Thank God for anti-virus software. A friend sent me an email with this virus and I tried to open it. I had not heard about this one yet and I usually trust his e-mails. Well luckily Inoculan detected the virus and killed it.

Okay, not to sound wrong but I don't get it. Here in Austin the cheapest I have found is $1200/year for full coverage w/500 ded. and no pip or medpay. That is with State Farm. Guys make sure your agent knows the bike is a sport bike because they can deny a claim if the policy is not written...

Valklex, it is really easy to install the LP rear turn signals. They bolt in the stock location. You need to remove the rear cowling, watch out for the two phillips screws as sometimes they are cross threaded. The signals have little grey plugs that I cut off of the stock signals and soldered...

Cheesypoof, How about this Friday? I would be willing to go up to TAD for the Test and Tune.

Sorry to hear about your friend, hope he recovers completely. I have 2 stories to tell. 1 about helmets the other about jackets. I crashed my ZX-7 in a parking lot doing about 10mph a few years back. I went up a curb and tried to control the bike coming down the other side. The front tucked...

Has anybody seen the June 2000 issue of Motorcyclist where they compared the Blackbird, ZX12 and Busa? They liked the 12 but placed it 2nd to the Busa. They complained about the fit and finish and the uncomfortable seat. They said it handled well and had great brakes. However, they were very...

Thanks for bringing this up again. I bought Lockhart clear signals for the rear. They are about half the size of the stock signals and look really good on the bike. They are only $16 and come with the yellow bulbs. Just order some extra bulbs as I can not find them anywhere local. Now if we...

Hey, stop trying to steal JC away from Central Texas. Get your own wrench.

If so, e-mail me at gdavis23@csc.com, I have a ?

A lot of the Mustang guys have run them and they say that the Gtech is very consistent but is usually about .2 quicker on the et than the clocks at the strip. I think it would be a good tool to measure performance gains. Especially if used in say 4th gear where you could baseline the bike...

DP, I was just giving the Cheeseman some grief because I know him personally and he needs some good ribbing the way he lays into Fassuzuki all the time. They work together and act like they are married or something. You are right about saying that someones writing skills has nothing to do with...

Pep Boys sells a complete safety torx set for $20. I bought it for my car and am glad I did now since I will be working on the Bus in the future. I am pretty sure Sears carries them as well.

I forgot to check my decals BEFORE I REMOVED THEM. The bike looks a lot better with them removed. [This message has been edited by vortech347 (edited 30 March 2000).]

So what is Johnnycheese's excuse. I guess dumb motorcycle mechanics can't spell, hehe.
