ouch - you definitely were hurting worse than I am. Thanks for the data point - makes it sound like there's a reasonable chance I'll be in ok shape by the trip given that I'm not starting where you were. Riding (at least the short trips) hasn't really been an issue pain wise and I think I'm...

Background - I'm about a week into recovering from a hard fall playing ice hockey which cracked one of my ribs - it's a wait for it to feel better kind of injury - typically about 6 weeks to full recovery. Deep breaths, coughing, etc are still pretty painful and it's really bad in the AM, gets...

One of my riding buddies was there on a borrowed CBR600, loaned to him by someone who showed up on one of those Harley's - going over for "motorcycle night" tomorrow to get the whole 1st person experience download

Another vote for a Harmony remote (whatever type suits your needs). I've had customizable remotes for over 10 years and nothing was easier to setup and use than the first Harmony I bought 5 years ago (a 510 I think). It's the only remote that my wife (and visitors to the house) have been able...

Sorry to hear about the fall - especially in the crappy weather today. Glad you're essentially ok. On possible lessons - you didn't happen to start doing your braking on one of the small metal covers in that patch did you? Would be bad coincidental timing and all that but that looks like the...

Others I've considered in that price range (although some would have high mileage to meet the price depending on what counts as high for you) Mini Cooper S Focus SVT Neon SRT-4 Acure RSX Type-S Acura TSX Older Audi TT Scion tC Acura TL Altima SE-R G35 Coupe RX-8

I guess I'd have to say 4runner out of your list since I just bought a Pathfinder which is basically the same thing (although mine was a little newer than what you were talking on the 4runner). For me this ended up as what's the most functional thing I was willing to tolerate type of decision...

My .02 - I echo that your rear pre-load is too high. A liter bike will make you faster - between the corners anyway. A liter bike with with a poorly setup suspension won't be any faster in the twisties than a 600 that's not sorted.

With a 1/2 lb of gouda and a 1/2 lb of butter couldn't you replace the sweet potatoes with, say, sawdust and it would still taste fantastic - j/k PS - hope you have your doc on speed dial if you eat like that all the time - but I'm all in for everything in moderation

I read the multiple threads on CO adjustment on this forum before adjusting mine - never took away that the difference between CO1 and CO2 was a fixed value (like 9) - just that CO2 was higher for the inside cylinders. Oh well - YMMV.

Where'd you get the 9 between CO1 and CO2? Seems like every one's factory settings are different and vary in absolute value as well difference between CO1 and CO2. Mine were -21 and 2 from the factory for instance.

I've got a pair of Sidi Strada Evo Air and have been happy with them for warmer temps given that they're pretty sturdy and while vented aren't an "air" boot. You can change your foot position to get more or less air in the vents. Sidi Strada Evo Air Boots - Read Reviews and Buy at...

For the wire of concern, one side of the connector has a pin, the other is empty (no pin/wire). You just have to connect the existing wire to ground.

You can do the adjustment with the connector open and the "extra" pin grounded provided you don't run the engine. Ground pin --> Key on, engine off --> enter diag --> adjust --> key off --> Remove ground--> reinstall connector --> try it out Note this means every adjustment you want to...

I voted they don't make me more visible and hopefully I'm walking the "not annoying my neighbors" side of the loud exhaust line. My one piece of evidence is that two weeks ago while accelerating to get out of an SUVs blind spot I had said SUV begin pulling over into my lane while I was...

Geez - I don't log in for a bit and look what happens - j/k. Seriously though that sucks but glad you're ok. If you're going to file a report the sooner the better IMO.

Welcome! I was the silver 04 at the pumps when you rolled in - glad you decided to check out the forum.

great pics John - thanks for shooting instead of riding on 17.

I voted "The chances of getting a ticket" which usually look like like #2 in reality.
