What can I say, I am a terrible rider.

There are no advantages of a chain over a belt unless you do track days... and even then, most ppl that do trackdays for fun don't change the gearing anyway. Belt = no maintenance Belt = no goo projections everywhere Belt = longer life Belt = smoother I think you may get 0.5HP more to the...

My kind of bike... http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/boxer-design-superbob-concept/

Sweet car!

The Queen Mary; Next: Your bike being shampooed with lots of bubbles.

You're entitled to your opinions :Flip: Yeah the Acura was awesome, but the GTI with the DSG & 4 doors makes it easier to commute... and I have to take Juliette to school 3 times a week now... The dual clutch tranny is sweet and quick...

No plans, I use the car to commute to work and it's great as it is.

You can't find Renaults in the US :)

Thanks Mike, hey what are you doing on Sat? Up for a ride in your neighborhood?

'08 VW GTI with 60k miles on it and I love it!

Lol yeah that was one of them... If I had not messed with the exhaust to begin with it would have been fine though, so I can't blame Buell for that :D

Yeah but we don't have a chain to lub :Flip:

25k miles on my '09 without issues (well I had a couple of problems, but they were my fault :D).

Older Buells had lots of reliability issues, but more recent XB models have been fine.

The low confidence in low speed maneuvers is because of the clipons... Very nice looking bike :) I get 50+ on Hwy and mountain riding. I get 40mpg on city streets... but I don't try to save either :)

Sure Pete, you may :) Mr. Lucky is fine as well... that was my 6th hard crash, 4th totalled motorcycle and still no broken bones from a motorcycle accident :Flip: Hey, and if you ain't crashing, you ain't trying hard enough :eek:

Won't need it... I've broken both my ankles when I was a teenager, and since then I had a number of ankle sprains etc... so I know how it feels and this is nothing! :) I can almost run already :thumbup: I had an awesome time... a bit too short but still great and that's all that matters :)...

Yeah we had a good time anyway :) About the video, I was PISSED!!!! I had decided to use the Contour (helmet mount) later in the day, so I did not have it with me when I crashed... that would have been a pretty cool video to have/analyse :) As usual the ankle felt OK right after the crash...

Who's the A-hole who red-flagged the session? It's that guy!!!!

Had passed that instructor in the bowl earlier in that lap :D End of the session: John: In the background, you can see a 3rd track, where folks take their cars to drift (videos of that shall follow later). It was too cool to watch! One of the instructors we timed at 1'26 (3sec...
