    Fast Lady

    I guess that's cool. Going fast in a straight line has never impressed me though. Same thing with drag racing, be it cars or bikes. Does it take some skill? Sure, knowning when to shift and throttle control.. but honestly even Nascar's big ovals takes more skill than going in a straight line...

    The most courageous soldier you'll ever see.

    Hah maybe it's incentive to not be worried about getting shot at. I mean honestly is it worth going home? LoL

    Physics of Speed Bumps

    If I can't go around the speed bump I stand up off the seat let my legs absorb the impact (don't lock your knees). Same with any kind of hard object, or hard drop off in the road I can't avoid.. maybe left overs from riding off road.

    Don't eat at McDonald's on South West Marine Drive in Vancouver

    Having worked in various fast food joints in various cities and states in my younger years mI can tell you McDonalds is no different than any of the others when it comes to actually maintaining employee hygeine standards. That is to say very few employees wash thier hands at all.. let alone...

    First time on the highway

    Yeah it's one of those hindsight things hah. Going fast inherintly seems like it should be more dangerous.. until you realize that you don't have to watch every sideroad and stop light and stop sign hoping a hemi doesn't fly from behind a building to squash you. Highway traffic tends to be much...

    Does Anyone Or Has Anyone Ever Used A solar battery charger on their Motorcycle ??

    Hmm the application is intriguing.. but is it really needed? How often does your battery go dead from being drained on a bike? Unless you do something silly like forget to unplug heated grips or gps or something like that.. not sure a solar panel would help with that or not. On a boat I can see...

    First time on the highway

    Heh yeah I avoided the highways for a few hundred miles around here people are insane. Pretty much impossible to get from one side of town to the other without riding on a highway or interstate though. When going any real distance I ride tank to tank no reason to stop between really. 200miles...

    Pic's of my neck and back surgery VERY GRAFICK

    Man I"ve seen some nasty Brown Recluse bites, and some camel spider bites. I thought those looked vicious, but what you got there is pretty bad. Good to hear you're on the road to recovery. Scary stuff man.

    Removing triple tree and rearsets

    I dunno when I had to replace mine there was No way at all to remove the bolt from the ignition. It wasn't a Torx or anything. Maybe mine was special :thumbup:

    Removing triple tree and rearsets

    You can't.. "remove" the ignition. It's got a mushroom head top that's machine pressed in. You have to drimel it off. PITA. The rear sets are easy enough. Just a couple bolts and some manuvering around the brake and shift rods. Some people have left the rubber grommits in while powercoating...

    Rock Band!

    The newest Guitar Hero.. World Tour = Rock Band. Has all the instruments and such and the songs are pretty good. All originals. The drums are a bit more involved than Rockband as they have actual symbols, and a whole extra button. The bass is alot better as well. The guitar parts are alot easier...

    R6 Fork Swap Question

    The following post is based upon memory.. take it at face value until I find the info... I'm searching for a post on the other forum I know someone tried this I think and for some reason I want to say the FZ6 stem is a bit longer than the R6. They ended up pressing the stem out and pressing...

    Signed up for my first trackday! Hellz Yeahz

    An extra pair of underroo's for when you go too hot into that corner with cold tires... :thumbup: Removing your sideside maybe? And the ever important ducttape, electrical tape, and safety wire. If it can't be fixed with that you might as well total it out hah.
