  1. That's funny, I've never seen it before.
  2. Not sure what pic you're talking about, I've never seen it. But you made me think of a slogan I saw once on the side of a septic tank pumpers truck "WE ARE #1 IN THE #2 BUSINESS"
  3. Sounds like somebody should be considering an outlaw frame and suspension setup.
  4. I think there may be somebody else that needs to be first, no movie star herself but somebody will have to play her in the movie when it comes out someday. I can't remember her name... something like a small mountain...nope it's not Monica...Oh well maybe somebody can help me out with this one.
  5. It
  6. I know it's not a Banshee but I'm looking for a rear basket for a Honda Spree. Shoot me a PM if you've got one to sell.
  7. I looked at one the other day, looks pretty sweet but the reviews from the guys at the shop are hands down that the 450 is the better machine. I wish they'd have let me ride it.
  8. Sweet deal there BFS, just don
  9. 1st gear hold the clutch in rev to WOT, dump the clutch and your good to go.
  10. My .02 is that if you don't have a bunch of money laying around don't buy a newer bike, it's stupid to buy something you can't afford just because it looks cool. And if your worried about power the best way to get power out of a bike is to turn the throttle and if you ride ledally all bikes will be decent. The R6 and GSXR 600 are more of a race bike than the F4i's. The '02 style F4i's are two seater style not the banana seat like the newer ones and they are every bit as fast as a 600RR, but they utilize a little different rpm ranges, seating angles, and suspension setup. The older F4's, F3's... are very streetable because they are carburated. A guy I work with (same one I bought my F4i from) used to race rockets up at brainerd, no expert but just enjoyed it he told me that when he took the F4i up there he never felt comfortable with it because of the power delivery but he also said I'd love it because I'm used to riding a two stroke with a snappier powerband and that's the thing the fuel injected bikes you notice every tiny little bit of throttle turn, I'm used to it when I'm by myself but when I throw the girl on back I can tell just how un-smooth I really am. I ride the bike everyday to work on busy interstate traffic roads up here in the twin cities, I work in downtown St. Paul. The F4i is the first motorcycle I've ever owned. I decided when I turned 25 that I'm passed all the stupid stuff that I dreamed of doing when I was younger. When looking I got a quote from Progressive for full coverage and it was $2400, I eventually went to state farm and got it for $280 a year which is pretty good with a $500 deductible and as the guy I bought it from who has a $50 deductible if you go down once it'll cover the deductible. He's dropped a few bikes in the past and state farm also covers your helmet you have to send it in to them to be crushed but when you drop $600 for a helmet it's a good idea to keep the receipt. If you get anything make sure you get a good helmet, jacket, gloves don't be a flipflop shorts and tank top rider you can always fix a bike but if you go down doing anything other than parking the bike you're going to fuck yourself up permanently if you even live.
  11. Maybe I'm an idiot but I thought most race shees ran a - swinger not a + unless you were dragging or a duner. Especially flat track would run a -.
  12. You can hit 107 with that gearing and those tires but you
  13. I think more states need to perform an audit. Take and take and never give back. It
  14. 1 gal = 3.785 Liters. I'm assuming you are buying it by the liter in which case it sucks to be you.
  15. I saw a news story last night about a guy who bought his gas on contract 3 years ago. Bought $3000 worth @ $0.98/gal. That bastard was laughing his ass off and showing his buddies his receipts. That was a smart move on his part though, claims he has over half of it left.
  16. Not true NYUK, if he was running slightly over 10,000 rpms using 26" rears he could do it.
  17. Sounds like your dad is fixin' to be the town hero of a jail cell. Glad you got your shee back, don't get too confident though those guys will probably try for some revenge.
  18. Looks fine to me, I was looking forward to a vacation too.
  19. Might be on the heavy side, you might think about having her drop 15-20lbs.

  21. I just saw the movie last night, I avoided this topic so I didn't go in expecting anythng. I truly went to see the car, the General Lee is an amazing machine. From the begining I was about to walk out when I first saw it it was missing something, (thought liberalism went too far) I gave it a chance and was very impressed by it later on. One thing that the show didn't need was the drastic language change from the original they aren't quite the good ole boys like they used to be. And what the hell was Rosco supposed to be? He's supposed to be the coo coo coo bumbling idiot. Willie didn't play Waylons part he played Waylon's song, Waylon was the Narator and theme song singer Not uncle Jesse (to clarify). I did like the "tribute" at the end that was a nice touch. I honestly thought Jessica did a fairly decent job acting compared to the other actors, she does fit the part with the exception of being blonde. She was looking dang good.... One thing to remember the original TV show wasn't the best actors in the world either. And also family came first to the dukes before anything even girls. It all comes down to the car in my book and they did some great Dukes stunts and really made it look impressive. I give it a thumbs up, without the car being so awesome it would have only been an OK movie. Oh and mentioned above what the hell were they thinking with the new Charger????
