  1. Finally Got my 5th Gen 4 Oct 2011 02:49 Beautiful! Congratulations!
  2. Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) 15 Mar 2011 04:10 If you need to search other wheel options in order to run bike tires (don't do the car tire thing those Goldwing guys recommend...corners are just too much fun on a VFR) check www.myboltpattern.com I just discovered…
  3. Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) 15 Mar 2011 04:06 I actually recognize that car wheel; it's a Motegi tuner wheel...weighs about 18 lbs. if I remember correctly. I'm sure you could find out on tirerack.com Good find and good luck!
  4. vtec v ninja 1000 test ride 29 Jan 2011 06:17 [quote name='RED RUNNER' timestamp='1296152780' post='757327'] the 7th gen is a wholly different animal. Less of a "toy." I doubt anyone buys a 7th gen on a whim. They know what they want, they know what they're buying.…
  5. Twists and Leans: Trusting your Tires... How did you do it? 22 Jan 2011 03:43 All newbs (only encouragement and love intended)should be encouraged to beg, borrow or steal a dirtbike, ride the wheels off it everywhere then focus on gravel (forest service/logging road/powerline maintenance roads,…
  6. Turning left VS's turning right 22 Jan 2011 01:07 We all know what happens coming into a turn too hot...you go wide. Going wide on a right turn means a trip to the wrong side of the yellow line; scarey stuff! Now left turns, the faster the better!
  7. Where to retire? 30 Nov 2010 00:18 [image: View Post]rufussrgnt, on 29 November 2010 - 06:57 PM, said: As an added bonus if you are an idiot, you don't have to wear a helmet in SC. Speaking of which, do any VFR riders ride without helmets? Were you…
  8. Time to pack it in. 2 Nov 2010 05:25 37 years is a good run, you've obviously thought this decision through and chosen your priority...your "retirement" is well deserved my friend. Good luck and live both long and well.
  9. Motorcycling Retirement Threads 2 Nov 2010 05:18 Jaime, We've talked a time or two and I always enjoy reading your posts. It's obvious you love our sport. It's also obvious that you see it as a sport, not a past-time, not as a method of transportation. Your head is on…
  10. 5th Gen front brake lever "sag" 20 Oct 2010 21:30 I have bled the brakes using the factory prescribed method using both a vac pump and then re-doing with the crack-the-bleeder-and-squeeze-then-tighten-bleeder-then-release-lever method as well. At 50K the first question…
  11. Front End Shake 20 Aug 2010 04:47 While I agree with the bearing concensus, I've had a remarkably abnormal amount of headshake experience on many different bikes which came to me with a Dunlop. Needless to say, Dunlops are never retained long on my new…
  12. Why does everything slow down when you have a wreck? 18 Aug 2010 03:48 Wow, the last time I crashed a dirt bike, a fairly common occurrence, it happened to be a really TALL one and I vividly remember in the split second it took to get from the seat to the ground thinking, "this is gonna…
  13. Ok Pirelli Angel Owners 21 Jul 2010 05:35 [image: View Post]hoss8640, on 21 July 2010 - 12:02 AM, said: Just ordered a set of the Angels for my 5th Gen. What are the general thoughts on these tires? I don't ride hard and commute alot but am planning on doing a…
