  1. I'm with joe - what is wrong with this auction? People beg for sponsors all of the time - this guy just found a more creative way of doing it. I appreciate his creativity.
  2. Not without a turbo itself. Of course, it weighs about 1/8th as much.
  3. 77Nova - care to elabaorate on 'Xbox' computer? What do you mean? Just a regular PC in an XBox shell?
  4. This is great advice - if all you plan to do is squid around and cruise from spot to spot. Of course, it kind of doesn't make sense given that you are buying SPORTbike which is purpose-designed to be on the track. I don't know about you, but I get bored riding from place to place to stand around and talk about how great bikes are. I think I'd rather be riding mine. There is more to it than being mature. A 150 RWHP bike with grabby brakes and radical steering geometry is not the right tool to learn how to ride safely and well. There is a reason why racers (you know, those really good riders) started on smaller bikes and worked their way up. There is also a reason that you don't put a 16 year old into a Bugatti to teach them how to drive. Sure, you can respect the bike and not twist the throttle all of the way, but then, why did you buy the thing in the first place in you are scared of it? Make sure you get an insurance quote BEFORE you purchase anything. Some of the insurance quotes I have seen are frightening - like half the cost of the bike/yr. Nothing like buying a new bike and then finding out you can't afford ot make the insurance payments on it. Have you checked Honda Northwest (or whatever it is called) in Hilliard? Have you tried to bargain with the dealers? The CBRs are expensive bikes, so they really may not be willing to bargain much - they usually sell pretty well.
  5. No comparison whatsoever. Motocross experience does not prepare you for anything other than knowing how to work the controls. I recommend you look at something much smaller for your first streetbike. Be safe whatever you do - don't forget to buy gear. If you can hold off a few months, the deals will be there as the 07s are announced and sales slow down.
  6. It will mostly remain inside, but I would like to be able to put it on the bike and show it off occasionally.
  7. I had my seat cowl signed by a bunch of the AMA guys this past weekend and would like to get it protected somehow. Unfortunately, it wasn't sanded down beforehand, so it's still got the clear coat over it, at least I think it is clear-coated. It is whatever they put on the plastic/fiberglass of bikes that allows them to stay 'shiny' (yes, I'm a paint retard). Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking a clear vinyl but I'm not sure about that because I don't trust myself to do a dry application, and I'm afraid a wet application will wipe the stuff off (written on with a sharpie).
  8. bump. $30. I'll be going to the track tomorrow for the weekend and will have it with me. Call me on my cell 614-886-7680 and we can arrange to meet at the track.

  18. http://www.midohio.com/school.aspx. Click the Motorcycle Courses > Performance Riding menu item and then click learn more for information about it. You don't have to own a Kawi, just ride one. Just signed up for it today (novice class because I do not R0x0r).

  20. Thanks, Jesse. John (dragknee66) confirmed they don't have electricity. I'm not concerned about it, but my wife is coming; you know how women are, sometimes. I should tell her to be happy the have showers and flush toilets. Pit toilets freak her out.
  21. Good setup, but I would have gone with a Pentium D805 and overclocked the sucker. The nice thing is now computers will actually last longer than 1 year. You should be able to get several years out of it, provided you don't just like to spend money on computer parts.
