  1. I quit waving at cruisers unless they wave first, I used to wave but when I do they'd look off to the right pretend they don't see me. I'll wave to a scooter before I wave to another cruiser. Goldwing guys most of the time I'll wave too, their usually cool, about 90% of them wave, and I always wave to sport bikes.

  2. damn girl, you really need a bike. I spend like between 20 and 30 dollars a week, and use premium. And thats racing, and screwing around on it when it's nice.

    I hear ya though, my girl drives my Cherokee since her Escort died and she drives allot, fuel costs are killing us. I bought it just to get around in the snow with so I didn't really care about fuel mileage. Now I'm thinking differently.

    I saved money by buying the bike, I'm saving more than the payment by just not driving my truck (3/4 ton diesel) every day.

  3. Polish, is that some sort of cut on me because I'm Polish? If you don't like the way I do shit the just keep it to your self, no need to crack on my nationality just because I don't use the fancy stuff.

    I'm kiddin :D

    BTW I just use a spray detailer on my bike and it looks great, maybe try that.

  4. oh, on another note, some Idiot on a HD, who just pulled out of the bar, decided to do this AGAIN last night. The woman and I were on our way back from Benihanas in Pittsburgh, and on the last leg down Mahoning Ave to the house, this asshat needs to, again, pass me on the right, in my lane. he'd get up to the car ahead, slow down, then when he got just in front of me he'd nail it, did this like 20 times till he pulled off. I didn't do anything because A) I had the woman with me, and B) he was probably drunk. Jack asses

  5. The stereotype is there... Crotchrocket=young dumb kid. Cruiser=toughguy.

    I don't know about that, HD and Cruizers = chairty events, teddy bear drives, lets help everyone

    Sport bikes = triple digits through traffic, sometimes on 1 wheel, double + the recommended speed through corners, and all kinds of other crazy shit, which in turn = slightly off their rocker

    Sport bikes are gaining more and more of the hard ass stereo type while cruisiers get the marshmallow stereotype. Cruisers are considered the "safe" motorcycle. so much so that you don't have to wear any gear. speaking of which, anyone see the new "limited edition" Screw It bandana HD has to go with their new "Screw It" ad campaign?

  6. my point wsn't about looking like burt, it was that with a simple cam swap (okay pulling the radiator was a bit of a bitch) I had more HP/TQ than a motor running 30 psi of boost.

    Here's one with the equivilant amount of work, and probably money too

    after tuning and about another 45 min on the dyno that car made over 810 RWHP, and that was on pump fuel, 30PSI and race fuel would have put it WELL over 1000rwhp, I guess I don't get the point. I don't have millions to spend, so the biggest motor would yeild the best results.

  7. Buddy I work with can build engines from the bottom up and he has an ECLIPSE turbo'd with tons of other goodies and it pushes near 425 at the wheels it's pretty insane. It is one insane eclipse. It's so small too so it flies! He took me for a ride a few weeks ago and I just laughed as we hit 30lbs of boost and it made me laugh my ass off! It was fun as hell to be sitting in the passenger seat experiencing the G's. I was VERY impressed for an Eclipse.

    I don't see why someone would go through that much trouble for that much power. I put a custom spec'd cam (spec'd by me) pushrods, and valve springs into my T/A, a clutch and full exhaust, and intake goodies and put down 433hp/402lbs/ft of tq in my LS1, go to my myspace, and check out my videos. it's in there. I don't think the dyno run is up but there's a few passes in there. Sorry, where displacement is king, I don't see the point in starting with the smallest motor possible.

  8. Whats the wear like?

    So far I've got 15 passes on it, and about 600 miles. But a guy I know has gotten over 5 out of his. I wanted a dual compound tire since 'busas eat rears like rabbits eat green shit, but this was all they had in stock and I was going to a track rental the next morning anyways. i figured WTH, turned out to be a good tire :cool:
