LA, Kirk, thanks. IMHO as long as a cop uses his discretion in the same way with a fellow cop that he uses it with civilians, that's fair. As you know, we have a cop over on LAbusas who's just a tiny bit of a criminal in that regard.

Kirk...Rogue poses an interesting question. Do you actually get let off moving violation tickets just by showing your credentials? If so, how do you feel about that, and to what extend does this professional immunity apply?

The bike's in now to get the problem diagnosed and sorted. I'll run again right away. No LED flashing.

OK I promised so here it is. I am not happy weith the way things went down, but here is a private conversation with a fellow board member, Malcolm, who is an accomplished drag racer. You have to read the coversation bottom to top. As you can see, I ran the same time as Maui despite having 25...

Valk, this is all wishful thinking. If you want different colored gauges, you have to pay the horrendous hellacious price. And, with all respect, I have to say that if you can read black gauges, you're boulevard cruising. Boulevard cruising is cool, too. Some of my best friends are...

Yeah NN, I'll report back no matter how embarrassing the results may be. I'll post my slips. FRANK: I'll be doing all the tricks you taught me.

Frank...9.12 is a thing of beauty. Frame that slip. Congratulations. I'm dragging tomorrow for the first time this year.

SLOWHAND yes I am: That the gauges are a very pretty accessory, but some serious noggin time, carefully weighing materials employed in their manufacturing process vs their staggering retail price, must be applied against one's ultimate purchase decision.

Being able to read your gauges at a glance when you're hell bent for leather is worth a lot more than $100. I went yellow. Now I don't have to look down and concentrate to absorb info from stupid black gauges. I glance and I understand. The money you put into your personal performance is much...

Omega I've only just now been able to get the 42 tooth Tough Hardened aluminum that I wanted. It was mailed from Sprocket Specialties in California last Thursday ($61) and postman willing it will be in my bike later this week. I'll let you know how it goes with the 16 front for me. Whether or...

I'm a believer.

Good thread. Nick recently I dyno tuned my bike and got an extra 6 rwhp (plus a fatter mid and smoother bottom) just by dropping in the 007HARV map and then tweaking it a little. When I told my tuner, a guy who plays the DynoJet system like a concert pianist, that I wanted to try both 007HARV...

"Hypocrite," Maui? The word is "spineless." You're just too much of a gentleman to say it.

The psychographics of the 2 sites divide us cleanly and naturally into one camp or the other. But I'm pretty sure that if a .ORG type saw an obviously LAbusas type stranded beside the road on his bike, he'd stop and do whatever it took to help. I know I would.

CanuckBusa you're 100% right. You people are mature and we at LAbusas are not. Can you understand why we might not want to "mature?" My Mom named be after Peter Pan. Peter Pan's song is "I won't grow up, I won't grow up, I don't wanna go to school, I don't wanna got to school, I will be a kid...
