Thanks! I was really happy with how it came together and looked in our booth with all the sport bikes around it! Unfortunately I didn't have time to take a decent pic of the bike in the booth and this is all I have of it at the actual show. I do have one of it all together when we were...

It's very mild it's just an 836, cam, ported and polished head.. More about just making reliable power... I've got other bikes I can ride if I really want to go fast, lol.. The motor in it right now is just a stocker while we build the final motor for it.

I really like the R90, hopefully I might build one next year... here are a few more pics of my 1975 CB750 project as we did a bunch of work on it in the last two weeks. (will be at the bike show in some form) pics of modifying the frame, setting chassis geometry, making shock mount, etc...

Your 5.9 is the only diesel truck I would still ever consider buying! Sell it to me ... :)

With 4.88 gears I will be lucky if I make it to the corner. :) It'll do a 12.1 in the quarter with me driving, I'm sure someone that didn't pay to repair it could get it safely in the 11s. Not crazy fast but its a 11,000lb daily driven truck that I take my family to the track pulling a 14,000lb...

I'll have to correct you and then pretty much bail on this as I think intelligent conversation is a passing dream. You jumped into my reply to Kellen who has a half ton truck. He puts his racebike in the back of it. I am talking to Kellen about trucks. You are the only one that isn't talking...

Replace all 8 glow plugs labour and tie up any loose ends and you won't get much back from 2.5k. I'm not sure what kind of truck you have, but I'm quite sure it wouldn't serve my purpose. Also keep in mind that injectors and other items I listed will be well over $2.5k so your argument is moot...

Don't do it. Diesels are great for towing and if you need one to tow nothing else compares. Problem is that 99% of people that have them don't need them. The payments on a half decent new diesel will be around $1000/month plus you are only going to see 20-25% fuel saving at most. If you are...

I thought they had shut down a while ago. They told me about two months ago they were closing and shortly after that the calls were getting forwarded to Newmarket. Danny the parts guy was the best in the business. He would pull all sorts of miracles to get us backordered parts for some of our...

Wasn't that his first time on track? It's awesome how the right instruction and motorcycle will put you years ahead of the "I'm too manly to ride anything less than a 600" crowd. Don't get me wrong I think the goal in the end should be able to make any bike regardless of cc, do whatever you...

The CBR/Ninja 250 are excellent choices because they have tons of parts availability, strong resale market, and are very easy bikes to build some solid skills learn on. You can use a standard but it will be heavier, I don't know of a ton of current/common small cc standards off the top of my...

Sorry buddy I didn't mean to be sarcastic at all. I'm not sure how I came across that way, but I do apologize if you took it as so. I'm trying to be friendly and actually interested in your input. I don't know you by your username but if you know me from SOAR I'm sure you know I'm very...

If I wanted a great streetbike I would buy a sport touring with Michelin Pilot Road 4s. Every sportbike made in the last 15 years is frustrating to ride on the road and will easily result in having your license suspended. I love racebikes with headlights! RC30, RC45, OWO1, R7 etc. (I don't...

I spend an inordinate amount of time at racetracks so I have an affinity to race bikes. I don't ever get time to ride while I'm there though. I have lots and lots of bikes that I don't use ... I have a problem. Lol

That's not nice! I think we should take the animosity out of this thread and just appreciate awesome bikes. :) It's just a difference if opinion. He would rather have $17k of Aprillia and I would rather have $17k of Honda. I think the BMW, Ape, and Ducati are all awesome.. It's just I can't...

Having well sorted suspension and brakes makes a very big difference on the road as well, not as big as the track but still very very nice to have. We install more ohlins suspensions on street bikes than race bikes by a ratio of 4:1! But in all honesty with all the citing of tracks, lap times...

Your argument is that you could use electronic rider aids instead of suspension and brakes? Well I guess if that's where you are at then that's all good and well. Me and most everyone I deal with are at the point that they need suspension and brakes to be faster. I've been riding for 20 years...

I'm not sure how there isn't more enthusiasm in this thread for this incredible bike. Honda was ballsy enough to build a true no nonsense street legal race bike and offer it to the general public for a song! Somehow this thread has become what kind of badge you can buy for that money and not...

I would go with any half ton (F150, Ram1500, GMC1500) American truck that's been maintained and been used for personal use...but that's just me. I've have a couple trucks but one of my favorites is surprisingly my 2003 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 Hemi with 295k on it! I use it has the shop truck as...
