I'm off till March :laugh: Had a great ride today in the Texas hill country with several other riders from the area

Just bought a set from smithabusa :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, I'm switching back to a stock swingarm soon, so I'll go ahead and replace those bushings then :beerchug:

Hey all, I was just wondering how much play the rear sprocket should have (if any) when attached to the rear wheel. I noticed yesterday that I've got a bit of play on mine, probably 1/4". Does that mean my rubber bushings inside the sprocket need to be replaced, or is this normal...

That's one high speed track! Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

It was a sloppy game, but a close one! Good for Auburn :thumbsup:

@Johnny I think next week it's supposed to get warm again. I'll swing by and check it out sometime then. Thanks! @notright Whenever you're back let me know man, I'll be here :thumbsup:

I know a lot of people don't post in here, but I just moved into downtown Austin and I'm looking for people to ride with. I don't just want to cruise the drag at 30mph revving my engine, but actually go out at ride the hill country :laugh: If anybody actually looks at this part of the .org from...

I'm a marine engineer. Ya know those big ships on the discovery channel? yup, those are what I work on haha. I'm gone for 4 months at a time, but I'm on a 4 month break at the moment and loving life (I work 4 months on and then 4 months off)

No pun intended :laugh:

I think the faster you are, the more controlled your lean will be due to the gyro effect. You can still get the same lean angle at slower speeds, but your turning radius will be smaller. Pashnit, I've watched that video more times than I can count and still love it! I just got a GoProHD so...

Ok, I just did a bit of research on this "shervin" guy on the zx-10 forum. Here is his flickr album. You just can't make this crap up! hahaha :rofl: I've been going through his pictures for the last hour :laugh: 129 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Agreed, that was a great post. I never really think about it and just do what is comfortable, which for me is pointer and index for the brake, all 4 for the clutch.

Yea Skoot, after they dragged I figured I had used the whole tire but when I looked at them afterwards I still had another 1/2" until the edge of the tread (using Dunlop Q2's). Next time I go out (hopefully tomorrow!) I'll drag more than just one for ya! :thumbsup:

I know this probably isn't that big of a deal with most riders here, but today I finally did it! I was initially trying to drag my knees on a country back road going about 70, but after doing research and realizing it could be done at slower speeds, I took my attempts to a large open...
