  1. Haven't we all seen every stunt?

    They don't even entertain me anymore when I see stunters...I just think..."wow, like I never saw a wheelie, or tank wheelie, or stoppie, or circles, etc." :nono: I have a buddy that is a stunter and no stunts arouse me like seeing a sportbike hauling ass or railing around turns. Stunting I have no interest in watching nor learning. :dunno:

    agreed stop trying to scratch paint brake wheels and kill yourself and just ride :D

  2. back in the day (1996) when i moved to lima for a couple of years to go to school

    there was a future classmate that hit a pregnant deer broadside going

    OVER 120 MPH and LIVED.....

    he hit the deer soo hard that he just sat up on the bike and sat back down and rode to a

    stop.... the increased momentum of the bike sliced through the deer like a butter knife

    and his momentum didnt throw him off of the bike...

    hard to believe i know but i saw the pictures... i dont recall how much gear he was wearing

    but i didnt matter. i saw the pictures of the bike and the front was torn down to the frame and covered in blood.. my take is if you have no other choice but to hit the deer...THROTTLE

    THROTTLE AND MORE THROTTLE and it may help push through the deer

  3. cool article

    thats how we used to break in rear end gears for our roundy round cars at the shop

    i used to work at and when the customer didnt do that the gear would overheat and

    boil the fluid ... excess friction due to rough contact area... nothing to seal between the

    gears but its the same concept and as long as we broke them in that way we never replaced a gear... :moo: can i use that or will someone get mad :beating:

  4. bikes to nv

    hmmmmmmm....

    more like bikes that kill

    i bought my father in laws old vt1100 when he bought his new

    vtx1300 .. i went over the 1100 w a fine tooth comb after i got it home to

    howard from lancaster where he lives and was very surprised to find

    bolts on the handle bar riser clamps tightened wrong and the headlight

    mount torqued due to not in recess on one side and the front brake line holder

    at the bottom of the triple tree turned the wrong way so everytime you turned hard

    rt it would scratch the frame cover in front of the tank ...

    my father in law took this bike to btnv for all work until

    i told him about this and now he takes his new bike to the dealer ..

    i know its expensive but i dont have the time to work on his bike too and

    he has never even changed the oil on his bikes sad to say... :(

    one day there gonna forget to tighten an axle bolt and splat

    try a checklist if your that busy guys...

  5. i agree w the overfilled idea .over filled my vt 1100 by 3/4 of a quart due to not remembering

    fill on level ground on a centerstand or atv jack ... ran like shit at idle and even worse off idle..

    it was coughing oil into the breather tank and into the carbs... mobil one burns like crap .. cant imagine what two quarts would do on a inline four or the like.... also just a thought ...

    the problem could be a leaking clutch master cylinder ... it could slowly bleed away pressure until it killed the engine and then be hard to change gears until you released and pulled the clutch again . might be something to check...

  6. piaa makes a 115db horn that is about twice a loud as a car horn but its big so buy two and

    mount one on both sides of the bike to keep it balanced... hehe... goto bikebandit.com and search electrical then horns. although if you make it too loud people might be looking for a semi

    when you honk and look right past you and splat

  7. The roads are why i moved here.. I get bored driving straight and flat for too long... I lived in

    lima for almost two years and surprisingly i never got a ticket but i would if i had owned a bike back then. Someone in lima asked me why i drive so fast and i told him that why should i, there are no curves.... I have wanted to road race for years but cant afford to start or have the time to.

  8. i wouldnt call it a big truck it is a 2003 silver honda crv with a furniture services 911 decal on both sides... i talked to you when you were putting gas in your bike and everyone else was in eating if that was you i was talking too....

  9. I saw a group of you out in apple valley today and thought i would check you

    out. quick recovery from bruising to the blue 600rr.... looked harsh but glad to

    hear your ok. im originally from lancaster but moved up to the valley four years ago.

    i travel 80 thousand miles a year for my company so i am all over ohio but mostly ne ohio.

    hope to meet some of you in north cols.
