Sorry for your loss :( RIP Josh.

It was GREAT to see you last night Rob! Man I was so drunk by the time John left at midnight :D Front brakes are DONE!!! Just need to bleed them tonight... I am picking up the tires tomorrow and I`ll be able to ride it up and down the street by tomorrow evening! We're loading everything up on...

Hey Rob, they're going to let you ride the Triumph? bastard :D They would not let me ride any of the triples when I was on the market... John and I should be working on the bike either tonight or tomorrow, so if you want to come hang out and have dinner with us you are very welcome to...

Thanks bro! I am stoked about the whole thing! heh About your question: :rockon:

Thanks man! It is close to race time indeed... D-5!!!! We're going on Friday so I need to crank it out... and it's coming along... I just finished the plastics, except for securing the rear section, which is easy... The side and lower plastics were quite a bitch to match up, and the fit is...

Looks good, and super loud too :) Let us know when you get it!

:Flip: more progress! here is the updated list: 1 chain/sprockets: inspect/clean/adjust: DONE! 2 check battery: DONE! 3 drain fuel from tank DONE! 4 oil + filter change DONE! 5 replace all coolant hoses DONE! 6 replace fuel line DONE! 7 flush cooling system (use water wetter)...

Well part of the reasoning to get black is that the gas tank is black... and I don't want to repaint it... maybe I should do a Ducati red or something... red & black would look good :)

Good question! I would love to be able to do something fancy like the gixxer track bikes below, but since it'll eventually get dropped, I don't want to spend any money on the paintjob :) My friend who owns a hotrod shop is willing to do them all for $100... 1 color only...

Will do Rob, np! If you can take a day off, it`s going to be on Friday the 13th.... yeah, I know.... crazybiker: yeah, what Dako said! :) Cmayer31: you'll have a blast, but you'll also be pissed not to be able to ride!!! The track is indeed great to play with the SLR, but...

Yes, it's working great! Thanks again for the link man, it saved me quite a lot of $$ :) Talking about $$, check out what I am asking for all the OEM plastics + headlight unit: Basically, I am selling the parts for 30% cheaper than the Ron Ayers price... and the plastics are all in...

Looky what was delivered last night :cheer: Now I have to figure out how to mount everything (no instructions whatsoever lol).

Thank you all! I've been looking at the bikes a bit differently not because I plan to get rid of them, or to be extra careful riding them (that's been the case already), but because my mind's been full of motorcycle stuff for the past few weeks due to the track bike... I've been spending...

Thanks guys... John and I were dumbfounded when we heard the news... I had never had a friend die in a crash, and this just made it way too real too quickly for me... John knew him better than I did... it just plain sucks to loose such an awesome dude... he was one of these guys that instantly...

He was an awesome guy with a big heart and he was always genuinely friendly to everyone he met... he left a wife and 2 kids behind after low-siding and crashing against a guard rail on Saturday... I was shocked to hear the news... he was supposed to come with us to the track in a couple of...

New update after another productive weekend! Thanks Cali_Rider for all the help! We dropped the forks to replace the oil and re-packed the steering bearing (which needed it badly!)... The chain was also thoroughly cleaned (off the bike) and the master link was swapped with a new one...

Yes it is... I hear lots of good things about the Honda 1000cc v-twin...

Actually, I met a guy who has a few bikes up for Sale right now... - 04 CBR1000 with 7500 miles - 01 RC51 (not sure about the mileage) - 06 CBR600R with 2000 miles If anyone is interested, PM me and I`ll give you his phone number (you'd have to call him about prices, and he is located in...

The valve check was pretty straight forward, and made easy by the wide frame of the gixxer, which allows easy access... It was also quite helpful to have Cali_Rider there as a guide :D :rockon: (thanks John!). Here is my daughter doing my valves on the Buell :D

Quick update: - valve adjustment: done (no shims required) - new iridium spark plugs: done - chain and sprockets: cleaned Moving right along... still missing most parts from Ron Ayers... hopefully they get delivered this week...
