Thanks! For me, the 996 was the most desirable. I wasn't really into the air cooled and fell in love with the 996 GT2 after seeing its reliability on the early 2000s gumball with Lonman abusing his all over. I've seen turbo 996 for sale, but the GT2 are rarer. Neighbour has a 997 GT2 and 996...

Yeah man! I wanted to see what was going on here after asking an old buddy "What's going on these days on GTAM??:" time difference sucks. Prices here don't seem as inflated.. but the market is flooooooooded with Hayabusas man.. also ads aren't always properly done. I am a bit of an old man now...

Been overseas for 7 years now in the Middle East and redid my M2 several times never bothering to get a full M which could have been exchanged here. Having one parking spot and a bike is a mild definition of life struggles. I still enjoy bikes, but from afar. (We have MotoGP) It's simply too hot...

I've been outta the bike scene for a number of years now, but these threads are still entertaining. My last bike was during the recession ($10k cad for a CBR1000RR 08 model in 09) from the states when local dealers were selling the same bikes for $15k cad. The thread on importing was a helpful...

Agreed. Track is awesome and I regret waiting so long in my riding days to finally take my bike to the track. I've ridden a bunch of different bikes, mostly 600Ss and 1000cc+ superbikes, Hayabusa, etc. Until you ride a bunch (which I guess is difficult in your first few years of motorcycling as...

It almost sounded like Marquez was bragging about setting the fastest lap and mentioned something along the lines of "I can't talk about what happened with Vinales... I made the fastest lap and I got the [Tissot] watch as a prize... " Won the Pole Prize fastest watch? [emoji736] Haha!

Just watched this. The only glaring one to me was the smash into the back of Wilairot. He hit him like a cruise missile and I couldn't possibly fathom why there was a need for that when everyone else seemed to be on in-laps. From a team perspective, Honda probably watched and knew this, but...

In Qatar there were only two or three screens for the grandstand length. The action is somewhat hard to follow when you're used to television feed because the noise of the bikes mostly drowns out the at-track announcer. That said, I subscribe to the MotoGP video pass and the "live" video was...

Crutchlow just made me laugh. Read the article about how he's become so good now and how the Honda has gotten a bit better, but that it's still a difficult bike to ride. Extra LOL when he was quoted, arguing Zarco wouldn't be doing that on a Honda... He makes Marquez out to be a god it almost...

Agreed. Too many cameras nowadays and yet people still do not learn on BOTH sides...

I certainly didn't get those options for beyond 1080p on the paid stream account, but then again I was at the race using my phone and the crazy 100+ mbps connection there in the middle of the desert... The 30-40 second [satellite?] delay was kinda annoying, but was still entertaining.What an...

Newer codecs will do that on playback. I was on an older i5-2500 PC and in August upgraded to an i7-7700k because the prices had come down and I wanted something that was able to play h265 10bit 4k encodes to the TV. This made me consider GoPros and new 4k TV. Additionally, some cameras on...

For those interested in the protection of leather, without all the sweat, I have an older Rev'it Tarmac leather jacket and loved it... basically a racing suit jacket with full perforations except on the arms. Rev'it no longer makes it, but has something very similar (minus the speed hump) Check...

Ditto. I thought about the same the other day. Sold my bike over a year ago, but I still miss it. Especially after having watched some bikes recently. I thought to myself, riding 12 years and in all the time, no major injuries or hardship, despite the fact I lost a few friends. The commutes were...

Yeah, a majority were the V10s in their run up towards the 1000 hp mark before everything was re-neutered. The MotoGP bikes do sound very cool. As for the 3rd day of testing, unfortunately I didn't have the chance to attend. Weekend work interfered and too many deadlines. It certainly is making...

I attended the F1 races in Montreal roughly 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 or so with the V8s. I'll never forget the sound of a Jordan V10 cruising towards the back hairpin in 2001... it sent goosebumps up my spine. Those F1 cars were screamers and whiners (when the revs dropped through the...

He looked fast.. as did the Ducatis. I'm amazed at how loud they are in person, as I've only been to live F1 races in the V10 era. Very few people in attendance at the circuit on day one, even though the weather was a gem. Day two I arrived around 3pm local time and tried getting a free...

Marquez is basically in a class of his own with that combination of Honda Bike and his talent (Pedrosa picks up points/wins with the bike on the days Marquez gives 101% and makes mistakes. To me here, the Honda is the best combination of rock/paper/scissors on a majority of the tracks. We saw...

Some people change bikes like underwear... In over 12 years of riding, I've owned only 3.. two long termers *2004 R6 and 2008 CBR 1000) after my first 250 was rear-ended a week into ownership. I lost $700 on the insurance and vowed to go straight to a 600... was a steep learning curve and wish I...

My bike's OEM chain was a bit tight/loose in some spots so I decided to replace it... the sprockets I took it off of had more meat on the sprocket teeth than the AFAM I replaced the OEM with.. haha... I'd clean and lube my chain every 600-1000 km... Kerosene (toothbrush, later bought a chain...
