New Machine???

Those bikes don't look near as cold as I remember <BMFG>

That is a great improvement! I see an 11 in your future! Its impressive how close the times are. Keep up the great work!

Had a great time guys- thanks for letting me tag along. Next time I'll bring oil, fluids, plugs, and filters, so Jeff can work on my bike too! <BMFG> I just wish we had done this in like May so we had a bunch more rids in front of us!

Every time I go to "bike Night" I see thousands of Harley's that cost about a zillion dollars each. And each one of those Harleys has thousands of dollars worth of (mostly chrome) add on to make them stand out from the other Harleys. And about half have "performance mods" My Max is...

I think it has to do with the cost of the bike and the type of people that own them. While all of us woud simply replace a taillight bulb, a lt of guys that have BMWs might thake it to the dealership. Same goes for something shaking loose. With the service call (at a BMW or Harley Dealer)...

I will sure try to meet up with you guys... I've only got in on one ride this whole year! Now if I can remember where that key is...

When the Madura came out my street bike was a '83 GS1100 ES. Mine shared parts with my Drag bike and had an extended swing arm. in '84 they brought out the GS1150. THis was a totally new bike with a square tube frame and mono shock. They were long but heavy and there was not much that came...

When I was Racing Suzukis the Dealership had a few. They didn't sell well at all. They were supposed to be 11.50 bikes but a good 750 could beat them at the strip. Most of the ones the Dealership sold where sold after they were discontinued- like '85 bikes in '87 type of thing. I never...

Most bikes are made on one of 2 frame types. The "road race" type frame that normally has the rams horn type bars. And the "mountain bike" frame style. Both of these frames are intended for the rider to lean forward. Most "touring" bikes are normally based on the road race type frame. Most...

I think you wil find that those "holes" will take the 12 powersupplies that are used for charging from the "lighter" socket in cars. Check out how it is wired... If it does NOT go thru the switch, you can use it to plug in your battery tender for the winter. BTW, I bought my Vmax after...

I'm 6' and 300+ I gave Sean that info and be build the seat for me. At first I loved the looks, by was not so sure about the feel. Well that just getting used to something because I have spent some long rides on the stock seat. I love my seat now. An all morning ride up to Travis City and...

My opinion is that you forgot the link

That is outstanding! When are you going to start on the V4 version??? BTW, I have done more then a few steam engines abd they never looked as good as those!

WOW! Who did they get to drive it...Kenny Roberts? (BMFG)

#1... My view on this is based on a LOT of street racing in the old days. I used to "go Woodwarding" when I was younger. We did a lot of racing on Woodward, but most people don't mention all the racing we did on less busy roads not far away. At any rate, I saw about a Zillion guys back off...

While you are working on launches, here is something you might want to try... Pre stage, bring the RPMs up to 4000, ease out the clutch until you have to hold the bike from rolling and and roll in (still at 4000- but you have to "hear" that 4000 as you are watching the lights) When the last...

Next time post your 60ft times. I think these are great times for "first runs". next time rent a trailer so you can try lower rear tire pressures. If you don't already have one, get a shift light so you don't kill your self looking at that so called tach. Shaft drive bikes like a bit...

I have been using an O Neil that came with the Blinc 3 blue tooth system. I bought this so I could listen to my jams. I like it. I can hear my music up to 80mph. The quality of tge speakers is not that good, but you can replace those if you want. The problem is that there is very little air...
