    Gas rage

    I bought a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with the 2.0L Turbo engine and AWD. With the 2.0L engine it has a 3,500 lb towing capacity. Normal driving for me it is averaging 10.0 l/100km. Can't complain about the vehicle at all, got a good deal on a barely used lease return. Good on gas for...

    Enjoy! I swapped my coolant out yesterday and other than suspension baseline tuning I'm ready to roll. Even pulled the trailer out yesterday and things are looking good, wiring intact and tires in good shape.

    Possibly buying a Z1000! If you have one, post a pic!

    I had an 08 Z1000. Loved the bike, put some nice slip on mufflers on it since the stock ones were hideous. Previous owner had done some of the other nice mods. Was a fun bike lots of power and seemed to pick up and go from any speed. From what I have read the newer ones are only better than...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Not true. I purchased my 2008 GSXR-750 in mint condition with 12,00 kms, new tires, full taylor made exhaust, tidy tail, double bubble windscreen, levers and all the nice additions one would do to motorcycle for 6K. This was 2 full seasons ago. I think there are way to many SS bikes out there...

    MotoGP 2018

    Anyone else find it comical that Lorenzo was so upset about the pass on him? Slow mo shows no contact, it was aggressive but this is the highest level of motorcycle racing. He can't get things going on that Duc. Good news is he got some camera time.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Saw that one and was going to place it here as well. If that is the case I can sell mine now for more than I paid two years ago and I doubled the kms. Might be a good way to make a $1000. lol. It seems harder and harder for people to insure SS bikes yet the cost of used ones seems to be...

    I'll probably just stick to my June 7 date. It's a Thursday 5-9 so I'll get a few session in to try things out before a full day. Keep me posted though, who knows I might just go.

    When are you going? I'm in St. Thomas too so not exactly the same town. I just follow this thread as it is mostly GBM talk which is where I spend my time.

    Kitchener/Waterloo area, c u next trackday riders thread!

    Switched my gearing last night -1/+1 and set the chain tension with some extra slack for the track. Bleed the brakes with fresh fluid the other day as well. Everything on the R6 is ready other than to flush the coolant and put in the water wetter, should be able to do this soon looking at the...

    I don't have a QS. Doubt I'll put any money toward it either at my level. If I race the. I could see doing it possibly.

    Kitchener/Waterloo area, c u next trackday riders thread!

    My setup is the bent linkage style you speak of. Also I did dig through the sprockets I have and the largest rear is a 49 so that'll be the set up -1/+1 currently has 15/47 which is -1/-1. Not sure what that set up would do. Be stock but spin a little quicker for acceleration I suppose?

    Kitchener/Waterloo area, c u next trackday riders thread!

    I have a brand new pair and funds aren't all that plentiful this year so I'll only be running at GBM about 4 Tuesday and 3 Thursday evenings. Should be good with one set, that place is so easy on tires. I did see it but will have to pass at this time. Being in St. Thomas I'd have to have them...

    Kitchener/Waterloo area, c u next trackday riders thread!

    I also found the same info after some googling. I'm going to go 15/50 apparently that is a nice acceleration set up. I think at 15/49 you would be set up pretty well. Be fun to do a few sessions together with basically the same machine. I'm running Q3+ this season what are you running for...

    I'll do some digging with the -1 Front +2 Rear and the 15/49. Not sure what stock is so might be the same set up. Thanks for the base line. Can play this year if things are feeling off. Have a sprocket for almost any gearing.
