yea the pro school is pretty nice. I've instructed for it before. Pure 1 on 1 with an instructor who is a racer. Focuses usually more on the racing side of things too. Get more in depth on lines, braking, overtaking, etiquette, etc.
-
i'd rather just sell it as I don't have anything to put a turbo on anyway. $200 and it's all yours.
-
Looking for some tire warmers for the track bike. Would prefer dual temps or digital.
-
I have 2 race tails already. Need one so I can pull double duty
-
Looking for a tail section for my 600. Had one before but I guess I tossed it. Doesn't matter the condition much to me as long as the brake/tail lights work.
-
tossing this up on here once again. $200 for everything
-
damn, wish i had everything together for this. Too much other stuff I gotta get before I can make the move to register(helmets,gloves,warmers). Waiting on this promotion at work before I start slinging $ lol
-

i love my springfield mil-spec. Had a RIA Tactical 2011 and shot both together at the range. Springfield destroyed the RIA in every possible way. Only about $130 more than the RIA, ofcourse doesn't have the cool features of Beavertail, skelotinized hammer/trigger, full-length guide rod, or the rail system. But it does come with a tight match package of stainless barrel and bushing. Shoots well and has no rattel unlike the rattley inconsistent RIA.

ugh... its frustrating to know I could sell my car and buy one of these. But I know they are too nice for me to have as a track bike anyways
you buy it, i'll race it

78hp is just a cam swap. 1st gen motors didnt have near the wheelie/crank issues of the 2nd gens. if its been recently rebuilt/freshened, then it should be good to go. that many miles without being inspected i would be worried, but not if it's been maintained. you can find sv motors for a few hundred bucks.

I like watching Marcel Irnie's videos on YouTube... Hilarious

Also with 401k's, you can take control of where the money is being invested. I moved all o mine into a different fund that I heavily researched. 20% ytd gains in my 401k.

Yea whole life is a great option. Guaranteed growths which are often beaten with dividends on top. Like you said after so long it self funds an just keeps growing and you can access tax free without penalty. I don't even sell anymore and I still push it because it is a great product to add to your overall financial plan. I have my own small policy because I know I can convert my term rider down the road when I need more coverage and I'm locked in for life at the top health rating for a 27 yr old

He said max out 401k. I agree with that. Maxing out is $17,500 for 2013.
i never agree with maxing a 401k. I prefer to invest only what the company will match(free money), and then put into a Roth and/or other avenues. This is also for our government employees with deferred comps. That money looks great until you realize that your pension puts you in a higher bracket and now you're paying a big chunk to access your retirement. I like a nice whole life added into a plan as well since it will provide liquidity for any emergencies and a nice death benefit incase of the unthinkable... not to mention a lot of companies are now offering LTC access riders to help cover any nursing home stays. It is quite a big world this investing game, so there are many different routes. The key is not to be greedy, but also not to be scared.

rebuilt e46 m3... i wouldn't even consider over $12-14k. There's plenty of clean title ones in the $15-18k range
-
Condors in our trailer. In a pinch or in the truck just two soft straps and non ratcheting pull straps. Sit on the bike with each strap bounce the bike and pull. Did this in the pouring rain Saturday and worked just fine
-
Lol, gotta go to a winter hot spot and turn some laps in anger
-
Well I now have the bike part taken care of...
-
Thank you!!
-
Depends on what your bottom dollar would be... I could pick it up this weekend
-
Lol. There's 2 of these here and I'm looking at a SV superbike from a good builder out west... It's a big decision lol

Is that a pit bull damper I see?
Opinions on brake pads for sportbikes
in Tech and Tips

i'm big fan of the Vesrah RJLs. used the ferrodos on my SV and switched to the Vesrah on my 600's. Biggest thing with the rjls is initial bite. When you literally have to run higher fluid levels in your forks due to the pad... you know they bite. There's no progressive bite with those pads. Very much an on/off racing pad. Ferrodos were good, however I have no experience with them on fast bikes nor on the street with any of these pads.
