** KNEE DRAGGERS UNITE ** Part VIII - I'm Stumped

[k1ckstand]

That looks yellow to me. Gold? I don't even know.

Honey? no homo of course

[Coolhandsluke]

two pics from my first race weekend of the season. My laptimes were down to within a few tenths of where they were at the end of last season, but apparently everyone else got more practice because I went down the order. Oh well, time to charge back up to the front.

Nice, regretting not going out there to check it out.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to kickblake again.

The only gripe I have with gsxr's is that they are very common and often associated with extreme squids, the kind who ride with a t shirt, shorts, and flip flops.

That is when I pull my best wheelies. And nothing beats that feeling of the wind blowing up your pants. I do ride within my limits when I am around other road users. If I am alone I will hoon around. I do not believe in putting other peoples lives in danger for your own pleasure.

I ride in shorts and tshirt often. I wear closed shoes though now. I will wear jeans, an enduro jacket and boots in winter. My legs will never fit in leathers. That feel when you played a forward in rugby...

[kickblake]

How much does an average track day cost? Do you put a lot of miles on your bike? Looks sick.

$150

About 100 miles per trackday, and I don't ride street at all

There was more spectators at that race than any other I've been to. I guess owing to the fact that it's the closest race to Houston.

not sure if troll post or not....

I get the whole "Not endangering anyone but self" portion of the squid argument, but what I don't get is why you have so much disregard for your own body. I've got to assume that the risk/reward is in gear's favor, no? So, besides an "I do what I want, when I want" sort of attitude, what is the reasoning behind going out in sandals, t-shirts, and shorts?

I'm a big fan of the new MV Agustas. Especially the F3 800

[fbreaker]

god damn it need a pair of leathers

for you brahs that say you dont ride street, do you mean canyon/mountains or do you still take your bike to get from point a to point b

Well there was also a memorial ride/chili cookoff for that deceased firefighter

Yea, apparently Bosslady tipped the news off to that fact too.

Not sheriff serious. I have 25" (63.5 cm) circumference thighs, and I fit in leathers.

Idk man, this gsxr looks pretty sex to me

I should have been more specific. I'm just talking about the headlights on the 11 years and up. Way too bulbous and wide. Not sharp at all like the older ones

[cunfewzed]

Agree. The GSXR's weakpoint has always been their ugly headlights. Can't stand them, but I think the rest of the bike is aesthetic.

I think they have the best and symmetrical headlights so you can go to heck!

Do you.love abstract art or sumtin?

lololol I don't think I like one headlight. I like two. I think R1's/R6's headlights are quite aesthetic as well as the aforementioned CBR's. I like symmetry. Symmetrical, dual headlight setups on sport-bikes are the GOAT.

[Galindo62]

Hmmm ok.

Post pics of ur sv man. I didnt appreciate sv dis on the last page.

lololol I've whored my SV out so many times in these threads. I'll post new pics once I get her out for the summer. It's still 35 degrees and snowy here. All I have are old pics.

Please post SV diss so I can neg accordingly. TY.

y wud u ride a fuking girls bike

[BryantTheBear]

What the **** man. Cleaning my air filter and was looking over the bike. Rear sprocket is already hooked.

I just put on new chain and sprockets, i wanna say less than 2k miles ago. But definitely less than 3k.

This cant be normal, right? How many miles should i get out of 520 pitch steel sprockets?

I expected more wear due to 520 pitch and shorter gearing (-1 +2), but this is bull****

Right but who was the perp?

That's funny because I think the new CBR's have atrocious headlights..

[jcranston]

You sure you didn't grab the aluminum rear?

[BryantTheBear]

Driven sprockets and i think the chain is RK. So it should be good stuff

[kickblake]

All sportbike headlights look stupid with the least stupid being the new panigale, and the most stupid being the S1000RR derpface. Everything looks better as a racebike. Which, then, makes me irate that WSBK is running headlight stickers this year which looks even worse than a real headlight!

[kickblake]

Driven makes aluminum too, and this is on a busa?

[BryantTheBear]

yeah its steel for sure

I know I don't like one headlight. That's part of what attracted me to the SV650S in the first place.

I was under the impression that a good steel sprocket should last you 20k. Was the chain aligned? Seems an awfully short time even if it wasn't.

edit: 520 on a busa? Still seems like a lot of wear for that mileage but I guess it's possible. Though I'd expect it to be harder on the chain than the sprockets.

[darkninja67]

Bear you running your chain too tight? You are adjusting it with someone seated on it right??

[BryantTheBear]

No, its a 600. When i first put on the chain i accidentally forgot to take it off the stands when i tensioned the chain. It was way way too tight, but i noticed on the first ride and loosened it with the allen wreches under the seat mid ride. Would that be enough to do it? I wonder if the front is shot too. What should i look for on the chain to know what kind of shape its in?
