I'm sorry to say that yes, I am a Darksider now. It took me this long to post it because I had the strangest thing happen to me after getting the tire on the bike. I suddenly couldn't figure out how to use a computer, I wanted to teach my bike how to fly, and felt like I had dropped 100 IQ...

Keep in mind, I've only heard rumor of it. I honestly don't know how much faith I have in it, but I suppose in the right conditions it could be possible to do.

Its my understanding some have done it in the 27 hour range, but I couldn't confirm it positively as I wasn't there.

Yup, I thought they sucked. Sort story version is they started out decent and quickly became scary to me. I pulled them off with probably 50% tread showing because they made me loose confidence while riding. Not a good situation to be in. I would rather stick a car tire on my bike than ride...

Hi folks. I haven’t been here in a looong time due to some life changing events, but I wanted to say a few words about NAFO. First of all, there is a BIG difference between setting up an event for 10-20 folks and setting up an event for 200+ folks. When you start to get to numbers that high...

Fred, I don't think the erosion has to do with heat, but more with UV light. While I have absolutely nothing to base this off of, I think this because of the amount of light being given off and the way the erosion looks. The chrome isn't blistering, or showing any warping from heat, it just...

Just a quick update on the minor issue. SkooterG called me about an hour ago and he was in Kingman AZ. Bike was running well and he didn't anticipate having any issues getting home from there. Right about now he's probably getting into the Phoenix metro area hitting out of town traffic. I'd...

IronMaiden has the same fuel cell as you, so you might want to talk to her. Unfortunately she's on vacation right now so I don't know if she'll be looking on here. She actually has her cell mounted the other way where the slope is towards the back. She doesn't have a topcase, but if she did...

I was working on clearing my Saturday so I could take a quick ride to LA and donate some blood, but I was informed that they only take donations Monday through Friday. :( Now I'm trying to see if I can either get Monday off, or *cough* get sick then.

It didn't. They blew it up on the dyno due to a lack of oil circulation.

My condolences to Patti, her family, her friends, and caregivers. Cancer is something that not only slowly takes the person inflicted with it, but also their friends and family. I try to think of a speach I first heard from Chuck Hickey a few years ago as often as I can. I apologize as I'm no...

I've done sections of this road before while camping. If you're not skeerd, this is definately something you could do on a street bike. I'd consider it, but I just dont have the free time right now to do it.

Thats why we get along Don. I also watch him like he was a child of mine. Besides, the way I look at it I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to still do it! Greg is mentally young enough to still do it, physically old enough to get hurt doing it!

Dinks or drunks? Either would be appropriate with this group, just double checking to make sure you didn't typo anything. ;)

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! Yes Skoot, you're that old! Sorry you had to learn this way, but its best you accept your old age and embrace it like Don has. :P BTW, if anyone wants to get me a gift, a cam chain tensioner would be great... :guiltysmiley:
