    Ram 1500 Eco Diesel Review

    I did a kitchen for a fellow who is from Switzerland and now lives here- he loves everything euro diesel. He owns a crane and hydraulic custom build and service company, and he services the entire province and drives alot. He sold a Sprinter LWB 3500 with a raised roof that had 600,000 kms, and...

    EcoBoost truck engine, whats the deal?

    This is 100% right- the onboards are always off. My wife's car is too. Reset the tripmeter- count the litres each fillup.

    EcoBoost truck engine, whats the deal?

    Wow! My 3500 EXT wheelbase van must be great on fuel in comparisson....even with 4:10 final drive. Torque converter stays locked up over 78kmh, uphill, and sometimes even towing. I think that is a key to economy. 650 kms of mixed hwy and city takes about 90 L to re- fill. = 13.8 L/100 km If I am...

    GIVI alternative sid cases for a 2013 ER6N???

    S&W Mototech racks.....much more attractive than Givis, and super easy to remove with 1/4 turn fasteners when you don't want them on the bike, leaving almost no trace of themselves. Pelican cases.....cheap alternative to Pelican is Seahorse. Although I like alloy ones like Trax, they are very...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    Good point Kellen . True I was assuming that the bikes would add up-I didn't consider anyone dropping out. Tim, your point back then was that TMP and GBM were small enough tracks that a big bike didn't have much advantage as shown by Amzy , Will, Aubrey and Mitch etc, so why not allow 1000's...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    Tim. Yup I did say the 2 yr newer bike makes LITTLE difference. By adding the word LITTLE instead of NO, I plainly stated that there is an advantage.......but again, there's that word LITTLE. A newer bike has advantages, And I of course agrred with that by stating that my much older one was at a...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    This!....and as TJ and Ty and Jim aluded to, There's this. I personally, would gladly accept being stuck at a small mechanical disadvantage to help create the potential for full grids. By choice my first racebike was at a big disadvantage( so of course I may be alone or rare in this type of...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    I guess my motivation for racing in Lost Era was to race the bikes I loved and wished I had when I was younger. I didn't want to have to buy a new bike every 3 yrs. I signed up and knew I was gonna race in Lost Era, even before I had the bike, and even when I began, I didn't bring a bike nearly...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    exactly....so you got my point Tim. I am saying Ty still won on the slower, less sophisticated bike. The bike means alot less than the rider....so why is everyone so up in arms about minor differences in bikes allowed in a class? A rider on an 03 R6 could easily beat a rider on an 05 CBR 600...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    Tyler's R1 is what I was talking about. He won Nov SBK. Doug's and TJ's bikes slaughter it in a straight line.......as does PAulo's , Jeff's and some of the BMW's too. Plainly seen. In fact I would wager that Ty had the slowest bike regularly gridded in NOv SBK My point is this- Do you really...

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    I can't see why anyone would care, if it makes the grids larger. I made $1500 LESS contingency money in 2014, than I did in 2013. Know why? Grid size. Last yr, I didn't see even one person in Lost Era protesting 2004 Kawi 636's that were gridded up...so what's everyone's panties in a bunch about?

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    It's SOAR- do you really think anyone would protest a child on a smalll single, in a class that allows 60 hp RZ 350s and FZR400's? Never seen it happen.

    SOAR & RACE make big announcement at motorcycle supershow !?

    The people squawking most in this thread about rule changes, are the ones who didn't even commit to making all of the SOAR rounds last yr. I will come if it doesn't rain I will come if there is a timing system I will come if we don't do a reverse layout I will come if the rules never change I...

    Why isn't this officer charged with perjury?

    My point wasn't whether the evidence was admissable or not. It should have opened up an entirely new case where the cop was charged for perjury.......cops aren't allowed to lie on the stand whenever they want- which case he was lying about wasn't the issue at all. And then the hooker ends up in...

    Why isn't this officer charged with perjury?

    There was a case last yr in Chicago. A hooker got busted, and was offered a deal if she rolled on her pimp or dealer and agreed to testify-sumthin like that. She secretly recorded the police captain making her the deal, with her blackberry. Come the day of trial, she is called to witness stand...
