    How long do you keep your motorcycles?

    I picked 7-10 because that's my average. It all depends on the bike and how much I like it. I loved my RSV4s but I found them punishing to ride in my early 50s and move them along (but I still have the track RSV4). I had my Tuono for 16 seasons, I loved that thing! So when I decided to...

    Coffee

    I've been drinking tech company coffee for more than 30 years. I drink it black and if I have to, cold. Y'all fancy.

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    Now, that's some dangerous riding. Those things are lethal.

    Marinating Steak

    Salt, pepper, I like a touch (seriously just a sprinkle) of Garam Masala sometimes, cook it medium rare. I won't buy any cuts less good than Top Sirloin personally, so if you're buying flank steaks, then you're definitely going to want to marinate them in something. If I have to, it's a bit...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    I too have done that, but as a child. Good times. Excellent fishing, too on the upper Rideau. That river is *deep*. 28' with flydeck, in my dad's case. Of course the upper controls never seemed to work right (it's a boat, remember). Before I had the Predictor, I had a 1958 Century...

    Any 2 stroke gurus??

    Has to be, if the clutch is working even a little, it should spin the track with any throttle. But he didn't 100% specify, so fair question. It shouldn't matter, if the clutch has spun back to its low speed position, the belt should be low in the PTO clutch, high in the secondary and final...

    Any 2 stroke gurus??

    A compression test won't tell you much about the bottom end seals, just turning over the motor at least. Just use the old practice of running it and brushing something over the seals (as much as you can get to) that will bubble or get sucked in if there's a leak. You can also try spraying...

    Share your fondest memory of motorcycling

    A GSX-R 600, formerly owned by Brett McCormick (I bought it from Eric Fiset). Good times. I ended up in 3rd in Supersport, same two missed races and one crash trying to defend first place from Mike Hood (who immediately also crashed into the front wall, sadly for him). If I hadn't given up a...

    Share your fondest memory of motorcycling

    Just too many to list. As of next spring, I will have been riding for 50 years (with some breaks in between). I'll list just a few: * jumping a rail intersection on my IT 250 to launch well over 15 feet up and maybe 80 feet out * doing 70mph wheelies in top gear on my KX 420 (what a lemon they...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    The lack of interest is strange but I also found that. Maybe because I last had an 80mph boat (checkmate predictor, 150hp mariner magnum II with reeds and head port) and it's ... challenging to not be the throttle man on a boat like that, lol Guys like you and I are built different. What...

    Pro 6 Cycle closing the storefront

    I dealt with them many times. I have no complaints, other than that they didn't work for free. :ROFLMAO:

    Pro 6 Cycle closing the storefront

    If I take it before the snow flies, they can have it until March for all I care. I'm at the point at which preventative maintenance will keep my V4 together. 2016-ish bikes are known for valves going out of spec early in life and then either destroying an engine or ... you get them adjusted...

    Pro 6 Cycle closing the storefront

    That's a bummer, I was going to ask them if they do Aprilia V4 valve checks/adjustment. Now I've got to figure out where I can trust to do real engine work.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Added a 1000W QSC KW181 18" subwoofer to my setup. This thing isn't loud, it's neighborhood rock show loud, which is perfect because this isn't just my workshop setup, the Class-D 980W heads and 1000W subwoofer will do a medium-sized outdoor show (hundreds of people at minimum) for our band/s...

    ADV Racing! LOL!

    Why not? They race dumptrucks, buses and even tractor trailers.

    Daily sports car?

    Yeah I watched this. My conclusion: to have another roughly 600hp (real, based on dyno plots these new ZR1s generate) and barely edge out the GT3 RS is a significant eye-opener. Imagine how much more alive that GT3 must feel in corners, and the level of accuracy the chassis and drivetrain...

    Anyone else becoming more reclusive?

    True. I had to ban two hardcore Liberal acquaintances that flat-out just made up a fictional reality of their own and wouldn't stop trying to impose it endlessly on me, replete with "apparent" facts that they could never source (and never did). Once I did that, I noticed a lot less stress in...
