. Straight cold war stuff all over again. Although we haven't really tried to get Assad out. We don't have the public stomach for it. And I agree, we already have created breeding grounds in Iraq and Afg. No need to do it again.
  8. They would have turned on us anyway. It is a complete mistake to supply arms and training to anyone in that region. Inevitably it gets used against us in the future. See Iraq, Afghan, Syria etc. We just need to STF out of that region's politics.
  9. Ha that is only the new stuff. Like IP said, try our air cooled stuff.
  10. He modified them. Took out two pistons because weight bro.
  11. I think it would have been better if he had rode in on one of those ridiculously stupid stretched and lowered bikes seemingly made out of pure chrome from cheap hubcaps.
  12. I don't think I mentioned reliability anywhere. Me thinks you were just looking to drop some Ducati hate.
  13. It is the Middle East. They are both civilians and soldiers at the same time. If you are fighting them they are soldiers, if you kill them they are civilians.
  14. While not defending either of those presidents. It is far easier to do whatever you want when you are the lifetime president of Russia. Maybe if more people had been on board: I had one. Now you can too!
  15. If you are mostly doing it to do it and aren't in it to make huge power a stock motor in reasonable shape can probably handle a few pounds of boost. The easiest route I have seen many do for inline engines is take the exhaust about where it normally collects into 1-2 anyway and put the turbo there. Then plumb the intake pipe up the side into the intake area. You would ditch the stock intake box and go straight to the intake runner. Using a FI bike would be easier than a carb bike in my opinion. A V-twin makes it tougher because the exhaust exits are typically on opposite ends of the bike. Which would necessitate the most custom plumbing.
  16. To head off the torque comment that would follow this from that same forum thread "103 about 81 ft pounds" 81 lb/ft is not much from a ~1.7L motor. A not very high tech air cooled 1100 from Ducati half a decade ago makes almost that.
  17. I had to drive with mileage in mind in the wifes 08 2.5 with the slushbox just to get into the 24-25 range on our commute in Denver. Of course she would take it and get it all the way down to 21-22! On the highway it would pull low 30's at steady 65-70.

  19. Haha I typed something quickly then changed my mind and I didn't see a delete only edit so .
