  2. i'll be there in the car, have the kid but haven't made it out to one yet so we'll probably stop by. sucks I can't ride tho..
  3. I'll be down in the campus area and be free until 12:30, and then from 2-4 and then after 6:30, lol.
  4. welcome man, i'm always down for a ride and meeting new people, you found the right place!
  5. iron pony is $24/tire to mount and balance. i just got a new front a few weeks ago.
  6. ditto, my buddy will ONLY go from an 80 roll because he bought too big of a turbo and it won't spool fully until like 75mph, its GHEY. and SLOW...lol. He hits full boost at 4900rpms and shifts at 6500rpms, LOL

    haha, I'm gonna get one of these for teh women's plates, i gotta renew them here in a month, what's it cost, an extra $50? haha, i wonder how long she'll go before being asked about her plates and asking me, shit, she ask me the PIITB one I'll show her....
  9. Just checking....should be nice riding weather!
  10. damn guys, you should do this tmorrw night! my work blows ass!! damn my 5pm-12am shift tonight,
  11. ooooooohhh, thasss nice! :thumbup: I got the hang of it, can't do it all the time, but the 2nd try is fine. And I officially popped my first wheelie tonight, scared me shitless but I came down smooth, lol. I was in 1st around 6k and a mustang was rev at me and I twisted it hard He liked it and once I stopped at the next light I laughed it off....Not wanting to do it again anytime soon, lol. thanks for the help guys, it will definitely help a lot.
  12. i'm heading out now for a ride, will cruise by there around 7, call me if anyone wants to meet up/ride wherever. I'm on the nw side of town. 595-5536
  13. yay! I just fixed my bike so I'm gonna go out and practice some more, specifically on trying to shift without the clutch, anyone going to bike night?
  14. I didn't know you could shift without the clutch after moving, hmm, that's speed it up a bunch it would seem. Can you be on the gas while shifting or do you have to back of a bit? Is it smooth or a rough engagement? thanks guys, I realize it should come with practice, I just don't remember me having this much trouble on a car and I'm not very patient, lol.
  15. Can a bike/car even outrun a chopper? I mean I can understand a cruiser, but not sure about a copter and definitely not the radio. Idiots...that's who gives up a bad name.
  16. I'm not jerking really, at least not that I can tell. But my revs are all over the place, If I stay on the throttle my revs shoot up, if I back off the front end drops when i get in the next gear. Maybe that's jerking, lol, not sure. Another thing I think might be is I shift around 4k most of the time, maybe its too low in the powerband or something?
  17. Is this just something you get better at/pick up as time goes on? I've been riding about 5 days now, maybe a week, put a couple hundred miles on my bike and I still have yet to get the shifting down smooth and I definitely can't do it fast. It's weird, I can rip through the gears in any car, but this is like another beast or something. I was wondering if when racing you guys use the clutch or what? Also, what's your guys 'routine' when shifting? Do you stay on the gas in the same amount, let off some, etc? Do you just release the clutch or slowly let it out, etc etc? Call me retarded but I don't remember me having this much trouble when I learned how to drive stick like 5 years ago. thanks
  18. i'm planning on showing if I get my bike done, look for a bright blue superhawk, male rider, black helmet/gray jacket. should be there around 7:30 or 8.
  19. he helped me with a bunch of shit on my bike, and will probably again this week since i fucked something else up, lol. hear hear!! for kevin. next beers on me buddy.
  20. definitely, so good almost made me think I could do it, haha
  21. welcome man, it sucks neither of us have stickers or we might've met up last night, hope to see you out again.
  22. I was there for an hour or so, big crowd and those guys are SKILLED. They rode for 30-40 minutes straight before the five0 showed up. Didn't know anyone there but it was still cool for my first 'meet'. I almost got caught on my ride home tho, wound up 2nd a wee bit to far and saw the cop a tad late, luckily he didn't pull out or anything, it's definitely addicting.
  23. I'll be there aroudn 7 or 7:30, look for a bright blue sparkly bike, I've got a black helmet and a silver jacket...no sticker for me yet.
  24. Around 5th and high st probably, just give me a call anyone that wants to get together, i'm free after 6. Matt
  25. Damn, 2 in one day? It sounds like I shouldn't even try my luck there, I've never been there though, in car or on bike, so it sounds like fun, but...yeah. Glad to hear everyone's ok, hate to hear people going down.
