  1. There's a lot of that going around.

    Oilpan Removal

    If only there was some sort of book that contained all the information a person would need to know in order to accomplish specific mechanical tasks....
  3. I don't think I need another key-off current drain, but otherwise it sounds nifty.

    FJR too tall

    It is indeed wider, but Corbin will make a narrow version if you order the seat directly from them. They call it a "nose job".

    The Force is not strong with your friend.
  6. I like the Micron on my new bike.
  7. Go pound sand. You're just mad because he called you out on being a pansy-assed motherfucker. Don't be such a little bitch.
  8. That's quite a generalization. The best tires I've ever had on my Impala, bar none, are the Bridgestone RE730. By all specs, they are an unimpressive tire model, but they stuck like glue in any weather, and they endured all manner of high speed abuse. They wore out fast, though, because they were a very soft rubber -- too soft, apparently, because Bridgestone had already replaced them with the comparatively underwhelming RE750 by the time I went to buy my second set.

    Tire mystery

    I think it was pretty clearly implied that I left town on my FJR on a cross country trip last Thursday while leaving the Honda behind. Did not know I was writing a legal brief but I guess I should have explained more directly that I cannot be in two places at once, no matter how fast my FJR is. You're right, I shouldn't have left you an out. Forgive me, it was a moment of weakness. You should expect to take some flack for calling the dealer to pick up your bike because the tire is flat.

    Tire mystery

    Every time I have new tires installed on my Impala, I run them enough to scratch the "new" off them, and then find a parking lot and do a series of dry-pavement-engage-the-ABS stops. Still, you should expect to take some flack for that, especially without mentioning that you were away at the time.
  12. These two statements contradict each other.
  13. Ouch. I had one of those, and my ears cringe thinking about it. Being a child of the 80's, I love that sound. A Kerker or V&H on a inline four is a sweet sound. A KZ 750 with a Kerker is like sex on a stick. Buy it, Todd, and we'll turn it into a drag-trike.
  14. Is that the new Vatican-based electronic funds transfer service?
  15. The street is not the track. Don't risk others' lives (or yours) pretending it is.
  16. I'd refuse to help -- some things are just a bad idea. Tell him to go buy a Windbender.

    Hard Luggage

    Yes, as long as you don't care what it looks like. I like the Corbin beetle bags, myself. Form over function and they're still fuckin' ugly= fail. Nonsense. They look like the bike should have had them from the factory.

  19. Right hand. If it was easy, everyone would be able to do it. And it's 180 mph on the FI bikes with the exception of the '01s, in which case it's 206mph and you have to shift with your right foot. Fuggin' newbs.... Why do you waste your time? If they can't be bothered to RTFM, fuck 'em.
  20. Those wheels are just trying to pay their way through medical school.
  21. Which means they didn't, because the whole point was that they were supposedly a radical departure from traditional performance exhaust systems.
