great movie.

very good move ben!

if he doesn't answer right away, keep trying. his prices are worth it.

never fear ridersdiscount is here! how much for sam's bike

didn't mean to post.

mac makes it stupid easy to dualboot using bootcamp.

both are bad because there is no R6 front and center. jk, i like the first one for reasons already stated. but surusly - no r6...

go track only on it and buy a second smaller bike like i'm in the process of doing.

lines are really meant for track purpose. if you were to compare rubber lines vs ss lines for a lap or so they'd be identical in feel. where the ss lines shine through is those last laps of a race or the last few sessions of your trackday when you're burying your bike into the corner on the brakes - rubber lines will make you pucker a bit because they are expanding from the fluid getting hot. ss lines will be a consistent feel all day long. it became popular with the street crowd (as most items do for street bikes) because they saw their favorite racer had them on his bike and had to have them. this also raises a debate about fluid and boiling point. but if you're just doing normal basic street with minor track use i'd say dot 4 or 5.1 would suffice.

stopping power comes with pads. feel comes with lines.

depends on the job situation post college if i'm in or not. i could be in ohio or east coast or west coast by then.

i'd rather have a predictable rider that can hold their lines over someone who moved up just because the pace of novice was too slow. talk to your coaches and instructors - they will best tell you if you are able to.

eh i think i'm out.

rusty you get out of this thread with your negative attitude lol

have you gotten your gsxr on track yet with the new setup this year? (or is it the same setup? i dont remember)

me thinks it'll be done before we are on track.

i love marty's music in his slideshows lol. just go faster over the bumps

sjc is out for sure. i haven't registered yet (still 40+ spots), but plan on going. bike's all ready to go just want to make sure i'm not driving up to a rain event.

anyone else going? i know jeff (c7fx) is, im curious about anybody else.

well technically it was between the cb350 or the rs500 (yamaha thumper) so whichever pops up first is most likely what i'd get down the line. how's the parts/aftermarket selection on the bikes you mentioned? what makes the cb350 more difficult to work on than what you mentioned? i thought he bought those shocks off ebay, guess i'll have to reread the thread.

question: how did you know those shocks were going to work with your mount points? were they adjustable height or did you just get really lucky? also, does bore-tech do just engine work or can you include your carbs as well? if you don't mind, would you be willing to share the cost of that service? pm if you'd like. i looked at their site pricing but was slightly confused. have you looked into rd350 wheels? there was a bike on cafe racer tv where they had a suzuki front end with yamaha rd350 wheels. not wire, but nostalgic. lossa engineering was the builder, i'm sure if you gave them a call they might have some ideas. i'm getting the cafe bug and i'm looking for a cb350 twin. i'm seeing a lot at the vintage races during the wera rounds i've been going to and i'm liking them a lot. probably not to race, but definitely to ride around town. i'm not so good with the forming and making my own molds so i'd probably have to look into buying premade "kits" for the tank/tail, i think the rest would be a good project though.

nelson only gets easier the faster you go. i definitely really enjoyed the track when i went there a few weeks ago.

i've been using the HFT ramps for two years now with no problems.

you really put a lot of monster stickers on lol
