  1. As Jarvis stated, by lowering the front (i.e. pushing the forks up through the triple tree), the rake (angle derived from the relationship between the front wheel and the frame/body) is decreased. If done IN MODERATION this should aid in achieving quicker turn-in.

    Mine is lowered a couple of mm in the front, and I've ridden an RC with stock settings, and I could actually tell the difference (albeit minor) just putting around town.

    Most RC owners (to quell the disadvantage of riding an overweight piglet), will lower it a couple mm in the front, and shim the rear up a couple mm for quick turn-in. CAVEAT: Don't get carried away with decreasing rake, as you're flirting with instability, and the steering could get a lil squirly and toss out some headshake (I assume that your CBR has that Honda Electronic Steering Damper).

    Hope this helps.

  2. For the people that travel frequently for work it is humorous.. Especially those who travel international.

    +1. I actually saved all of the soap and lotion that I didn't get to use (because they give you a REDICULOUS amound each day), and by the end of the year, I donated a shoebox full to the homeless shelter in my hometown.

  3. Well, someone should go, take some pics and repost to this thread. I am curious to see what kind of chick "brownsuga" is. Any takers on the investigation? :D

    I've actually hung out with BrownSuga at a few events and a couple of parties. She's really cool and a very centered/down-to-earth lady. It's kinda unfortunate that this was her first post but I hope that once the flames die and the smoke clears we'll all see her as a cool and valuable member of this site.

  4. all of us in dayton have add really bad. it only takes one thing to be said off topic to just completly ruin a whole thread

    HA. I suffer from that very same affliction, and I grew up in VA. However, I'm sure that living in Dayton for 18mos. only exacerbated my condition.

  5. :lol:I NEVER imagined that a thread (posted on THIS site) about bikini-clad women would eventually turn into a discussion about the amenities of military-issued housing.

    Now back to your regularly-scheduled program... Errr... Something like that.

  6. Mayne... Y'all cats are LUNCHIN'! I don't get on carnival rides for the simple fact that you can un-pack it, set it up in 3 days, and then at the end of the weekend, pack up and go to the next town...

    I DO NOT see myself getting on a contraption set-up in someone's yard, propelled by some bungee cords affixed to a harness and a couple of steel posts, pulled by a Quad.:eek:

  7. yeah no kidding and my kids will have a note to school giving them permission to beat their ass if they get outta line and then to call me so i can beat it again when they get home.

    True confession: Each year, at the 1st P.T.A. (Parent Teacher Association) meeting, the lady that gave birth to me would tell my teachers that they had my parents' permission beat me if I acted up, and if they were afraid, one of my parents would leave work to come "take care of me"... Looking back, I don't think that my Mum MISSED an OPPORTUNITY to whup my azz!:eek:
