Lucas, just plugged the numbers into the old excel gearing matrix...stock (17/40) goes like this: 1st- 75.98, 2nd- 102.58, 3rd- 130.20, 4th- 154.62, 5th- 174.90, 6th- 186 electronically limited, 190.50 not. with 17/43...1st- 70.68, 2nd- 95.42, 3rd- 121.12, 4th- 143.83, 5th- 162.70, 6th-...

may have nothing to do with actual hp...however, your "butt dyno" will record an amazing difference in acceleration! If you thought 1st was an unusable gear before, get ready for this one....just be careful until you get use to the change. I went 17/42, that was enough for me. Another fun fact...

with any chain tool, grind the rivet heads off smooth before you try to push the rivets through. will make the job much easier and save your tool. I use my dremel to grind the heads off the rivets and use a pro-motion jumbo chain tool for the rest.....makes the repair a snap.

Personal policy, I won't even ride with folks not properly geared up. You all go ahead....imo, it makes the person look like a novice. That, and the fact I don't want to have to witness the result of a no-gear crash with the obvious knowlege the results could have been way different.

137 in a 55, cop wrote me for 97 because I pulled over. Also so he didn't have to take me straight to jail. Ticket was a mandatory appearence.....90 days in jail, 85 suspended, 5 days community service, $497 in fines, 60 day restricted license. You can find my beloved, pristine 03' on ebay right...

I'll be up there by noon or so.

I should have taken the first hint: the clerk was selling little packs of vaseline at the window just inside the main door....I thought someone had a rash or there was an outbreak of poison ivy in the town....I haven't been able to sit down since the court night. Live and learn.....

Oh, I tried to call the court and pay the fine without going, they said mandatory appearance required.....that's when I knew I was screwed. Leo wasn't there, this was just an arrangment. If I would have pleaded innocent, he would have been at the trail, pissed off he didn't leave the 137 on the...

Oh, no...not looking for any pity, I was guilty as hell. This whole thing started about a month ago, short version: wife and kids at track meet, I find myself with a hall pass. Jump on the bike for a quick ride on an absolutely purrrrfect late afternoon. Normal route, diff is I usually ride it...

For those of you that wondered about the rest of my speeding ticket saga....went to court last night in the big city of West Fork, Ar.... the judge ripped my face off, he was red-faced and PISSED. After a 5 minute rant he proceeds to tell me he thinks 10 days in jail is in order, I about hit the...

Don't buy from Citgo, Chavez has taken over all the oil companies and is probably peeing in the tanks.....

moon is off Friday & Saturday, ready to ride.....tell me what direction or type of side-rides you all want and we're off. Just checked the weather, high 70's to low 80's, diminished chance of rain for Friday and Saturday. Should be ideal riding conditions. Early am rides, no bugs to speak...

M3's, hands down.....
