picture worth thousand words. I guess gif worth at least a few thousands: 2-stroke in motion: 4-stroke in motion: If this keep you excited, google and search the invention of exhaust expansion chamber. You will be amused and more appreciated the engineering behind a 2-stroke engine. If...

basically 4 stroke engine has 4 stage: suck (suck in fuel/air mixture), squeeze (compress the air/fuel), bang (strike the spark to burn the compressed air/fuel), blow (release the burnt waste). 2 stroke will do suck and squeeze in 1 stroke, bang/blow in the second stroke. thus in theory, it...

According to the 15 yrs law, you can import a 1995 or older RS250... imo they look nicer than the last version of RS. The biggest problem is finding one. If you find one in the state, make sure its street legal because most of them are club bike (track only). Some owner converted them for...

Only if I have the leg muscle to paddle uphill, or the cadence to sprint downhill :(

Well, not too bad. here is mine:

I kind of agree with you. I think Japanese sportbike glory days has two high point... First one is from late 80s - early 90s where the 250 and 400s zipping around in Japan, then the second peak during the battle of I4 vs v-twin. There is really nothing spectacular between mid 90s - late 90s...

Hold on a sec... I think I talk to you before? I remember your screenname...

OMG this is the reverse cylinder version!!

It just meet the 10 yr mark. it was a 2000. Your RS might be more powerful. My TZR was restricted to 40hp stock. I might be trading my TZR for a aprilia RS125... Single cylinder is easier to take care than a v-twin.

All my bikes meet the mark! so.... pic whoring! 93 TZR250 - my current track weapon (more like a pocket knife then "weapon") 00 Aprilia Mille - my current daily driver (just make the 10 yr mark!) 88 YSR50 (no decent photos find online...)

I was looking at the RC for last year, a long with some other big twins. I can understand why RC hold its value. That said, I end up picking up a Mille and I believe its better value. The R version is the same price as the RC, but it come with Ohlins front and rear suspensions, steering...

Re: Did you get a new bike? Post some pics. new (to me) Mille!!! Just got plated this morning. The advantage of living in motorcity is $18 per year for the sticker!

newbie ape rider here. riding the very first gen mille this year. but I relocated all the way in Detroit couple years ago.

:thumbup: I guess it will be :thumbup:x2 if you follow the news in the 70s.

well, next few idea... 1. join a running club 2. sign up for a race (half mary, 10k, or whatever it is), set up a expected time to finish and train for it. 3. get a sexy female trainer to run with you (aka pace booty). did you watch the clip I posted? In the blue days during winter...

I never run dreadmill, always outdoor. The only time I use dreadmill is when its thunderstorm out there. For those who hate running but run on the dreadmill, did you try to run outdoor? for those who hate running and already running outdoor, did you run on sidewalk or did you have a good...

A motorcyclist has to be a capitalist in order to afford this expensive hobby, not too many socialist in our community! :D Seriously I agree with you. "The Motorcycle Diaries" and "The World Fastest Indian" are probably the best motorcycle movie in last decade.

if you like HK / asian stuff and don't mind oldschool cheesiness, there are several classic: All About Ah Long (1990) A Monent of Romance (1990) A Monent of Romance II (1993) Full throttle is the best non-documentary sportbike movie. I wish they adapt the plot and make it to Hollywood like...

+1 !!! the best bike move in the recent days +1 !!! the best asian bike movie!

Here is the ultimate guide to avoid the remaining expense (green stuff) on the list. EI, CPP, Worker's Comp, Fed Tax, Prov. Tax - if you are part-time minimum wage, or if you don't work at all and live off UI or welfare, you don't have to pay. Don't worry, the rich guy (aka tax payer) will pay...
