John

ill be there

IMO that motion pro chain tool is a piece of shit. the handle broke right off on mine

yeah me too :sick: it looks like quasimodo

or the new versys may replace the 500.

its gone. or at least not redesigned... the 650R is the new 500 IMO

another fun night guys and gals

one thing i really dont like is the "urine sample" master cylinder. that shit is ugly as hell, and its right up in your shit too...

once you go black, you never go back IMO.

polaris and orion, east of 71. http://maps.google.com/maps?tab=nl&hl=en&q=40.142780%2C%20-82.966040 bollocks. its not cold yet... wait two more months, then it will be starting to get cold

shoulda posted this yesterday... i would have come

i had fun last week, so im gonna try to make it again i gotta work wednesday, but i get off right around 7 and it will take me about 15-20 minutes to get to shell

lane splitting is not really that dangerous at all... any other major city you go to, anywhere else in the world, and lane splitting is the norm. its just the impatient assholes who think "fuck that guy on a bike... he isnt getting where he is going before i do" and try to cut you off or open their door...

26 goes out of marietta along the WV border. ive been wanting to take that ride for a while

ya i know where thats at... my parents live about half way between lancaster and canal

welcome. what part of canal do you live in?

some of em are hosses but there are some id wrestle with

yeah, thats what kawa says, but there are so many variables... rider size, the bike's running condition, valve clearances, and other factors affect top speed... also keep in mind that stock speedometers are notorious for reading high. especially at higher speeds... id think that real world top speeds would fall somewhere between 95 and 105

i like the undertail look. i think it gives the whole bike a cleaner, more symmetric look.

about 100

or just not overfill the oil

yeah except that headlight looks 650R to me. but yeah the rest of the bodywork looks zx6ish.

ah shit man... i remember driving through memphis towards atlanta at about 4 in the AM... POURING rain, couldnt see shit. and getting passed by semi trucks doing about 75-80... crazy bastards.

we were talking about this at bike night last night... anyway here they are:

ben, that tube that goes from the crankcase to the airbox is a crankcase vent/recirculation tube. as combustion occurs, byproducts are made and some of them get into the crankcase. that tube sucks them into the airbox so that they can get into the intake and be burnt again. if that tube isnt there, they would just vent to the atmosphere. its more of an emissions thing IMO than anything else... but with all that oil in there, it was coming out that hole, and thats why it was getting into your airbox glad to hear you got it all fixed up. PS. if its a foam filter, you may be able to get away with giving it a really good wash, and then a light oiling again.
