  1. 2003 Yamaha YZF-R6. my first and current bike, other that a lot of motocross bikes, pretty light weight, smallest of the 600's overall size wise. don't know what it tops out at but i've had it to just over 160 at about 13,xxx RPM and still pulling hard. easy to ride, likes fast corners, does some good ridin on 1 wheel (front or rear wheel) and it looks damn good.
  2. Auburn = suck, when i was looking around for canadits for the rear diff of my car i found alot of bad things said about the clutched burning out quick. not the Detroit true track i got in it now = bad ass no clutches.
  3. i thought about the resale part of it and wasn't that concerned about it, however i bought a car once that had a slavage title to it and when it was transfered to my name it was a clean title. so we'll see how it goes, i still have to ride it but i did go over it pretty good and everything is cosmetic. i'm going to talk to him again tomorrow and i'll throw up an update on what i decide.
  4. its in Hebron, i looked very close at the swing arm and its not into the metal at all it just took the paint or what ever Yamaha put on it off. it wasn't wrecked hard. the guy was hullin ass out of his drive way on cold tires and it washed out from under him, the mail box post broke the rear sub frame so it wasn't a very fast wreck. and i would be trading an R6 for an R1.
  5. but it has a slavage title graemlins/thumbsdown.gif , its an 04' R1 with under 500 miles on it. the dealer has fixed it and put some parts i wanted on it to try to get me to buy it. with trade of my 2003 R6 it would only be a few hundred buck more to get it. i have seen it before it was fixed, broke the tail section and most of the plastic, has some road rash on the swing arm, did not touch the engine or the gas tank. so what do you guys think? should i get it or not?

    It's a great material to make parts with, the alloy used in most racing parts is stronger than aluminum and about the same weight. Too bad it's a little brittle:(

    actully yes they do, VW engines are a common bonfire fuel out in the desert.
  7. yeah i am the AJ that worked there, ASE isn't open book test, the last 4 i took wern't anyways, the only reason i take them is the area service manager for GM gets on my case about them, that and GM traning. i have been a tech for 4 or 5 years at GM dealerships so i do have alot of skills behind me and i'm not taking anything seriously, i mean this is the internet. but out of the 4 test i have taken i did pass all 4 witch are electrical, engine performance, steering and suspension, heating and a/c. they may just be a piece of paper but i have a better chance of getting a job at a shop than someone with out them or less of them than i do.
  8. i called a few placed to strip the body and they wanted too much as i can do it myself cheeper,i didn't strip it before i did the work because when i blast it it will get all the oil and dirt off insted of having to go back and clean everything again before paint. as for the power house juat a regular ol' small block chevy with 2 hair dryers
  9. whats happening, i'm AJ. just another noob with some toys. i have a 2003 R6 and in the final stages of a TT 1967 pro-touring camaro, i'd give more detale but not ready to let the cat out of the bag yet but the Twin-turbo part is just a tease graemlins/leghump.gif
