  1. It would be a Superstock built motor, as well... 180 plus.
  2. It is the best bike, I think. However, nothing wrong with racing a 1000 is there? Should I ask your permission first? God forbid I ride anything else than a 750... Not being a dick, of course...
  3. I'm simply going to twist the throttle open longer and brake later... Should make it feel like a newer bike... Or, I might actually get my 750 sold and buy a giggy 1k and go that route... Who knows, I guess...
  4. Dude, your Grandma's Bridge team doesn't count as a group of ladies!
  5. Yeah, when I heard "Low 1:30s" I figured Drew would chime in. I heard slower lap times, but Drew was physically there that day and I wasn't so, I didn't want to chime in... Gregg is slow anyways so, him not being able to keep up isn't out of the ordinary...
  6. Don't forget people - I have a 2005 750 that is 100% set-up for $6500 (bike only with a set of rains)...
  7. Oh, it's got a title - Indiana slavage, baby!!! you know us racers...
  8. Yeah, meant Todd from Pony... You on the other hand, I will sell you a motor with a bike attached!!! Have a good Christmas?
  9. I try and tell new riders to do a two day back to back. That way, things are fresh and you can easily apply what you were taught the next day. The first day ever is always a nail biter and you aren't as focused. But, as Chris stated - some do it the same day and others are lucky to do it within 4 weekends... Get to an instructor, have them watch you and they will let you know...
  10. Or, buy my set-up and sell his bike off to Todd...
  11. Which one is it? How much, etc... PM me and we can talk.
  12. Got your text. What the hell? Tell me you're just getting new Suomy lids... Or, something else?
  13. This is a good example of why a liter bike may work better. Of course, you can easily change the spring rates of a 600 and 750 to accomodate the weight difference. Yes, if you are pushing 300 lbs, a 600 is gonna suck. Just tooling around town would really suck even at slow speeds where handling means nothing really... Again, it is not really a power deal, but on a liter bike, low end grunt can be better used if you are a bit larger in stature... Otherwise, a 750 is a great choice as stated before...
  14. Will do - all ya gotta do is ask!
  15. I'm a fucking idiot - I meant Mitch!!! I had Justin from Pony in my head... I is stoopid sometimes... Mitch.
  16. Sweet!!! We can barter for suits, jackets or MX stuff, too. Whatever you decide... Congrats!!
  17. I'd say that it really depends. Too many guys ride above an beyond their ability that no matter if they were lazy on a 1000 or trying to push a 600, it is pretty much the same - they can't really do it and be safe or understand what is going on enough to really judge. That being said, a guy like you - yes. It will be easier. It was kinda the point I was making about the MX bikes... Take Drew and I. If we were riding MX, Drew is a better MX rider. If I were to ride a 450 and he on his 250, I'd probably be much closer to him due to me being able to not ride as hard. I'm still above my ability, but I can make up for the lack of with a little extra juice. Now, to ride a 250 well, I am not skilled enough. I cannot lug the motor, I cannot use a higher gear and get away with it. Etc. I think you can be lazy and ride as fast as a guy on a 600 going hard. On the street. Even on the track to a degree. Drew knows this - how many times was a guy like Etter on his built 1000 hard to get around because his power down the straight made up a huge difference? I had to Banzai him on the brakes JUST to make up that distance to get back on his rear wheel in 7. He's a good rider and I could pass him out of 8, into 10, out of the Valley into the Carousel, etc., but he'd clobber me back on the front straight or at worse... Get me at the middle of the back straight and I'd have to work hard again. It was never ending with a good rider on a Giggy 1K... But, handling is what seperated us. I could gain and pass in the turns. Eventually, I'd get far enough ahead over a few laps that I could put him back enough that he'd pass at teh end of teh straight, but he couldn't match teh brakes and turn in of 7... You get the idea...
  18. Let's see.... "Brian is my idol and I wish I could be him forever." No, wait... That's your response. Oh, yeah... Drew will say "It's about time I rode a real bike."...!!! I still need to let him ride the 750. I was going to last year, but with my oil leak and the fact I was worried about the new tranny and stuff, I didn't let him. I felt bad, but I think we still had some fun... Next year.
  19. Yeah, I just trail slightly to keep it tight. You were definately getting better. I was really proud of ya by the end of the year. You were definately getting better going in and through. You always were better than me in through the top of the keyhole. Damn... I am really going to have my work cut out for me next year, huh? Bastard... I'll just pop a spark plug or something!
  20. You referring to Justin from JNOD? He used to work for All Terrain, right? That's who I am talking about... He's got some press on his record endo. I think it was Stunt Wars last year, no? Maybe something in the summer, though. Whatever the case, he's beating a LOT of guys. He made the stunt crew that used to do the Pony Bike Nights from Hinds look like Novices when it came to endos...
  21. Do you need me to help with your spelling Friday? I can bring a chalk board, use stick figures as to not overwhelm you and hopefully teach you a few good words... We'll start with words like: Loser Douche Thieves Spell Check Yours You're Ought to be fun. I'll supply the Cheerios and Fruit Punch!!!
  22. Thieves is what you meant to type...
  23. I haven't seen his results in any of the publications and really, I need a resume and a schedule. This isn't road racing, of course, but I still need resumes to legitimize the events and who we help out... Has he competed and have any results?
