Looking into a sport bike , used & cheap for that major rush from time to time on a track. Found a Kaw ZX7R , '01 , 8k miles, new tires, chrome wheels, " no dents or crashes " per seller , $ 2,000.
Any experiences on this or suggestions ? :ummm:
After reading many many threads, I believe I need to change my main jets to 147.5 and shim my needles.
I have a 06 with 1200 miles, stock with the exception of a Marks 4-2 system and it runs ok. It does have a little bit of surging at around 3000-3500 RPM and feels a little flat on top. The...

Riding to work the other day and coming through a small town,, a lady coming towards me turns left right in front of me!! I was running about 40, and did (out of instinct) something I have done a million times on dirt bikes. I knew Ireally never thought I could avoid her, but knew I needed to...
Well I havent finished my complete setup for the 09 season with the use of the crossover delay box and linear accuator. I was only using the crossover delay to see if it was accurate. cables didnt come in till today for the throttle control.
The weather was nice here Friday in the 70's by the...
Took a 60 something mile ride to Baytown with my buddy Robert to see the NHRA Spring Nationals. Ashley Force Hood won the funny car event going over 306 mph. Karen Stoffer red lighted in the first round of the motorcycle event but ran the second fastest e.t. (at that time) ever on a bike 6.880...

If anyone wants to do some serious bracket racing load em up and bring what ya got out, but be sure you will be loaded up within the first 2 rounds if your lucky to get past the first round, but we have first round losers buy backs for suckers.
Anybody with railroading experience knows that when your on a stub track its supposed to be mark with a sign, also anytime the track ends abruptly there is supposed to be a visible red board, some sort of derail or stop, and usually a big pile of rocks behind the said track.

Me on the VMAX vs a CBR1000. Tight race!! This was my favorite race I've ever run! And I lost!! I ran a super nice guy named Chad. I was on my 1992 Yamaha Vmax. Chad was on his Honda CBR 1000. It was such a close race. I got him out of the hole and held him off until the last possible fractions...

Bike's a 99, all stock except for kerker 4 2 1. I did no front end strapping or any of that stuff, just got on the track and ran. Didn't even really do a burnout at all, did 1st time, but that's it. Started out running 2 back to back 7.6's with 1.9?? 60's. Then ran a 7.5 with another 1.9 60...
And no it wasn't a drag strip lol.
The Taupo tack here in NZ is a hopefull to be added to the MotoGP sooner or later so it's got a fair few corners and I took my Vmax out.
Got many compliments at how brave I was to be going out in the med fast group and actually keeping up. Managed to get my...
