Linux System Administrator and backup admin. Been in IT for 18+ years and I'm tired of it...Not sure what else I want to do, though. And the money doesn't suck.

Cable routing Hopefully someone will see this. Got the SMH10R and am wondering how you routed the cables coming out of the control unit. I've got an Arai RX-Q and figured out a way to get the speakers mounted, but I just can't figure out a good way to route/hide the other cables. Any help...

It happened so fast both times, I'm not sure what I was doing. Now that you mention the front brake, it's entirely possible I had a firm grasp on it when I rolled the throttle. Good thing to know for the future.

Apparently I can't make a slow, left-hand turn with both feet on the ground. Dumped the bike twice and each time, that's what I was doing. Basically a walking left-hand turn and WHAM! down goes the bike and me.

Thanks JT. I'll do that.

Just listened to the MistahT video on Marthy's site...what kind of payments do you accept, Marty??? Aretha needs a new can, and I'm thinking Viper Racing can with DBKiller. It sounds awesome!

My bad, nismos. I do try and rev match on both, but especially the bike. I've read that not rev matching can cause the rear wheel to spin, and that's something I want to avoid. :D

I'm glad I read through this thread because I appear to do it a little differently...I roll off the throttle, clutch, then usually double-tap the shifter down 2 gears, then slowly release the clutch. I think this habit comes from driving a car with a manual tranny because I'd usually go from...

There was a group deal a few months ago on the Two Brothers Exhaust and a Power Commander...any chance of getting something like that again? Not sure how to go about it so I thought I'd ask. If this is the wrong place to put this, sorry...seemed like the logical place.

No wonder my bike whimpers when I get on...bumping up to 5 to see what happens.

I salute you, Sir. That was some funny stuff...think you could go back and translate some of it?

I decided to lower the bike so I bought the parts from a local place and made an appointment to have them do the work. Problem was, they couldn't do it until the 29th of this month...and I got the parts at the end of April. Patience has never been a virtue of mine. Asked a friend if he knew...

Picked her up from my mechanic friend who installed the Roaring Toyz lowering link, Roaring Toyz kickstand, and Intuitive frame sliders. And then we went on our first night ride. Great way to end the day.

Thought it was just me. Glad to know it ain't. :D

CC, it's funny you mention this because I had the same thought the other night about tuition increases and student loans. I kept thinking, "The cost of tuition increases, but where does the money go? Salaries for professors? Facilities? Sports? Salaries for administrators?" Costs are certainly...

I trailered my bike home the first time. Sales guy was nice enough to loan me one of the ATV trailers they sold and then tied the bike down for me. If you can do that, I highly recommend it, especially if you're not used to riding it. If that's not an option then I agree with everyone...

Glad you're doing ok...and like my grandma used to say, "People suck".

Here are the pics...

Oops...sorry about that. Will post them when I get home this evening.
