    Attention American Grudge Racers

    You may or may not know that I had to retire because I can no longer commit the time to run a full series, And it did get a little boring watching Joe's mouth outrun his bike, but why don't you shoot me a pm with what you're looking for. Maybe I can help offset your costs, lol.

    Detroit is looking for Action

    You're re-enforcing my point. The commentators were speaking out of ignorance. Drag racing and circuit have differences in etiquette. A call-out in drag racing is common and accepted. I don't pipe up about appropriate etiquette on a road race discussion.

    Detroit is looking for Action

    Didn't suggest they were intruders, trolls was the word I used. Not saying they aren't welcome, only that if they would like respect, perhaps commenting as if they are authorities on something they clearly have no experience with might not be the way to get it. I'm the first to tell Joe he has...

    Detroit is looking for Action

    Sorry Brian, but your a moderator, maybe you can explain your position in a way that makes sense. The web-site has a sub-forum for dragracing. A bunch of coffee shop, keyboard racers enter said sub-forum and make ignorant and offensive statements. You then sanction the drag racer in the forum...

    Detroit is looking for Action

    What are you guys complaining about? The man offered a race, at a sanctioned racetrack. That is kind of the whole point. Your fellow experts are waiting for you at the coffee shop, where everyone's an expert.

    Problems with Motorcycle Drag racing in Ontario

    That's sort of the point I'm trying to make, lot of guys trying to run before they can walk, and all seem happy to assume it's easy. Love to see them try a simple test and tune, then express a slightly more informed opinion.

    Problems with Motorcycle Drag racing in Ontario

    Lots of comments from circuit guys. I'm wondering if they have tried drag racing or are making assumptions or speaking from experience. I used to think the same way. Then I tried it. Imagine my surprise when I realized I could head to the track after work on a Wednesday or Friday night, pay...

    At track power options

    Don't know how long it will run warmers, it runs my lights, cooling fans, radio, and laptop, and coffe machine, all weekend though. The big complaint is noisy Gennys at night. This solves that issue. Works for me.

    At track power options

    A diesel truck runs two batteries and can handle the inverter. A separate deep cycle marine and inverter is still the best bang for the buck when looking for alternatives to a noisy genny.

    Lowsided 650r - next steps?

    It looks strictly cosmetic, but I'm only looking at pics. No disrespect intended, but if you have to ask, err on the side of caution and get a mechanic to assess before you ride it.

    At track power options

    I've actually had great luck with solar panels on the roof, constantly charging the biggest marine battery I could find, linked to an inverter. Battery charger and $99 crappy tire genny in a box bolted to the tongue for a daytime quick charge when necessary.

    Any recommended Sportsbike mechanic in the GTA??

    Another +1 for z1, he did 2 motors for me this year, and is working on two more for next. If you can't get the performance your looking for from one of his motors, it's not the motor that's lacking!

    What Drag Shock is Everyone Using?

    John's right on this one, I was just teasing him, if you've ever seen him make a pass, it makes sense. I run a jri, and it was setup great right out of the box. Didn't finally needs a little tweaking now. You can't touch the price or support. The big downside of Brock is that he doesn't develop...

    If you're going to pull a weapon...

    Really? Driving a German car defines you as a bully? Wow, must be nice to be so simple-minded.

    2005 hayabusa 2005 gixxer 1k parts interchangable

    First gem Busa rims will fit. O5 gsxr 1000 to gen 1 Busa is close to a straight swap. I have 08 gsxr rims on my gen 1 Busa, not much to it. Google it for details. There is a thread on hayabusa.org that gives detail, but overcomplicates it. Z1 cycletech can do it for you pretty quickly.
