hello

awesome.

If you find a bike you want to keep, and you need to lower it, you'll definitely want to cut the springs (forks and rear shock) at some point. When you install lowering links and move the forks, the suspension still has its original travel length, even though the bike is now closer to the ground. This means that when doing heavy braking or any other load that strains the suspension, you risk bottoming out on other parts of the bike instead of the suspension bottoming out. When you cut the springs, it shortens the length of travel of the shock so that the shock bottoms out, stopping bike parts from meeting. Plus, you don't need links and stupid looking forks when you cut the springs. Like I said though, you probably only want to do this if you plan on keeping the bike around. This is a more $$ and labor intensive route, and not all that necessary if shes just a beginner, but it is something to think about.

I've been thinking about getting a track bitch that I'll let her ride.

My bike is half the world away, but I have a full plate when I get back in June: - 05 USD fork/front end swap (Matris internals on the forks) - Full Ti exhaust system - Fix valve cover - Change the oil - Ride

do you have the info on the ones you didnt buy?

nope.

oh beer threads...they never end

I'm just sayin, this is the OR Bike Night thread, so it sounds like one night for OR members to get together. In actuality, its ending up being people posting their favorite places to go. Just a simple observation.

That is all.

That shirt is sick. Wish I could be there to get one

Why don't the people that want to take action to plan all collaborate on something then put the options up to vote if there is still a discussion. This thread is just confusing methinks.

You're forgetting that you would need a new axle and new clip-ons as well I just checked the schematics on bikebandit and the wheel assemblies look identical except for the axle, so hopefully I should be good. I keep forgettign about that fender too...I'll probably be without one for a while until i remember/care to pick one up.

I'll make the check payable in beers at Indy

mj has been resurrecting more than Jesus lately...

Is there a charge at the Sheraton for motorcycle parking? I think this might have been answered, but I didn't see it in the first post and the rest of the thread gets kind of confusing...I'm going to blame it on Cheech for no reason at all.

That is one killer deal. You're making me consider buying it if it's around when i return...

OK, 2 tickets and one hotel room for me please.

Is there a schedule for when money needs to be in by? I'm going to go out on a limb since I'm still half a world away, but I would like to reserve 2 tickets, bike parking and all, and I'd rather be in a hotel.

This whole process would probably be a lot easier if more people than just Duane would read the bill. Most of the comments in this thread are speculation of things that aren't even contained in the legislation. But then again, it would kill the entertainment that is this thread...

That's the CROW system, and they have those mounted on everything down to HMMWVs too. The new hotness is the Stryker outfitted with a Main gun.
