Also knows as Sideways sloppy joe...

Juicy Prime Rib 12oz or 16oz. Cooked Medium. Baked Potato with all the fixins. Get some Grilled onions or mushrooms to go with it.

I would rather the bolt break then Bend. Bend would have better chance of bending the frame. I can drill bolts out, but trying to bend them back to get them out of the motor is harder and would cause more damage.

Spools really aren't supposed to save the bike.... They will bend very easy if the hit anything solid. I have lowsided my race 600 once and highsided it once and with the small aluminium spools my swingarm still doesn't have a scratch. A buddy with 05 GSXR 600 has the big slider spools and in one crash the right side slider bolt was bent to barely useable. I definately try to stay with the Mushroom type sliders as they may help the bike to slide instead of flip. Flounder do you know which brand comes with the best bolt? Most of these places give cheap bolts that bend on the slowest of wrecks.

I rode one in 2002 at VIR and it was very friendly even with street tires peg dragging was not that hard.

Yeah I need to put my rain tires in a Plastic bag again for the w*nter... I got a new set on the 1000 (damn) that will have to sit till at least februrary till the Florida trip.

Yeah the ZZR is the Race ZX-6r of from 1998-2002 and is still a very capapable bike seeing how I get beat by one regularly on the track and that is finishing top 10 in 600s and top 5 against 1000s.

Been there tried that. My thyroid does not increase when I eat thus my metabolism increase is minimal. Bloodtest put me at .47 of a range of .35 - 4.00 to give you an idea of what I am saying. They doctor wouldn't put me on Thyroid medication because I was within normal though he said that it wouldn't hurt.... I tried eating 7-8 times a day and even at 2500 calories intake and some exercise I still gained weight (not lifting weights at that time). With my metabloism I have to stay under 2000 max. Thus after my fasting for the first week I begin at under 1000 calories for the day and under 10grams of Carbs. Then as I get closer to my goal I will increase Calorie and carbs up to 15-20. I did this for 2years to maintain 173lbs.

Jerm If it is nice Friday, I will hook up with ya after 5 p.m.

I tried, best place to meet is actually in Chillicothe as it is about 2 hours for Cincy, Columbus, Dayton. No one showed up.

Now Flounder you doing the Dynamic or Static balance on Yota????

Yes this is a deomonstration on Thread Jacking from professionals.

Well when you are 220 it ain't gonna hurt for a few days..... Now to get down to under 160 then fill back in with some muscle.

Nah, just a voluntary act of famine.

I had 3 slices of bread yesterday and that will be it till Saturday...

Well we need to get him on a thousand at Mid OH and let him uncork it out of the Keyhole.

yeah all i needed was one more session. I was heading out on a new set of BTs

Yeah, that is a whole new realm of wrong.. Dang.

My favorite Suzuki schemes are the 01 Blk/Silver 1000 the 2000 GSXR 1000 Blue/Blk, and the 2000 yellow GSXR 750. That and my custom Blue and neon Orange

I think 441 is part of the Blue Ridge but not sure. You should have went to the Skyway. I like that road 10 times better then the Gap. Curves are still numerous, and they are more open for better sight and more forgiving then the gap. Plus with less chance of someone else taking you out. Glad you had a safe and fun time.

Don't worry you won't catch the Lizard...

Yeah I tried to hook up with Drew, but never found him on the track. As I like Drew's lines they are very similar to mine thorugh the key spots. Just trying to keep up with him on corner exit was I think the most helpful as he gets a great drive.

Also if yamaha is still making the YZF 600 (not R6) that is also a good bike that is somewhat forgiving, comfortable, and powerful enough to keep new riders interested. Now if you do go with a 600 the biggest thing is don't ride the bike just back and forth to work or grocery store and think you are learning to ride. First go to a parking lot and learn braking (SMOOTH), do some swerving, and foremost when riding in corner mentally tell yourself when you want to lean to push the bar to lean (Countersteering). If you want to lean right push on the right bar and vice versus. Even though you may do it somewhat subconciously you need to be aware of it and it has to be habit as it can save your life in many situations. Had a buddy who bought a Ninja 500 rode it back and forth to work nothing eslse. We took him on a ride with us out in the twisties. My dad 2 up on the BMW 1100 RT behind him, and as soon as the riders in front were out of sight he slowed down some but then still crashed on a corner that was easily taken at 10-20 mph faster then he crashed at. Everything you can think of wrong to do in a corner he did it, target fixation, panic, panic brakes. If all he would have done was turn his head into the corner he could have easily made it at that speed.

I keep trying to get someone to follow me and see where my weekest point is so I can concentrate solely on that and maybe they have a method to try to help improve that part. Problem is I think I am weak in every aspect Corner entry, Mid corner, and Corner Apex. I try each time to improve corner entry, but I am stuck at a plateau I am not sure how to get around besides just saying go into the corner faster till I crash then try to back up a spot. I was going to follow the one CR with the R1 that was pitted along the fence. I told him I had fresh tires and I needed at least a lap to scrub them in, so what does he do, he just takes off and that was it for the day.

Well I would have considered the F4i a good starter bike along the lines of the FZ6, Bandit 6 (no more). I really don't care what they do since I can't handle their bricks for seats anyway.
