    Mountain Run today, pics

    I took a nice, long semi twisty ride today up Bear Mountain in NY, with a small stop for some eye candy. I also was trying out some HDR techniques, and they definitely pop alot! In other news, after getting a nice paycheck + bonus, I'm finalizing my decisions for my next sets of...

    Accident last night... V3.0 destroyed.

    a good friend of mine had the same thing happen to him wedneday, except he was on a pedal bike (he had just qualified to bike in the empire state games). He's not nearly as lucky as you were, as he broke 3 vertabrae, and is lucky to be walking. Glad you're alright man, and after 3 serious...

    Wanted

    It was a good movie, especially for the first hour (as has been the case with many recent films), but in my opinion, the last portion was way too rushed, and it seemed to leave me wanting for something. Had it not been hyped as some amazing movie, maybe I wouldn't have expected something so...

    Almost taken out by convertible "SOFT TOP"

    Maybe not killed, but I almost got taken out while riding to school this evening. Normally I avoid driving to school, it's a 35 mile ride, nothing significant, but at 6pm, driving from the suburbs to the upper east side of manhattan can be a real trip. Normally, I ride my pedal bike to the...

    Two Brothers Exhaust question?

    Agreed. There's not a huge change, but there's definitely a small difference. I think they market as 2-4db a piece....so 5-10 db drop isn't bad.

    Along came a spider....

    in a similar vein, last night i ran across one of these driving along west 11th st in New York City. Guy was rolling with a gallardo too...not too shabby. Looks like a pretty fun toy, but it almost makes me say, why?

    Post your FZ6N Pics!

    that semi matte wouldn't be too bad....if it didnt have all that chrome. I always find that the matte and flat color scheme ends up looking unfinished more than anything else.

    Two Brothers Exhaust Installed!

    Haha, notice the lack of plates. the engine's toasted. the block is maybe salvageable, as is the head, but everyhting else is junk now. And as to which FE kit, the two bros comes with it's own FE, which comes black, and with the smaller, clear turns

    Two Brothers Exhaust Installed!

    It arrived on saturday, although I didn't have time to install. Sunday came around, and I went right to work. Soon thereafter, I ended up with a gorgeous FE, and carbon canister set! By the way it sounds amazing! So deep, almost too loud, but not quite. Very happy with the fit/finish, as...

    a small tease

    the fork clamps are on their way from Flyncycle.com deluxe fork mounts, with 41mm rubber inserts, which i'll have to cut to fit the 43mm forks on the fz6. The signals mount right into the plastic that connects the headlight to its mounting bracket. Stock fz6 signals fit in perfectly, with...

    Which is faster?

    That's true, but keep in mind, there hasn't been an "official" motorcycle run at the ring since '94, when they discontinued all cycle contests there. Bikes have come a huge way in the 14 years, enhanced in every aspect. If a bike had the same time as a Porsche GT3 (2006 model), in 1994, then...
