Sorry for the ambiguity. In my haste to post this and get back to work, I didn't present a very clear message. The tickets are for the Detroit Motor Show at the arena in Detroit. They are good until this Sunday 1.27.13. I got them last week, but forgot that I had them. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

As the title states... I have two tickets to the show that I'm not going to be able to use. I and the tix are in Columbus, so post up if you can meet me and take them off of my hands.

Todd, I spoke with Dale a couple of weeks ago, and I'm leaning toward doing a build. I wanted to come in this week, but I've just been really busy. If I can break away on Saturday morning/afternoon, I'll be in then to check you guys out.

Good luck with the sale AND the MOVE!

Would you ride it if we installed a dry clutch?

Really sorry to hear about your loss. Just try to stay focused on how great those 12 years were.

Nice acquisition!!!!

You should definitely hear the pump prime when turning it on and disabling the "kill switch". Things to check if you're not hearing that: 1. Battery connections 2. ECU Connectors 3. Fuses 4. Relays 5. (and this is a lesson that I learned the hard way) Power Commander and cables. There was literally a wire running from the PC to the neg. terminal of my battery. At some point (while riding) that same wire wound up touching the pos. terminal and the spark eventually burned through the wire. Bike would no longer start (pump wouldn't prime). Soldered the wire, re-insulated it, and I've been good to go since. Also, prop the tank, and check the wires running to the pump. Luckily, they are accessible without having to drain the tank and remove the pump. If removing the pump, it may not be a bad idea to clean/replace your fuel filter.

Glad that you and your family made it out of that unharmed!

No problem man! Sorry that it took me this long to get it done!

I realized that this is long past due, but I wanted to briefly share with the OR Family just how satisfied I am with the work that Brian did when tuning my RC. Since I kinda went quasi-crazy with the exhaust and breather mods, the RC became a bit unstable in lower RPMs, so my dyno session wasn't going to be a quick plug-pull-adjust session. There were a few pulls, adjustments, and a considerable amount of "test riding" that took place. It was a really hot day in July, and though we were both fatigued, Brian exhausted all possibilities (including bumping my ignition timing)to create a custom map that best suited my machine. All for an extremely good rate. Long story short, I wouldn't hesitate to go back to DTM, or send any of my friends there should they need a custom map. Thanks Brian, keep it up!

What I've learned from this thread... 1. Apparently on OR, you can pull up and perpetuate a thread that was created 2min. after the site itself was launched... Hot-damn this was a long time ago! 2. And on a more serious note: I NEVER knew that wearing eye protection was law. Granted it makes perfect sense... I mean, why wouldn't you protect your eyes from debris while traveling through space at 40+ MPH? I guess coming from a state with mandatory helmet laws, moving here and seeing riders with NO cranium protection, I just assumed that OH was the hedonism of motorcycling and any and all clothing/accessories were deemed "optional". Honorable mention to PA, Del, and the other states.

Happy Birthday Carrie!!!

It would be worth it to go to DTM. Brian is detail oriented and does great work. I just got a tune from him yesterday... Customer review thread forthcoming!

Thanks Whore!

Thanks RVT! To be honest, I'm still not 100% on whether or not I want to sell. The more that I look at it, the more I consider keeping it... I'd just rather it go to a good home instead of sitting until I can find the time to install it. Hell, I've hardly even ridden my bike this year!

All, I've been thinking about selling my steering damper, as I purchased it from a friend last summer and have yet to install it. It has both and high and low speed settings, and as with most rotary dampers, even though it has an SP-2 (2002-2006 RC 51) mount, it can be installed on any bike (as long as you have the correct mount for the specific application). From what I've read, this damper has received outstanding reviews, and this particular unit is in excellent used condition.

Does this mean that Verizon will be replacing my Droid X with an iPhone for the price of free?!!?

Well PM me an offer based on what you think that it's worth, and I will talk that over with the owner, and we can go from there.

I hope that he heals up soon!

I didn't read ALL of the comments, but this one resonated with me: "This is too dumb to comment on." I share that sentiment.

They aren't exactly comfy either. I've had mine for quite a few years. I'm 5'11 190 and pretty flexible/limber, and the first couple of rides of the season, I feel like I'm on a torture rack. My body eventually gets used to it. The main culprits (all of which are easily remedied): 1. Leather wrapped slab of granite for a seat (seriously, I have a few squares of Cottonelle that are softer). 2. Rigid Suspension (I have mine set pretty stiff, and vow to dial it in should I ever start to track the RC) 3. Ergos (low clip-ons, high pegs). Just get adjustable rearsets (I'm too cheap for that).
