Sucks that your going but I understand all to well that you have to be mobile in the world we live in today. I wish you the best and hope to meet up with you again one day soon.

I hope to make another bike night soon but most Thursdays I am traveling to Oklahoma to spend the weekend with the family.

Welcome ... this is a great group and I am sure you will find you fit right in. See ya next week.

So the official date I start work in Seagoville is the 29th of May.

The parts are painted and ready to be put back on the bike. I will post pictures after I get it all back together.

In about a month and a half or 2 months I will be back down and you can take the BMW for a spin and see how it feels without the limits of a demo day if you would like. Its a bit older than the stuff out now but it shouldn't be to far off what the new ones are like.

I agree but also disagree on this.

So do I.

I will have to look into it. Is it on the phone or computer?

Good luck!

You limited to one new bike per year or something?

Ya, depends on the week..... she tries to limit me to one dirt bike and one street bike. I still like my CBR, and my happy life....

Happy life is IMPORTANT!

I can see where the S1000 would need a -1/+2, being down on power it could use the help Trying hard to drum up that competition aren't you? :-| Honestly I did that because I figured I don't see the top of the limiter often and even with the -1/+2 I think I can hit it still. Plus when the rider weig...

Ok so I did go to a 520 on my bike. I also went -1 +2. I went with an AFAM rear sprocket and I think the 3D chain.

I forgot to look last night... If I can remember I will take a look at what I have on the bike now. Whatever it is seems to be doing just fine.

I'd let you twist the throttle on it, just be prepared to pony up deductible if you wad it up

Same goes for me.

I honestly have to side with Fixxer. Its not something we are going to notice on the street unless we are actually racing. That said I believe I went to 520 on the BMW but I will have to look to be sure (stupid cold weather state) lol.

I am sure some type of ride would be planned.

I cant wait to get back on a track. I haven't been to a trackday since I left Texas.

HA! I forgot how much I missed yall.

That is unless you remove the limiter which can be done in a couple of ways. I have not removed mine so 186 it is.

The reason I don't want to go white is that it shows every bit of bug guts and stuff... hard to keep clean. If I went with the hydro dip of CF or even the wrap of CF I would then slowly replace those parts with real CF. Might still happen that way if I go satin black. I will have to think it over so...

Still down!

ROFL ... You know im down. Dragstrip night?

So I am going to finally paint the white parts of my S1k. The paint has been peeling for a while and I have finally had enough. So I figure that since I am going to paint it I might as well change the color a little. I am debating between a satin black/matte black and CF look. Here are some pictures...

Just wanted to let yall know I will be moving back to Ft. Worth in a couple months. No date set yet but as soon as my work tells me my report date I will be sure to let yall know.

The higher compression the vehicle the more likely you could get pre-detonation with lower octane fuel. I am guessing that is what he is talking about but .... if your owners manual says 91 and you haven't done any mods then 91 should be just fine. I of course would run 93 just because its what I us...
